Hi Everyone!-
For those of you with families, is there enough financial aid available for me to do med school and not have my wife work outside the home? I realize that there are large amounts of financial aid "available", however it is based on what your school determines to be your estimated cost of attendance. Have you found that your estimated cost of attendance is enough for your family to live? All the schools I have contacted have told me "go ahead and apply then we will figure things out." I am hoping to find out some general situations from you all and then go from there instead of going through all the steps just to learn that I can't even afford to attend. Do you know what I mean? I appreciate any advice you could give me. I have been the one working and doing school thus far, but I know I can't work during med school. Thank you very much!
