<p>How do you get the cost of UCLA to be only $22,500? Did they offer you significant scholarship money? The estimated on-campus Cost of Attendance for next year is just over $55,000.

<p>If Med School is your goal, you want to spend as little as possible (or at least take on as little debt as possible) for your undergrad degree. Med School is hideously expensive, and there are almost no scholarships available. Most people pay for Med School entirely with student loans, and graduate with debt in the range of $250,000 - or more than many homes cost.</p>
<p>Here is a handy tool from our friends at FinAid.org that will help you compare your aid packages: [FinAid</a> | Calculators | Award Letter Comparison Tool](<a href=“Your Guide for College Financial Aid - Finaid”>Award Letter Requirements - Finaid) Run the numbers through it. If that package from CMC isn’t a true full ride (tuition, fees, housing, and meals) and you have to come up with more than just books and personal expenses, it might not be affordable either.</p>
