Hi everyone,
I'm currently an undergraduate student, and my institution lists me as financially independent. I don't live with either of my parents because of their abuse, and they refuse to give me their financial information, so my school doesn't require me to provide it. However, I know most medical schools require parental information if you request need-based aid. Since there is no chance of me getting that information, will I only be able to take out loans? Or would any medical schools provide an exemption based on the circumstances, as my undergraduate institution did? Thanks in advance for your advice.
