If interested, another medical school in NY that offers free tuition is NYU. They write, "1st medical school to offer Full-Tuition Scholarships for all students" [0].

Interesting! Does anyone know how this affected their application numbers, selectivity, or ranking?

> We award Full-Tuition Scholarships to all current students and future matriculated students, regardless of merit or financial need, that cover the majority of the cost of attendance, provided each student maintains satisfactory academic progress in accordance with NYU Grossman School of Medicine’s Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy

I wonder what it means to cover a "majority" of the cost of attendance. Does this mean they cover tuition, but living expenses (which are not trivial in NYC, but which are less than tuition) are not covered? Or are they just referring to their own fees?

Indeed, they cover full tuition. And with respect to what may not be covered, the page "Cost of Attendance" with the bottom table, "Estimated Tuition, Fees, and Expenses", may help: https://med.nyu.edu/education/md-degree/affordability-financ...

Wow, had no idea. Thanks for sharing!

To add on, it was a huge consideration for the applicants that I know of
