I can’t describe in words how thankful I am. I will definitely be looking into that!

Hmm… I’ve heard otherwise. It seems that the larger public institutions have more money to give grants, whereas the lesser known private universities don’t have that kind of savings. If you any universities in mind, I’d be happy to know. That way I can do a little researching.

No, my parents aren’t rich at all (wish they were!). Only my dad works, and he’s a computer engineer. I know they said they would help pay for my tuition, (along with my brothers’), but in reality, it won’t work out without FA/scholarships. His income is below $100,000, and I know for a fact that our savings will shrink based on current income/current savings (not that much savings either). No businesses, no extra savings (parents started out really poor), just what we have now is what we have (and unfortunately there’s not much). It’s only because of all the scholarships that my brothers have accumulated that my parents can pay for the rest, as of their first year tuition. They said they would help “pay” for my tuition, but not without them going into debt.
It seems that all the costs of tuition - 4 year college, medical school - is going to sum up to an enormous amount. Since the courses are essentially the same in nature, I’m guessing that it would be best to work more towards a cheaper school than a top tier school? Thanks again
