Financial Aid at Mount Sinai (FlexMed)

[flexmedapplicant]

I am applying for the FlexMed program at Mount Sinai and if accepted, I'd really want to go. But I've heard some troubling things about how since I got accepted early and won't be applying to other schools, Mt. Sinai wouldn't feel the need to offer me a good financial aid package. I know med school debt is basically a rite of passage, but I'm a first-gen, low-income student. I can only attend college right now because of a full ride, and if I can, I'd like as much financial aid as possible for med school.

So in general, does Mt. Sinai give good financial aid, at least for those who would be considered low income (under $60,000 a year for a family of four)? Is it known to be really bad for FlexMed students? Also, say I got into the program but had to reject it because the financial aid was really bad—is it true that I'd be blacklisted my NY hospitals when I apply for residency?

I think you would be considered for this: Mount Sinai medical school to cap debt at $75K for students with financial need

If you’re competitive for flexmed, I would advise just waiting to apply to compare FA offers unless you’re below the line mentioned above. A bunch of top schools offer full COA nowadays

That statement is meant to inform you that I moved it to the Pre-medical MD forums already
