soon to be a postbac student here..

I went to an out-of-state for undergrad and ended up with more than 70k in debt. I will accumulate even more after 2 yrs postbac studies...

Is it unrealistic that I am trying to go to med school? All my federal AND private loans from undergrad are under my name because my parents didn't help me pay for college. I am not even sure if I will be qualified to get more loan if I get accepted to med school.🙁

Currently, I am in my grace period as I just graduated college. I was thinking about working for several years before I apply but I honestly think med school will never happen if I don't start now.
