Someone posted that the other day. They thought they could afford and due to cuts, now can’t. It’s why I’d Check Drew too, especially since the student wants an LAC.

Compare Drew and Swarthmore… Not the same at all. Drew doesnt even have a category in this forum which says something. Drew is the 85th best LAC, whilst Swarthmore is the 3rd best LAC. I would rather just attend Rutgers at that point
It’s a question of if you want large or small - at least to me. Drew or Swat won’t matter for med school. Rutgers is large and disjointed.
Ramapo gives you better med school odds if you get in the LECOM program. Better than Rutgers.
Rank - by the way -means little. What makes US News the authority ? It’s to sell magazine. My kid chose an unranked over a top 20 in his major. Was comparing notes with an Ivy grad at trivia night. Makes more than him from a generic flagship.
Swat is more selective. But the kid with the higher gpa and MCAT will fare better - Drew, Ramapo or Swat.
You have your plan so best of luck.
One thing to consider is how you plan on funding medical school. Although the salary of a physician is enough to pay back even private loans, qualifying for private loans without a creditworthy cosigner is another can of worms.
Wayne Med-Direct - Wayne State University - this BA/MD program comes with an undergraduate full ride along with four years of free medical school tuition.

That’s good news! The remaining question is would you like for someone else to pay for you to have a traditional residential college experience, and possibly a different overall experience than a large research university near home.
