[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD just got accepted by MIT but we're neither qualified for any merits nor financial aid.  The cost will be 73K+/yr and it is a lot of money.  DD will likely get full-ride from state schools.  DD is debating whether to invest 300K and attend state school for pre-med.

Thoughts?[/quote]

If considering pre-med and money is an issue, I would say state school. Med school admission requires high GPA which may be difficult at MIT. This is what I have heard fro my DS who is at MIT, but if maintaining high GPA is not a concern, no place like MIT![/quote]

Agreed, MIT alumni again. I had many friends go on to be successful doctors, BUT they struggled a lot in the admissions process. You don't get bonus points for being in a rigorous undergrad program that sinks your grades. I do have a few friends that ended up on very extended paths to become a doctor because of their grades.

We had a joke among me and my friends - we all posted our Harvard grad school rejection letters above the toilet. I will say that people were pretty disillusioned over the whole grad school process. It felt like we were just a number like everyone else.[/quote]
