For New Jersey residents, tuition will be $32,860 a year, plus $1,945 to $3,520 in fees. Out-of-state students will pay $52,680 a year, plus fees.

New Jersey ranks 33rd in the nation in medical school graduates, Cooper officials said. This year, fewer than half of New Jersey residents who applied to medical school were accepted and fewer than 20 percent scored seats at medical schools within the state, according to the American Association of Medical Colleges

I think New Jersey should raise their tuition even more and tax the cr#p out of the doctors in the state to make it fair for those that are paying their wages. yeah...that’s the ticket.

...fewer than 20 percent scored seats at medical schools within the state...

I don't know how that compares with other states but if 80+ percent are originally from out of state I expect a good chunk of them won't stay. Taxes are likely a factor but not the whole story. Few people select their college based on where they plan to live afterwards.

If practicing doctors who've decided to work in NJ and have established practices are now fleeing in greater numbers then that is more likely attributable to a bad business climate.
