NYU Makes Tuition Free for All Medical Students
I'll probably be downvoted on a forum like this, but I worry about the most successful universities using their funds to subsidize those who would be fine without it.  I was actually made aware of this by a wealthy Stanford alumni which has a fairly broad program for undergraduate tuition assistance.  Graduates of mid/low tier universities seem more and more likely to have to compete with better credentialed people with lower debt.<p>Don't get me wrong, this is fantastic on an atomic level, and the levels of debt required to get an MD these days is insane (have a lot of family in the field).  Also, it's not like this is a unique structural disadvantage, just a new one.
