a friend brought UCinn SoM’s tuition schedule to my attention.
For 2nd and 3rd year 3 semesters of tuition are being charged.
This is rather interesting because if people ever compare tuition when making a decision, usually only the 1st year is reported and that’s used for comparison. It would be a surprise to later find out that some schools are charging an add’l $20k+ for 3rd and 4th years.
Here is UCinn SOM 2nd year

I remember looking at OSU when D2 was drawing up her list of schools. COA for years 3 & 4 are 20-30K MORE than MS1. Part is due to a higher allowance for professional clothing, exam fees and transportation to clinical sites, but there’s $15K tuition bump for everyone. (One reason why D2 decided NOT to apply to OSU.)
Wright State also bumps tuition by $10 for MS3.

UToledo charge 3 semesters tuition for MS3 & 4

Maybe it’s an Ohio thing…
It’s interesting because I know that my son didn’t have much time off during summers between years 2 and 3…and between years 3 and 4…but much of it was doing research. I’m glad he didn’t have to pay two extra semesters just to do research.
It may just be an Ohio thing, don’t know, but if others get wind of this who knows who might adopt it!
Thanks. It is a good catch m2ck! Details in fine prints. It is a whooping fees, almost coming to $100k for year 2 & 3 if you include every expense. Too expensive.
D1 and D2 both got tuition bills for summer semesters during MS2 & MS3–but their bill was for $0.
I’ve hunted around ~6 websites of midwestern publics, ~6 NE publics and all the western publics—none of them charge extra tuition for MS3 & 4 that I’ve seen. I really do think it’s just an Ohio thing…
@WayOutWestMom which 6 did you check? I want to check some but I want to check other ones.
Did you look at Univ of IL?

Note the tuition ranges for med school based on number of credit hours. It appears that those lower amounts may be for summers.
Note the mention on med school lines that assessment is over 11 terms. That sounds like 8 regular semesters and 3 summer terms. But I could be totally wrong.
Looks like Indiana has an extra summer charge for rising juniors and seniors.

I did look at Penn State, and because it’s sort of public/private, the tuition is the same for instate and OOS…something we talked about in another thread.
I didn’t look at U of I. I looked at MO, KY, IN, IA, NE, MI, MN and WI.
And I take it back–UWash bumps its tuition up for clinical years by $12K.
BTW, IU SOM does something strange with its tuition & fees–the price is the same for all 4 years, but the cost is divided into 2 semesters for MS1-2 and 3 semesters for MS3-4. (So fall tuition for MS3 is 2/3 of fall tuition for MS1.)
^^
Yes I noticed that for IU SOM…they also have a summer charge.
But IU’s summer charge doesn’t increase the total yearly tuition & fees. MS1-2-3-4 all have the same annual tuition
