Hello guys!
First off just let me say that this is my first post here, so I apologize if this is not in the right category (didn't know for sure where to put it?)! Anyway though, I am an upcoming junior looking into pursuing a medical career. I have worked extremely hard the past two years in school and with both a part-time job and many ECs in hope to attend a prestigious college, but now I am having second thoughts as to whether I should be applying to these high price tag tuition schools in the near future.
After under-graduate school, I know a good medical school can easily put me in over 500,000 dollars worth of debt. I am simply unsure whether going to the high price undergraduate school is going to be worth all the more debt in the end. I am looking for guidance as neither of my parents went to college and I don't have mentor I can talk to.
Another thing that is worrying me is that my parents make 100,000+ together, but will probably only be able to pay for my books. Will I still be able to receive financial aid/grants if my parents make a six figure income? I know it must be possible, but it worries me.
So, anyway, if I am accepted to one of my absolute dream under-graduate schools, is it "worth it"? I don't know how to put it as "worth it" doesn't seem right. I know having attended that college will help my chances of acceptance to medical school (and good grades of course), but is this all that huge, pricey school will help with?
Thanks so much in advance!
Emmi
