[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's unclear how this accomplishes much of anything, since anyone admitted to medical school is pretty much assured of qualifying for loans if unable to pay out of pocket, because future earning power is guaranteed to enable repayment of those loans.  That is, I doubt anyone is deterred from applying to medical school because of the cost of tuition.

It is nice that some medical school students won't have to take out or repay loans, but it's not like the school will admit more applicants and produce more graduates.  The supply of graduates will remain the same after this donation, with the only apparent difference being that some graduates will not have loans to repay, while those who have loans will have the earning power to repay theirs.

Seems kind of pointless, actually.    [/quote]

A lot of people would not attend medical school if that required massive loans.  You can apply and see what kind of financial aid / merit aid is available.  If the cost of school is too high, you can do something else.  Or not apply to begin with.

Nobody wants to get into massive educational debt.  This is kind of a duh obvious thing.[/quote]

Bullshit. Debt doesn’t stop any QUALIFIED American kids from going to medical school. [/quote]

It absolutely does.  You are wrong.[/quote]
