[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They're very similar schools for pre-med.

If cost for both undergrad and med school is not a factor for your family, ask your kid to choose based on "fit" factors.

Oh please.  Anybody who "fits" in one of these schools will "fit" into the other.  Save the 30k.  This is a no brainer.[/quote]

The student may want to go out of state, and the parents can afford it. I'm speaking as a parent whose kid chose UNC over a different in-state university. I agree...not worth it. But we support kid's decision. We have a budget, and cost falls within it.

Kid was told that if applying to UVA or Michigan as an OOS student, they needed a very compelling reason to go or don't even apply; i.e. school has a program that can't be done anywhere else. Those two are ~85K+ OOS. I just hope that UNC won't become like UVA & Michigan.

Our friends who sent their kids to private school for 6-12 have spent ~700K+ for 2 kids (pre-college) prior to spending 720K+ for 2 for private colleges. To each their own, especially if one is not going into debt![/quote]
