Hi guys,

I am just wondering about my path for SMP.
Currently, I have two choices.

#1. I can finish the SMP in two years by taking out loan and apply after the first year after finishing 18 credit hours. This would make me take out a loan and pile up even more loan before medical school.

#2. I can finish the SMP in two years, but I would be doing full time job for the two years. However, I would not be paying any tuition for the two years due to school policy. However, I would be only taking 6 credit hours per semester and will not be applying after the first year. Therefore, I would have to wait until the second year to apply to medical school.

So basically, the #1 choice would be taking only 2 years of gap years and taking out loans. #2 choice would be not taking out loan and actually getting paid a salary, but spend 3 years off before medical school.

I would like your advice and input into what you guys think about my situation.

Thanks!
