[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]

I agree with this. Med school requires straight As, though maybe they would be equally influenced by the undergrad degree - you should reach out to MIT and get their outcomes for med school applicants. That said, I am not sure I would care about an undergrad degree from MIT from my doctor. It's sort of an odd fit and the actual med school attended carries a lot more weight in my mind.  I'd check with your options as to where the kids get into for med school. On its own being med school bound, I am not sure I'd pick/pay for MIT.[/quote]
