<p>Congrats, Ohiomom and DS! That’s great news. My son got his second acceptance yesterday, and boy, the second one feels pretty darn good as well!. I actually answered the phone here at home and right away knew it was not a telemarketer. Thankfully I was able to catch my son via text within 5 minutes and he called them back. Very exciting time for sure! </p>
<p>Congrats to the MD Class of 2016!! :)</p>
<p>Excellent news, Ohiomom. That first one means you can breathe, he knows he is going somewhere, everything else coming in is gravy!</p>
<p>Congrats to ohiomom and her son (as well as CapeCodLaydy)! The first is always the sweetest.</p>
<p>Thanks, everyone! It feels good to breathe! And if it feels like this to me, I can’t imagine the weight that’s been lifted from him.</p>
<p>Capecodlady: Congrats to you and your son!!</p>
<p>Congrats to the sons of ohiomom and CCL, well done!</p>
<p>Best wishes to everyone still waiting. Hope you hear something soon, too! :)</p>
<p>*And big thanks so much to all you veterans helping us get through the process!! Appreciate the congrats, too! Thanks again!!</p>
<p>Accepted to my state med school (Minnesota) last week. I love me some instate tuition!</p>
<p>Much congratulations!</p>
<p>(And in-state prices are veeerrryyyy nice.)</p>
<p>pccool52, Congratulations!</p>
<p>Very nice pccoo52!</p>
<p>Congrats, pccool! Great job!</p>
<p>Congratulations, pccool52! Gotta love that instate tuition!</p>
<p>Well done, pccool52!</p>
<p>In-state is good, but we figuree out that the total diff. is sbouy the price of one car. So, I told my own D. to forget the price tag and even miniscule Merit award of $2k/year at her state Med. and decide based on which one she likes the best. We also could do it because her UG was free for her. So, she has chosen the most expensive out of 4 that she was accepted. So far it has been working fine, still long way to go. …And we will skip buying another car for awhile.</p>
<p>Super pccool!</p>
<p>Congratulations PCcool</p>
<p>In-state is FANTASTIC!</p>
<p>For son (he’s paying, not me), it was/is equal to many, many cars. Difference is:
now maybe $30,000 in loans for all 4 years, maybe less, merit awards can go up and $250,000-$325,000 in loans for all 4 years. HUGE difference.</p>
<p>The $30,000 is for some living expenses (rent’s low $325), savings for exams and interview expenses for residencies. If he needs less, he’ll take out less. His in-state beat out his ivy unit loan offers and the package gets better as the school year has progressed.</p>
<p>Son picked the least expensive option for med school and he too incurred no debt from undergrad which he also was on the hook for financially, all 3 degrees.</p>
<p>So in-state is freaking awesome! Congrats!!! Big Congrats!</p>

no slight to Miami’s D, just a different perspective</p>
<p>^At all our state Med. School, price for the 3rd and 4th year is the same as at privates. Did your S. check price for 3rd and 4th year at his state. I have checked 2 that D. was accepted and they both were expansive. The difference was only in 1st and 2nd year with total difference of about $30+K. That is the price of one car. D. had the choices of 2 state and 2 privates, at the end she was choosing between 2 privates.<br>
However, acceptance to any Med. School, more so to the one of your personal preference is a great accomplishment. Cost is secondary consideration.</p>
