I have been looking at UA as maybe a good alternative. It actually gives good merit for OOS. I need to look into FSU as it was not on the (Automatic Full Tuition Scholarship list).
The problem with WUE schools is there still are very few medical schools in any of the states around us, so that is a big disadvantage. From what I have been reading it seems most medical schools take the majority of students from their state first, then they take some OOS (and I have a feeling that those OOS have to be the cream of the crop). Plus I think I read that about 50% of kids that start on the path to medical school need to drop for various reasons and then all this is just a mute point, lol. Then of those 50% who graduate only 50% get accepted. Maybe I am not really understanding what I have been reading. Or is this info more or less correct?
I thought the community college route made so much sense. Move as soon as she graduates (The thing is we really do want to move). It isn’t just to get in-state tuition. East coast has very affordable beach properties which is why we were looking at NC. Then she could do one or two years of community college while obtaining residency. Transfer to university and get in state tuition. But then I someone wrote, not if you want to go to medical school. Is that an absolute? I just hate to see her finish with some $200+ of debt!
