So, I'm going to be starting at OHSU this August and after crunching the numbers, I'll be in at around 480k debt (after including interest while I'm in school). It seems borderline insane to take on that debt load. Am I ever going to be able to pay this beast off? I'm having a lot of doubts about going through with all of and worst of all, this is the only school I got accepted to so if I decline this offer I'm SOL. Should I bite the bullet and go for it anyways or should I get out of this while I still can? I've already applied for 3 year HPSP programs (Navy + Army) but I hear those are few and far between so I'm going to assume I won't receive either one.

You should dig the hole deeper by specializing in Ortho at USC afterwards. That way, you can owe 940K of debt.

Or you could specialize in ortho at OHSU at owe 800K.

In all seriousness, will OHSU grant you a deferral?
