Should I Apply to Schools I can't Afford?

I’m quite sure @MYOS1634 was not presuming the student would get instate tuition at a public medical school in another state.

BUT some medical schools do consider “ties” to the area when admission is considered. If this student goes to an undergrad school in another state, perhaps he would be able to demonstrate he intends to stay in this other state. This is especially true for some DO schools who are hoping to fill primary care positions in the underserved areas near where they are located.

BUT let’s get back to the subject here. We don’t know how this student completed the net price calculators. Were the out of country assets and home included? If not…the NPC results clearly are NOT accurate…at all.
