Med school (John Hopkins) is $20k
There are other ways to make money. Do it if you really want to. Explore other options like pharmacy or veterinary school.
I bet that you can make the same amount of money in other professions too. Do not do it if you are only interested in money.
There is actuarial sciences that might interest you.
If this is still what you want, but do not have a rich daddy, then get a secondary certification that would allow you to maintain a nicer pay part time job, like hair dresser or pharmacy technician. To become a dr is about 10 years of study. You do want to live as well

Med school admissions are very different now.
NP - it’s not that hard to believe. My daughter is an English major and a current senior and accepted to med school w/o a gap year.
I would guess she’s an English major who took all the science pre-reqs then? Leaving that part out is missing a big part.
I think some folks say things just to make a point.

Hopkins medical school tuition is $62,000 per year. I don’t know where this poster got their numbers.
I think PP meant $200K.
Well, my kid is M3 (2.5 years) and we have spent more than 200k already (230 or so at this point). We expect to spend 350k by the time kid graduates. Public instate med school.
May I ask how much you budget for annual living expenses including things like rent, food, transportation, exam prep and residency applications?

Anonymous wrote:Medical family there. We are both doctors and have 1 in residency now and 1 in second year of medical school. Both of mine were humanities majors but definitely strong in sciences. Pre-req are all the same regardless of your major. Mine took anatomy,
orgo , biochem, etc as undergrads and felt prepared (as much as you can be) for their first year. I think it is really the pace and depth which is the most challenging. Not sure that there is an undergrad degree that prepares you for that. Even if you are a biochem major there are plenty of non biochem classes you need to take in medical school.
Also people really overlook what medical schools want now. They want the highest GPA and MCAT score. However you can get that is the way to go.
