<p>So that’s one Ivy League which is below $50,000 – so far below that $40,000 is actually a better estimate. I remain curious about the other seven.</p>
<p>It’s absurd to include car insurance and summer courses. Health insurance is a part of “fees”, as in “Tuition and fees.” Travel and books do not add up to $6,000. I bet they don’t even add up to $1500.</p>
<hr>
<p>If students are telling me they chose a school for scholarship money and happened to get an MD guarantee in the process, I’ll have no complaints.</p>
<p>I don’t hear that very often.</p>
<hr>
<p>Again, I’m not an Ivy Leaguer. I’m not sitting around telling people that they should all be thinking Princeton-or-bust.</p>
<p>All I’m saying is that students should pick their top choice college and ignore the MD guarantee, which is vastly overrated. If that happens to be Ohio State, and it happens to come with a NEOUCOM guarantee, great for them. But if their top choice would have been Vanderbilt, and they choose Ohio State *because of the *NEOUCOM guarantee, they’re making a serious error.</p>
