from these interviews...

Sigh,

234 dollars for a flight to Chicago
80 bucks for a hotel =
at least 314 dollars for a place I'm not even going to stay for more then 20 hours...
 
Yup. They've been running me about $500 a pop on average. I just got waitlisted at the school that was the most expensive for me to interview at too...grrr....
 
ive been poor man....cant remember when it all started...+pity+
 
Only since starting medical school and living on financial aid. I worked full time up through undergrad so this is my first experience with school debt. It freaked me out at first......but you get used to PB&J sandwiches.
 
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
Luke 6:38

Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this, "Says the Lord Almighty," and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.
Malachi 3:10
 
my plan for when i need to stay overnight on interviews: find people who live in the area and ask to stay the night. i.e.- got a friend of a friend who lives in chicago?? time to get chummy.
 
At least you are all poor, I have to save up to be poor.

Every morning I eat my cereal with a fork so I can save the milk for the next day....this way one bowl of milk lasts me for about a week.
By saturday, the milk starts to cuddle so I save it and pray it turns into yogurt or cottage cheese so I can take it work for snack.

Damn, I thought I was hit hard by all these admission costs. You get the cake (if there was one, I'd give it to you)!
 
I'm so poor I ate my bible.
 
Whats worse is that I am a full time student and I can't find a part time job. So I am just constantly losing money. I have no income. Every once in a while my parents will be nice and send me $40, which I have to make last for at least a month.
 
Yeah, heard that. That's been my situation too, more or less. It's really hard coming up with the bucks for an interview when you're having a hard time scraping up enough money for food, especially when you live a long way from all the places you're interviewing.

Go to jesus.com and post this stuff (that's a nice "S"-word, instead of what I really wanted to say!), or send PM to the person at whom it is directed.
 
Poor? Now??? I thought so at my pre-med point in life......but just wait til MS4. I was getting melancholy the week before MS graduation, and sat down to figure out all of my IOUs and loans. Omigawd! :wow:
 
OMG! I went to jesus.com and redirects to a church in California that does same sex marriages!

LOL! I bet some die hard southern baptists are not going to be happy about that!

What's that about red? Why can't she post that?
 
Typical exchange on NYC subway........

Random panhandler: "Hey brotha, can you spare me something, anything? I havent eaten in days......"

DW, hanging head in shame: "Dude......I'm a medical student"

Panhandler, weeping: "Damn!!! Sorry!!! God have mercy on your soul" (panhandler hands me his empty dunkin donuts coffee cup filled with change) "Go fix yourself up boy!".

i'm broke as a joke man :scared:

i think the post is disrespectful. No need to be saying stuff like that. (and i'm not even christian)
 
Lighten up, yo. God has a great sense of humor.🙂

If it were really vicious, they may be hit by a bus or experience bone cancer or something to that effect.:meanie:

and I'm a christian

You are right.....she can post wherever she wants. I just hate to see these jesus-freak posts on a non-religious, normal web sites like SDN.

When you preach to those who are not of your faith, it's called proselytizing; not a very respectful thing to do.
 
Whatever happend to that free speech ****?😕

Someone says something you don't like and you guys grab your torches - REEEELLLLLLAAAAAAXXXXX

It's all in good fun.

Who said she was preaching? She posted something...how do you know the OP is not the same faith? I don't get it.

I think she is free to post wa'eva just like Red is also free to post his statement.....aarghhhhhhhhhhhhh what's the point. Everyone is free to post whatever! I QUIT.

I will let OP speak for themself, but vaguely remember a reference to not being "the same faith" on another thread.
 
OK, I just realized how ridiculous this dialogue is. I'm out.

That is so funny! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: 👍

do you actually think the people commenting in these forums are normal?? hahahaha. i hope that you are not that blind. anyway, my comment was not written solely for the purpose for turning non-believers to the Lord. it was meant to address the topic at hand. the verses that i wrote have worked everytime for myself and others that i know. they are literally time-proven techniques to stay in the money. seriously.

as a md student you will get around 1000 a month in exchange for serving your country
 
I have no idea how people in college can afford this. I have a full time job, having graduated >3 years ago, and my wife's income to suplement mine. Even so I have spent every spare penny I had, and a few that I didn't have.
Money's only value is how you spend it though, and it is hard to imagine a better use.
 
"Money's only value is how you spend it though, and it is hard to imagine a better use."

True that. Some people invest in better things than others. After reading these posts, it's nice to know that the reality of medical school isn't all glamour. I've been an engineer for 3 years and have saved up enough to pay for school...and though I saved it, I feel as if it was a wise investment.
