+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]

If DC wants to be a community physician, there is no competitive advantage in going to a better college. But, if DC is interested in more than practice then college matters a lot.  It's the same as law school. If all you want to do is be a lawyer, you can go anywhere and get into Suffolk Law and pass the bar.  But, if you want to be a legal scholar, appellate judge, etc. going to an elite law school and an elite college matter a lot. [/quote]

That's bs. In my DH dermatology class out of the whole group of over ten residents only two were from ivy leagues. Med school is seriously all about grades and MCATS, it's very different from law school.[/quote]

Law school is ALL about grades and the LSAT.[/quote]
