Dear Second-Year Medical Students:
The cost of registering for Step 1 ($610) and Step 1 study materials ($750) are included in the 2018-2019 academic year books and supplies portion of the cost of attendance (COA). Please make sure to budget appropriately for this cost in your fall and spring semester financial aid disbursements. Remember, the earlier you register for the exam, the more choice you have in scheduling your exam.
Fall 2018 Step 1 and 2 fee summary
Also, keep in mind that financial aid is disbursed equally between both semesters. If you need to have a portion of the spring semester funding advanced to the fall semester so you can register for Step 1, please contact us for this and we will see if it is feasible so as not to put you in a disadvantage for your spring semester budgeting. Keep in mind that you will be moving in April to your selected campus and as such this expense cannot be adjusted for in the COA. Financial aid for the third year begins in late May following how you will be registered for the summer term. More on this later. As a sneak peak, you can see how current third years made their transition from an academic year to a summer and academic year financial aid process under Phase 2 (third year).
