<p>I posted this in the Med School forum but thought some parents might also be interested…</p>

<p>Can you imagine graduating from med school debt free? That should bring a few best students out for a serious look-see.</p>

<p>several med schools offer the same thing… u just got to do ur research. i plan to go undergrad and med school - w/o paying a dime.</p>

<p>Oh good! Name some names, so we can all share in this information.</p>

WUSTL </p>

<p>Vanderbilt cite didn’t work</p>

<p>wustl is a competitive scholarship.</p>

<p>That’s a completely different thing than every student getting the freebies.</p>

<p>So true–in this case of UCF, the competition would come at trying to get accepted into the med school.</p>

11

<p>go there and click honor scholarships on the left hand side underneath medical students (highlighted in green)</p>

12

<p>UCF: Not a bad idea at all. It will get more undergrads to take a serious look. and probably result in the school being more competitive sooner. What a great opportunity for students.</p>

<p>Which means that the scholarships will only be around for a little while…</p>

<p>as long as such a thing as “double minority” in science and medicine exists… i will always find a scholarship.</p>

<p>by the ways… the medical college of georgia isn’t too expensive.</p>
