I've been accepted to two schools this fall - one is a public OOS and the other is in state but private. Both schools have total cost of attendance (tuition + living expenses etc.) of around $60,000/year. It looks like the maximum Stafford loan money I can expect is a little over $40,000. I have terrible credit and don't think I can get a GradPlus loan or a private loan. I have nobody who will co-sign a loan for me. Due to past medical problems, military is not an option.
Bottom line question: should I be worried about having no way of covering the cost of attendance? Do people get accepted to medical school and find themselves not able to attend for financial reasons?
