Well, I'm actually hoping to get a scholarship. Either HPSP, or something UNC-specific. And private loans aren't THAT bad with a good credit score and the right bank.I'm pretty sure the FAFSA is if you plan on taking any federal loans at all. So unless you plan on paying 100% for med school (either out-of-pocket or with private loans [don't do take private loans]) then you should do the FAFSA. It only takes like 10 minutes.
My question was, will UNC use the FAFSA when deciding things like merit scholarships or specific program scholarships? And will they just not consider me for that stuff if I don't have my FAFSA filled out?
