Your signature is insane (RIP bank account) I can see you getting a minimum of like 8 acceptances if you go to the rest of the 20 II. Better negotiate a huge financial package lol
Thanks. Actually been doing all types of cost savings.
1. Fee Assistance Program. (15 free schools, no secondary fees). Family is poor so literally parents can't contribute. If anything I've been helping keep them afloat.
2. Staying hosts or friends for all the interviews that aren't within like a two hour drive. Seriously recommend this.
3a. Using price trackers for flights, buses, etc. to try get best deals. 3b. Travel really light (Personal item, suit, maybe carry-on, done). 3c. Have students loans on income-based repayment (Should've done this since graduating then would have a bit more set aside.)
4. Stacking interviews that are in similar areas so dont have to go repeatedly.
5. I've also stacked up vacations hours at work so still making about the same paychecks biweekly (about $200 less than normally). Running out of them though.
6. Living at home so costs of living is a lot lower (Hate living at home but suck it up because cheap). 6b. Dont have a car so no car payments/insurance payments but trade-off is constantly bumming rides and Ubering. Again, might have saved a lot more if had car still not sure.
7. Then, put all costs on my Chase Sapphire card (had like $5000 dollar limit) (1yr 0APR) plus unlocking points for flights. Gonna a pay down the card to make the remaining interviews. Then spend next few months trying to have everything completely paid or get another card and balance transfer before matriculation.
I'd have to look at my spending because I have used my card for non-med school things to make sure I made the minimum to receive the points. But I think I've done decent for how much traveling I've done.
