[quote=Anonymous]So let's break this down.

Tuition, room, board, and fees at UVA for this year was $54,172 (OOS). Taking out the DC stipend, that's a minimum of $44,172 per year for 4 years or $177,000.

I'm assuming the full tuition scholarship at UVM means you'd be paying room, board, and fees. Those totaled $13,782 this year. So, a minimum of $55,100 for 4 years.

That's a difference of more than $30k per year or $122k. That's a lot of money.

My personal biases:

(1) I do think UVA is a better school than UVM, with a higher caliber of student (on average). Do I think it's $122k better? Eh, probably not to me, but the answer to that question obvious depends in part on family income, etc. For my family $122k is a hell of a lot of money. For other families, it's not so much.

(2) Do I think going to UVA will *materially* improve her chances for admission to a good medical school? I sincerely doubt it.

So I guess the question I would ask is:

Do you have this kind of money, or would this be a real stretch for you?[/quote]
