[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much money do you have?
Med school (John Hopkins) is $20k
There are other ways to make money. Do it if you really want to. Explore other options like pharmacy or veterinary school.
I bet that you can make the same amount of money in other professions too. Do not do it if you are only interested in money.
There is actuarial sciences that might interest you.

If this is still what you want, but do not have a rich daddy, then get a secondary certification that would allow you to maintain a nicer pay part time job, like hair dresser or pharmacy technician. To become a dr is about 10 years of study. You do want to live as well [/quote]

Hopkins medical school tuition is $62,000 per year. I don’t know where this poster got their numbers.[/quote]

I think PP meant $200K.[/quote]

Well, my kid is M3 (2.5 years) and we have spent more than 200k already (230 or so at this point). We expect to spend 350k by the time kid graduates. Public instate med school. [/quote]

May I ask how much you budget for annual living expenses including things like rent, food, transportation, exam prep and residency applications?[/quote]

For M3, COA shows about 85k - about 50k for tuition and additional 35k for all other stuff combined. In our case, other than 50k, we are paying 25-30k (1000 per month rent, 1000 per month CC (food/gas...etc.) so the total comes out to be around 80k. Does not include other expenses like computer, a new car (to do rotations)...etc. it IS expensive[/quote]
