这段话（T20 医学院网站）明确指明医学院学费与父母有关：

The decision to attend a high-cost private medical school should involve the entire family.  For purposes of the schools' need based funds (available for the MD program only) the student is not viewed as financially independent of parents. Individual students (and spouses, if married) and their parents have the primary responsibility for financing the cost of a medical education at XXXX.  Parental information will be used to determine grant eligibility each year of enrollment.   XXXX looks at both natural parents for purposes of determining XXXX-based financial aid for a student with divorced or separated parents.
