Is the school of thought these days to take the sure thing if you have that chance?

There is no definitive answer to this.

1. Some (actually many) folks who enter college thinking they want to be doctors actually change their minds and pursue other options. So…a sure thing to medical school might not be a sure thing for your kid in the end.

2. Does this early program guarantee acceptance to the medical school portion…or does it just guarantee an interview. Check.

3. Costs…once your student hits the medical school portion, the costs will likely be $100,000 a year…or more. Federally funded loans are now limited to $200,000 total…which won’t fund medical school in full. So…have a plan for that.
