debt

Reposted this to a better location.

Hi All, Firstly I just want to say I read the "what was your backup plan" and "success stories" thread and am in awe of so many in this non trads section. I'd like to write an honest post and elicit some feedback. I graduated from a well regarded ugrad with a very sub 3.0 GPA, D in 1 science...

Hi everyone! I was recently accepted to an unaccredited program that will cost $50,000 and an accredited program that will cost $85,000. I am not sure which school to attend :oops: I was hoping you guys could tell me what you would do if you were in my position. I have lots of school loans from...

I have loans from 4 years of undergrad, and I'm applying to pharmacy school this coming cycle. I calculated the cost of tuition, fees, and living expenses for my top choices. My total loans will be around $200k once I'm done with everything. The total amount will be somewhere between $150k-$200k...

Hello, This past cycle, I was accepted to both Northwestern and UHawaii Medical School (I am a hawaii resident). While this may seem like an obvious choice for most, I was conflicted between the two because I really wanted to go home after having spent the past 4 years away for undergraduate...

I've put a tremendous amount of effort into where I am now, where I'll be applying to ~5 schools in July for the 2017 cycle. As a non-traditional student, I had to go back to take post-grad work, juggling multiple jobs and paying out of pocket for prereqs. maintaining a 3.7 gpa and getting solid...

Hey everyone, new to this forum. I'm a pharmacy technician at a compounding pharmacy, I've been there for the past three years now. I'm 29 years old from South Florida and I've made up my mind and I want to become a pharmacist. Problem is I get a lot of conflicting information from different...

Hi guys, So I'm an incoming M1 this fall. Now that the summer is underway I was looking at options to pay for medical schools. I basically got no financial aid and my parents will be helping me pay for a part of medical school (not a significant chunk though). I was wondering what...

Hi and thanks for reading this! I've narrowed my school list down to 2 great options. Given where I live, scholarships, etc, option 1 will cost around $100k less than option 2. Option 2 is in an amazing environment and has loads of opportunities that will challenge me, option 1 feels all-around...

Hello. I've been a long time lurker on sdn, but this is my first thread because I need some advice from someone who has been in a similar situation. I'm trying to decide between going to Touro-NV and Lecom-B. The closest threads I found to my question is the Nova vs Lecom-B thread. My...

I'm currently a high school senior with a couple of options for college. My first option is Cornell, but with an EFC of ~$20k per year. The other option is a full ride to my state school (will not name for anonymity, but it is ranked Tier 2 by USNWR). I know the answer is obvious when strictly...

At this point I am heavily considering 2 schools. School A is in my home state and it would be very inexpensive to attend. School B is in a major city (which would be good for clinical experience, and they're known to be good for the type of specialty I'm considering right now) but their...

Hi, this is my second question here, but i wanted to hear some of the different perspectives on this. I'm friends with this kid who goes to my church and he is also majoring in biomedical sciences. I noticed his older brother was gone for a while and asked him what happened, he said his older...

I'm a high school senior looking for where to spend my next 4 years, and now I'm not sure where to go. At first I considered doing the Early Entry Program at Mississippi State and be fine with the student debt (because pre-acceptance to vet school is hard to get). After I got rejected, I now...

I am aware of the sentiment surrounding this topic. I was accepted to one OOS school and denied at my state school. I am very thankful for my acceptance and liked this school when I interviewed. I am going forward with everything to attend in the fall, but here are the stress inducing things...

Hi everyone, just want to let you all know about my blog White Coat Money http://www.whitecoatmoney.com/ It's a personal finance blog where we focus on topics relevant to the young medical professional. Thanks, WCM

I'm currently in the process of trimming down my waitlists, and a few come down solely to potential financial aid. Prospective Financial Sitch: Likely going to Northwestern, definitely can see myself there $10k/yr grant guaranteed for 4 years Estimating my debt at around $220k-$240k, which is...

After reading this thread (Link) and the posts by (@Incis0r, @sgv), I feel as though I should probably keep taking shots at my IS school (UAB) as well as other state schools and just leaving privates off completely due to costs. I'm about to finish undergrad and do a SMP that will put me ~25K in...

Ok so I'm a student currently at FAU in my junior year, and we have a class called intro to excercise health promotion. The teacher often brings in guest speakers to discuss different career paths one can take the the excercise science and health promotion degree (which I am going for). We...

I realize debt it pretty vastly covered, however I was hoping some of could offer me some general advice in terms of choosing which school to attend for my DPT. I was accepted to several good schools, but ultimately it has came down to University of Pittsburgh and South Carolina. I am an...

Hey Everyone, I am narrowing my acceptances down to Georgetown and UMass and trying to decide between the two. The main concern is cost. Georgetown Pros: -International / Global Health (I have a MPH in International Health) -Diverse population (globally since DC / underserved) -Good location (...

I've had the fortune of being accepted to 3 US schools in good standing and at first I was the happiest person ever and now I'm panicking about the costs, I had a scholarship at a state school for undergrad and never had any debt. I've been living a year out of school with little expenses and...

Hi there, So I took out some loans for undergraduate (around $12k) that I could hypothetically pay back now. However, I will be matriculating this year and have a question regarding financial aid. Do financial aid offices take into account my undergraduate debt in my financial aid package...

hi, i am considering optometry school. if i go i would go to SUNY optometry and pay instate tuition, and potentially live at home to save more money. also, i am very fortunate that my parents have been saving money in a college fund and therefore i will not be in much debt after i graduate...

Hi everyone, I'm usually a lurker, but I wanted some opinions and ideas. In applying to veterinary school, I'm most worried about the cost of financing a veterinary education. In some cases, the numbers are just large and astronomically scary. This gets a little scarier to me when you see debt...

I am currently in LECOM's post bacc program and doing very well, so chances are I will have a spot there for me (though I'm not sure what pathway) when I finish the program. I have been fortunate enough to receive other acceptances, however, my favorite being KCU. So far, LECOM is ok. I don't...

So - I'd like to begin by first saying that this is a throwaway, because I don't really feel like having any of you discover who I am - (never underestimate the power of the internet. Dentistry is a very “front” facing profession. Your mug will be plastered on the website of whatever office you...

Whats up community? I'm a senior undergrad and applied this cycle. I live in Puerto Rico and have a good chance of getting into the state school which as I understand it is one of the cheapest in the US. Estimated total debt is 115-130k. I'm looking into threads about the HPSP scholarships and...
