The Economics of getting into Medical School

First of all, I am totally embarrassed to admit that I have spent this money on getting into medical school.  I was in so much denial that I delayed actually adding up the amount because I JUST DIDN'T WANT TO KNOW. However, as a service to those who are applying or thinking of applying I thought I would just put it all out there.  I am still somewhat anonymous (so far) in this blog.  If you are thinking of applying to med schools just know that you will almost certainly be requested to submit a secondary application for each school you apply to.  The only schools that I didn't get offered a secondary to had some sort of state residency requirement.  It all started with me taking a Kaplan MCAT prep course.  All in all about $5k was spent to get me one spot in MERP at ROSS.
