I am currently a pre-pharm student, but my academic advisor has advised I look into med school several times. I am currently at a 3.8 with lots of extra curriculars, volunteering, one of several pre-health club student leaders, and working as a pharmacy tech. I am enjoying what I am doing and learning, but exploring career options is never a bad idea.
I want to ask a question that I haven't found an answer to in the forums, but can be applied to both pre-med and pre-pharm students. How do you decide on the amount of loans to take out for tuition and fees, and how much do you plan on spending on food (outside of meal plan)/clothes/phone etc. basically anything "extra" unrelated to learning.
Lets say tuition and fees come out to $50k/year. What extra amount of loans do you take out to spend at your leisure? How do you manage this money? Do you consider loan repayment at the time you take out the loans?
