Georgia medical school instate tuition is <$9,000 / year. https://www.google.com/search?q=medical+college+of+georgia+t...

And that’s without the hope scholarship which anyone getting into MED school in georgia likely qualifies for making (gpa >3.0)

Most state schools are not that expensive at least for their residents.

I'm not sure what number that's from - I think that's the undergrad tuition, not medical school tuition (https://www.augusta.edu/mcg/admissions/tuition-augusta.php)

In any case, that's tuition alone, and at one public medical school in one state (i.e. most people applying to medical school each year won't qualify for that price; caveat is other states with low prices, such as Texas medical schools, which are routinely the cheapest in the country, but also take >95% instate residents).

Also, my medical schools calculates another $30k in fees and living expenses per year.

Here's another datapoint for you: SUNY Upstate in New York. Tuition alone for instate residents: $43k. Taken from: http://www.upstate.edu/currentstudents/document/com_budget_y...

I'm actually curious now what the costs are for each states' public schools. I can't seem to find a single reference for that though.

You are right it’s 28k / year for georgia residents. Thanks for correcting me.
