It says on the financial aid page that students who submit the FAFSA will have access to federal loans such as Direct and direct PLUS provided by the DOE. Not sure if thats complete confirmation but it definitely seems like federal loans will be available
Nope! Make sure you resubmitted your application. You have to check all those boxes and then it has assigned them officially.
lmao you not wrong
From what I can see its 16 continuous months. Hard to go by the M1-M4 schedule as they are 3+1
Yeah, I'm not sure. It doesn't seem like it since there's little time to waste since you can enter residency (or whatever you want to do) instead of the fourth year of medical school.
Wow thank you for this!
With application just opening up, I'm not sure if this timeline shifts
My friend is a residency director and said the 4th year research time is very good if you want to match into competitive fields because most require a research year to be taken anyways which would be a year off of a regular program. Also 1 less year of debt
Not by a live person - I was going from the page of the website with a checklist for what constitutes a Completed Application. As @buckoh24 points out, there is mention of a secondary on a different page. I (and no doubt others) have an email in to the school asking whether or not there's a secondary, and will post what I hear back.
I would assume so, but if you check directly with the school, I'd be curious to hear it from the horse's mouth. I was going off of their website.
If I recall correctly, I saw mention of federal unsubsidized loans, meaning that the student will pay the interest that accrues before payback starts. Still can be better than private loans though, if the interest rates are lower and/or fixed. If you google for "federal loans vs. private loans" you should get to a page sponsored by the feds with a summary chart of the differences between fed and private loans. My understanding is that students aren't eligible for federal subsidized loans until the school is two years from this initial accreditation milestone.
It's THEIR medical school. I think it will probably be more of a problem for those other schools.
its not just one hospital by the way, Hackensack Meridian is a major health system in NJ
I feel like the curriculum is similar to Duke with the 3 years+1 research year (or whatever you wanna do) but also similar to the GT (another religious school) where they really focus on the humanistic side of medicine and how you see patients evolve overtime and the importance of a meaningful patient provider relationship. I really like how they are integrating both and giving people freedom to choose their own path for 4th year.
Duke does something similar. 1 year pre clinical, 1 year clinical, 1 year research, 1 year advanced clinical. They also do STEP after clinical and it seems like students like it cuz they get hands on and visual examples of the diseases which can help with retention during dedicated. It sounds weird cuz STEP 1 is mostly preclinical and you end up taking STEP 2 about 3 months after with setons schedule.

Yeah, I think they're around 16 hospitals total.
Who is to say they won't?
I'd say the same. If there really is no secondary, then toward the higher end.
That page appears to be for the university in general. I'm pretty sure that med students are not eligable for subsidized loans, though, until the school is accredited, as with CUSM, Nova, etc., thus the two-year wait at new schools.
Fair point. I guess we’ll learn more if any of us get an interview maybe that person can post the financial aid info
The application recently opened.
Yep, I've emailed asking for clarification on the secondary, and someone else on this thread emailed about updates. You could scoop us both if you were willing to call them. 🙂
Excellent, I figured someone would have emailed them already. If they haven't replied to anyone by early afternoon tomorrow, I can take one for the team and call them, haha.
