this is prob gonna sound v dumb, but forgive me as I know nothing regarding financial aid or loans or $$$ in general...
does each school offer you different amount of financial aid or is it one loan amount from the government (FAFSA)? I don't even know if that question makes sense. #clueless
Can someone send me a link to financial aid forums that have helped them with basic Q's like this? Thanks in advance
FAFSA gives you your loan amount, work study, and any grants (e.g. Pell). Your FAFSA 'outcome' does not change from school to school unless your estimated family contribution changes. But since tuition is generally high across the board, your EFC should not change (dramatically).
Any aid you receive from a particular medical school, whether it be merit or need-based (more common), will, of course, differ.

I think the general rule is for medical school you will be able to borrow the full amount up to the cost of attendance regardless of the information on your fafsa. Fafsa would help in the determination of need based money the school would award you. Different schools have different pools of money to allocate to incominng classes and may do so based on merit or need based.
@MeltingIceCube @libertyyne thank youuuuu so much for the speedy response
by this "aid from a particular medical school", you mean scholarship...yes?

Stopping by to say hi, as I'm also going to be in the class of 2021. And the best halal cart in NYC is the one closest to your drunk body after a late night of drinking. (Extra spicy sauce to wake me up plz)
Honest question: when you order extra spicy, is it actually extra spicy? I had a Lebanese dude that I started going to exclusively because he made the hottest sandwiches around. I'm talking habaneros pureed into a sauce and just slathered onto the thing. Closest I can get anywhere else is just some extra pepperoncinis
Extra spicy is spicy for normal american palate, for me and my culture its mild but its enough to slap some of the drunkenness out of you.. Now that I am thinking about it I have never had halal food sober :/
Yeah I'm Mexican so spicy for me is like "in about 2 hours you're really going to want to be next to a restroom." I thought I had found a safe haven in Thai food but for some reason restaurants think I'm kidding when I tell them "10 stars" out of 5 or if I say "whatever the spiciest you've ever made anything, do that and then add two stars"
pooping after eating super spicy food is the best!! its like a reward for being so bad ass ! ha ha ha. I remembered when I went to a halal guy after a night ou and told him to fill it with his extra spicy sauce and he looked at me like im a mad man. I ate a little and then put the food down to use the bathroom (because I tend to do that alot when I'm intoxicated) . I come back and noticed one of my friends in tears because they stole some of my food without asking and didnt realize how hot it was. It was pretty mild for me but that ended her night out LOLZ
Recipe?
Exactly, and this aid can either be merit-based or need-based (need is much more common).
And @libertyyne hit the nail on the head.
I'll PM you tmw 🙂 you're in NY right? So you have access to all the international markets for ingredients

You can buy one computer up to 3k. But you will have to wait for the loan money to come through.
OMG congratssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!

lol, I think it would be a disgrace to change it now...or ever
Good god fam... You might as well just lug a plasma TV and a mac mini to lecture
Ironically I own a Plasma TV, and my laptop currently has mac installed on it. Such a mind reader!
When I got my titer drawn, my doc told me that happened to her and to many of her colleagues so it's not uncommon. Waiting for my results to come back next week.

My hep b came back as not immune and I have to do the 6 month vaccine series. I told my school and they said as long as I send them the info that I started the vaccine process, they're cool with it. Im pretty sure your school will say the same. ( look up past threads on SDN about this topic for more reassurance)
Yea that's confusing to follow for me as well. Call them up or preferably email them ( that way they can't say they never said it). best of luck
Good luck! Hopefully yours comes back normal and you don't have to deal with all of this haha
Sorry but this immunization stuff is stressful. I think schools/AAMC should send out a notice in like December telling us to get this done ASAP. I'm barely getting titers and everything else done this friday, and it's only because I'm on SDN and all of you guys are such smart cookies and have mentioned it. None of my schools that have admitted me have even mentioned the word immunization. #annoyedaf
I'm in the same boat as you. Haven't heard anything from my schools about this

I miss your Creighton avatar already 🙁 RIP Creighton Jesus
Same here. I even emailed my current top choice and all they said was to wait until March for more vaccination info 😕
I'll be getting the new MacBook Pro, but waiting until the summer when the rumor is that they will be updating the processor. We will see.
That being said, I've always been an Apple user. However, I would caution against anyone going fully iOS. I don't think an iPad will give you everything you need (at this point) and you will probably still need a true laptop.

Don't hold your breath... I'm going for Voyager crashed into planet XI
I guess we were both wrong hahaha. Announcement is still cool!
My Hep B titer came back low as well. I will be getting a booster shot on Monday and then I have to wait 6 weeks to get another titer done. I'm hoping that is all I'll need!
