<p>As a Dartmouth ‘16, I hate to recommend anywhere but where I am going, but I think it would make sense, given your situation, to go to OU. Your parents would be happy and willing to support you at essentially the med school of your choice (given your caliber, as you got into Dartmouth). If you really dislike OU, chances are you could graduate early and spend a semester or year abroad. Bottom line is that no education should cost $248,000+ out of your parents’ pockets. You could cut down on 10 years plus of debt and unnecessary stress later in life by having your parents help you through med school. OU has some fantastic opportunities and is still a good school. Sorry you have such a predicament and I hope this helps (even minimally).</p>
