I was just on the the pre-allo forum and I'm totally fired up, pissed off, and outraged to hear that medical schools can AND WILL reject you based on a bad credit report.
I decided to post this on the non-trad forum since it would seem more likely that others that are "older" may have a similar problem with their credit. I have a bankrupcty and have never heard of my credit being an issue with getting into medical school. Does anyone else have poor credit and still got into medical school?
It enrages me that this is the first I've heard of it. Shouldn't medical schools have to list ALL their criteria for matriculation? I've been pulling out student loans, got my car financed, have credits cards, AND have purchased a house since my bankrupcty. Why the hell can't I get into medical school?!!
FYI: I went bankrupt in 1998. It will stay on my credit until next spring . . . plenty of time for med schools to see it.
