I guess that helps with the need based aid (in terms of grants and scholarships), but considering most schools don't require a family contribution anyways, I don't see the big deal. Everyone takes out loans regardless...seems more like a publicity move than anything that's particularly meaningful.


I'm not very familiar with EFC and so on because I went to a state undergrad and didn't need any aid. I mean, on a personal level, my parents wouldn't be exempt under the new policy, but they've yet to spend a dime on my medical school education. If I had gone to HMS does that mean the school would dictate the way in which we'd agreed to finance my education? As a independent adult, I don't see where that fits...
