poor

I wanted to know do you guys know if med schools are willing to overlook volunteering and other extracurriculars due to poverty? I find it a bit difficult to volunteer due to it costing me so much in gas money to do something for free on a regular basis. I often hear people say that med...

Hi, I'm studying at AUB and graduating this spring I was originally a nursing student but my parents and surrounding pressured me to do something (bigger) since I got high grades in high school. I also hated the idea that I will be just a nurse giving IV's and meds for my whole life(too basic)...

As my matriculation date approaches, I am beginning to think I'm "too poor" for medical school. These are merely observations, and I'll certainly still be attending, but I can't help but feel disadvantaged in many ways. Caveat: I'm low-income and first-generation, taking out the maximum cost...

Hi, So I graduated medical school and now work as a clinical trial coordinator making $40K. I have saved up 30k. I am one year into the pslf program (9 to go) and owe $190000. Should I repay some of my loans or wait 9 years (at a bad job) for loans to be forgiven?

Apologies for what looks like double-posting but it's two separate issues. I'm in my last semester of post-bacc classes and have my MCAT scheduled and am all set to apply and am not sure I will be thrilled with months and months of absolute silence that follows, so I'm just going to list pros...

hi im a premed. so heres the thing, everyone since the beginning of my life hates me and i was always bullied. I have a terrible relationship with my parents. my dad doesnt like me and my mom annoyed the crap out of me during my entire childhood. every interview (med school or job) has resulted...

There is a specific question in a secondary I am working on that asks me to explain a C+ or lower in any prereq or science courses. I have two C+s and two Cs in my five years of undergrad, all are science courses but none are prereqs. Truthfully, they were just hard courses and I didn't feel...
