[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m guessing all the need based programs take into account parents income, and the cutoff is probably not that high. Just because parents make $300k combined and live in a house that has appreciated to $900k does not mean they can afford $360k of med school tuition on top of paying for college.[/quote] That's not school's problem to figure it out. That's yours. [/quote] 90% of programs don’t offer any aid or scholarships at all, especially for first year students. There is now a lifetime cap on stafford loans, so it is nearly impossible to afford. My kid was told to do FAFSA as an independent by the med school, my income not taken into account. Kid only 20. I’m not sure if they all do that to level playing field? [/quote]
