[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do medical students still get evaluated (financially) by parents income? What keeps these students from being independent? At what age are they considered independent?

This.  I am assuming that my 25 year-old son is not being evaluated on his parents’ income.  He is an adult and does not have access to my money anymore.

I went to graduate school at 26 and never had to submit my parents’ income.  I was working and paid the tuition out of my own income. I have to imagine that the Hopkins financial aid office works similarly.  I guess a med student married to an investment banker might get hit with tuition, but they could just stay engaged and put off the wedding for three years.  [/quote]
This is a great question and I wouldn’t assume that your 25 year old isn’t being evaluated on your income. My child (who we don’t claim on taxes anymore) is getting ready to apply to med school and looked at the AAMC fee assistance waiver. It absolutely requires parent income until age 26 unless you are emancipated. We haven’t gotten further to the actual aid from medical schools. [/quote]
