[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you kidding ? BU! Have you looked at now expensive med school is ?[/quote]

+1 four years of undergrad four years of med school three to four years of residency maybe one year of fellowship you seriously don't want to start off 250k in debt. As for those people saying he may change his mind about med school we don't know. OP knows her son, but starting off in debt after undergraduate is a recipe for disaster and BU is not a bad school no matter how magical Yale may be, and I say this as an Ivy League graduate.

All I know is the Harvard doctor got into the same competitive residency as the doctor from state school, a brand name undergrad gives you only a very slight edge up for med school.[/quote]

The 250k in debt turns out to be trivial for the doctors that I have known.[/quote]

Yeah 250k in debt from medical school is manageable.

250k on debt from med school and 250k debt from undergrad is 500k that is s huge burden on even the most highly paid doctor. And what, most specialities you get 200 k on graduating? Not everyone goes to plastic surgery, dermatology or orthopedic surgery.  I just went to a party where the doctors wife I knew told me how they could not afford a house in a relatively high cost of living area. And I am a doctors wife myself so I know some aspects of our acquaintances financial situations and undergrad did not matter.

Now as a finance professional if ops kid wanted to go into finance I would say Yale all the way.[/quote]
