While a large number of our students do get into the UU School of Medicine, it is important to apply to a variety of medical schools to keep your options open and increase your opportunities for admission. See the Premedical advising office for information on applicant statistics. On top of that you will have fees, instruments, books and cost of living. Do not let the cost deter you from your career goal, as financial aid is available to cover most of these costs. However, you should start becoming familiar with the types of financial aid and how students pay for their medical education.
Most aid is in the form of educational loans.
The largest provider of scholarships is the military, in return for a service obligation. There are also low interest loans and loan repayment assistant programs sponsored by states and federal government for those going into primary care. See the Financial Aid section on the Medical School Checklist page. There are literally hundreds of health related careers requiring various levels of education.
