Most medical students at Johns Hopkins University will no longer pay tuition thanks to a $1 billion gift from Bloomberg Philanthropies announced Monday.

Starting in the fall, the donation will cover full tuition for medical students from families earning less than $300,000. Living expenses and fees will be covered for students from families who earn up to $175,000.

    Okay I hear you. I guess I was thinking of drs who end up making quarter mill usd 5-7 years after school. That kind of income isn’t guaranteed in any other profession, not even software engineering or law
