<p>a $150K in debt and you want to go to medical school? There is a thread on this forum where a girl who is an ND grad and now in med school in Chicago, she was asked about incurring debt in undergrad and then going to med school. She said no way she would have go to ND if she had incurred a lot of debt , and then take on more debt for med school.</p>
<p>I am not picking on ND here, they have good pre-med program and run a tight ship for kids wanting to go to med school, if you are not making the grades, they advise you to get out. </p>
<p>But no school is worth $150,000 in debt and also I think the stafford loan limit is $220,000 total for undergrd and med school, so you won’t have any money to go to med school.</p>
<p>We know one kid at a top private school who is pre-med, he has taken on too much debt and now the only way he can attend med school is to try to get the military to pay for it. The parents told us this at an Xmas party.</p>
<p>No No No No!, that is unbelievable that you would even consider taking on that much debt!</p>
<p>If you went to UC Berkley, UI, UVa or U of Mi, and majored in one of the hard sciences, got a good GPA and EC’s and did well on the MCAT, you will get into med school. In fact U of Mi is better regarded for the sciences and has a higher USNWR peer ranking, so the profs recommendations carry more weight.</p>
