So I've been reading about book about the whole pre-med through residency process, and I am going to have no money for approximately 8 years. I was looking at MCAT prep books today in the bookstore, and the cheepest one was $40, and most comprehensive was $80. My estimate is that the MCAT alone is going to cost between $400-$3000 dollars. The actual prep courses are $1000 to $3000. That's jsut the MCAT not including the application fee's I have to pay for each med school I apply to, the travel expenses for interviews, and the therapy once this is all done with.

And this may be why my dad says I can be an expensive child. Oh well, I'l be able to take care of them when they get old I guess. It all balances out right?

Life is expensive.
