Financing Medical School

[ScheringPlough]

I was just wondering how you guys plan on financing your med school education. I know that personally I'm already in debt after going to a $35K/year private liberal arts college....

Every week I've been buying myself a Mass. Millions lottery ticket. If this strategy continues to prove unsuccessful, I'll have to take out loans.

Loans, and the little money my fiance (she'll be my wife by the time I start) can contribute after paying for rent, car, food, etc.

am i the only one who is looking to finance almost all of my medical school expenses on loans?

I'll definitely have some substantial loans. I'll have my pharmD when I start, so maybe one or two days a month I'll be your local Target Pharmacist so I don't have to borrow SO much.

I'll be selling my soul to the Army. The upshot is that I will graduate with zero debt. Oh, and I'll get to shop tax-free at the PX/BX. The downside is that I'll have to do an Army residency and will be an Army doctor for 4 years after residency. May or may not be that much of a downside depending on your viewpoint.

Loans here unless I get into the MSTP which is what I really want but if not then I'll do the MD portion on loans and most of the grad programs I've looked out give you a stipend and free tuition so the PhD part shouldn't add too much to my debt.
