I know people whose gpas were 3.9+ during undergrad but they spent $40k doing this Special Masters while applying to medical schools.
I initially thought they were stupid for doing this but now they were smart and they were right. They were top in the class and got matched into Ophthalmology despite going to midtier medical schools. Meanwhile, most people who had 3.9s as well during their undergrads but saved money ended up in primary care residencies and are now competing with nurse practitioners.
In the future, this trend will be more prevalent. Wealthier people will do better in health professional schools cause they can afford this level of preparation. And of course they will not take out school loans as much as others either.
