Nine Unbelievable Facts About Top US Universities The best universities in the US have plenty of strange, bizarre and interesting elements that most students don’t know about. Here are some of our favorites.

In 2017, the median debt for graduates in American medical schools was $192,000. This absurd amount of money created a huge debt burden on young students who aspire to become physicians. As a result, students, carrying heavy debt straight out of medical schools, are inclined to pursue top-paying specialties in the field of medicine instead of other much needed specialties that are not as highly paid: family medicine, pediatrics, and research. In response to such crisis, New York University School of Medicine recently announced that they will be covering 100% of the tuition for all its students.

2017 年，美國醫學院畢業生的中位數債務為 192,000 美元。
這種荒謬的金錢給渴望成為醫生的年輕人造成了巨大的債務負擔。因此,從醫學院承擔沉重債務的學生傾向於從事醫學領域的高薪專科而不是其他相較缺的低薪的專科：家庭醫學，兒科和研究。為了應對這種危機，紐約大學醫學院最近宣布，他們將承擔所有學生的學費。點擊網站，了解更多紐約大學醫學院如何以及為什麼要為所有學生支付學費。

Surprise Gift: Free Tuition for All N.Y.U. Medical Students A plan will cover the $55,000 annual tuition for every current and future New York University School of Medicine student, regardless of financial need.

More and more colleges are dropping their SAT/ACT essay requirements as schools and education experts conclude that these essays are not helpful to them when evaluating a student's written communication capabilities.

With half of the high school student averaging A’s on their GPA throughout high school, the selection process for top tiered colleges has never been as competitive as it is now. Both GPA and standardized testing such as the ACT and SAT are the measurements of a student’s well being, yet colleges are still facing the choice of choosing the right fit for the right person due to a prolific amount of strong candidates. With that said, the article below shows the importance of personal statements and other influential factors, which parents and students usually don't realize can be the ultimate deciding factors.

平均現在一半的高中生的成績都屬於A，還有他們的 SAT 跟 ACT 都相當高。由於這個原因大學會塞選最特別與最有才華的學生。因為這樣學生需要告訴學校他們的特點與他們的優秀跟才華。所以現在不只是 GPA 與 SAT 要高，學生的申請書跟作文都需要告訴學校他們的特點還有為什麼這所學校能幫助你成長跟成功。

The Two Most Important College-Admissions Criteria Now Mean Less When so many students have outstanding grades and test scores, schools have to get creative about triaging applicants.
