I crunched the numbers and I don't make enough money to apply in summer 2021 even though I'll technically be ready at that point. I am planning to use my federal financial aid to go to medical assistant school at my local CC the spring semester after I graduate (December 2021 grad). I'm not eligible for FAP due to parents' finances even though I'm older and have independent tax filing status, but that's another rant for another day.
I will graduate with my CMA in May of 2022 and am hoping to apply to MD and DO programs in June of 2022. Hopefully, so long as I can find a job, that's also the time I will start working as a CMA.
My savings should cover the primary fee for June. It's the secondary fees and interview travel expenses that are the problem.
I am going to use the CMA job to pay for secondary fees in summer 2022. When do secondaries need to be turned in? I probably will be relatively slow-going in turning secondaries in because of paying the fees. Is Labor Day reasonable? I could have them all in by Labor Day assuming medical schools send them to people not long after primary verification.
Thanks!
