@OH2020MOM DD is also planning for medical school. Since GPA and MCAT scores are the most important 2 components in applying medical school, DD is considering to attend a Good school to get the best GPA (and not worry about top school grade deflation) instead of Top private school. UPITT, rank ~#57, gave her very generous scholarship so it is a very viable option. We are waiting on all results to make a final decision.
We don’t plan to tap into retirement fund to pay for top college
