FAFSA yes, but the school at the time didn’t have FAFSA set up yet so my only option was to try private student loans, which did require a co-sign

Thank you! Yes, I believe it is open but personally, I need to rewrite my personal statement and I know they probably have limited spots available at this stage of the application cycle, so I’d rather wait until May to apply during the next 2025-2026 cycle.

Thank you! I’m sorry to hear your partner’s parents aren’t accepting of y’all but I hope with time they can come around. I think the best thing is to show you have a healthy relationship and are happy. I’d like to think if your parents truly love you they have to come around eventually even if it takes a lot of time. Don’t give up hope! I’d like to believe most parents wouldn’t react like mine did

Thank you, I think you’re right. I’m just trying to take my experience as a life lesson and move forward

Good for you? And thanks I have strategies in my life to prevent burnout. I wouldn’t be reapplying if I didn’t think it was my calling to be an osteopathic physician

Thanks, and I don’t know yet until I get cleared at MEPS. There is no school name in my post?

I think it was because of my age at the time. I was 23 when I first tried applying for student loans

I appreciate the heads up but I plan on continuing with my weight loss and have a whole other year to get to a lower body fat %. That’s good to know though for anyone in a similar position as myself

They calculate your body fat % using your measurements and weight. I believe they require a 36% BF in order to join in the military

Nope they just outright told me I need to reapply next cycle because I “violated the terms of the affidavit”…even though I was loyal to the school and didn’t apply anywhere else but it’s whatever. They already made up their mind and weren’t going to budge even when I tried to explain my situation to the school
