Top medical schools in Florida are University of Miami’s Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine, University of South Florida College of Medicine, University of Florida College of Medicine and Florida State University College of Medicine. These are very competitive schools. They are also very selective because they have very few enrolment spots. Also, their cost can be a barrier to people looking to apply.
Florida State has a yearly out-of-state tuition rate of $60, 546.00. On the other hand, University of Miami’s Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine only asks for $39, 659 per year. It is still a lot of money but this is a nice range to see from where you stand. Just keep in mind that cheaper schools have more competition in store for you.
