@imthereal - I know you don’t want to believe this, but there are no bad med schools in the country. Period. Medical School can be paid for entirely with loans if a student wishes to do so. That your cousins chose a cheap in-state option rather than graduating from somewhere else (assuming of course that they had multiple acceptances) shows that they were thinking ahead about the money. Competition for residencies is tough, but that is not news. Where your cousins land their residencies will have precious little to do with the name of the medical school they graduate from.
