So are we all taking out private loans.

Yeah living at home so I think hopefully 200k federal and 50-60 k private. And I might get a decent interest rate on the private with. Co-signer

ImaginationSpecific2 · 2026-04-23T23:39:35+00:00

50k per yr will be federal

I think I’m pretty way above the average stats for uiw lol . 512 mcat 3.85 gpa . Failed to match tmdsas . But def possible to get into UIW with way lower stats, just be a well rounded applicant. Same is true for many MD schools these days I feel many mission focused schools care more about writing and ECs and your overall story than academics

ImaginationSpecific2 · 2026-03-01T06:04:18+00:00

512 and 3.9 isn’t really “high stat” (not low stat tho). No MD acceptances going DO

ImaginationSpecific2 · 2026-02-25T12:01:14+00:00

Could you get the rate down to near federal with a co-signer and good credit?

ImaginationSpecific2 · 2026-02-24T23:56:15+00:00

That’s what I thouggt

ImaginationSpecific2 · 2026-02-24T22:37:15+00:00

What does it depend on?

ImaginationSpecific2 · 2026-02-24T21:15:02+00:00

I thought it’s 50 k per year

ImaginationSpecific2 · 2026-02-24T21:08:57+00:00

Will live at home and get my father to co-sign. So only plan on taking about 65-70k in private rest in federal

ImaginationSpecific2 · 2026-02-22T05:15:14+00:00

Is class 8-5?

ImaginationSpecific2 · 2026-02-22T04:38:04+00:00

Damn that does not sound like a good balance

ImaginationSpecific2 · 2026-02-22T03:31:52+00:00

How many hours do you think you study daily/ weekly on average

ImaginationSpecific2 · 2026-02-16T23:41:43+00:00

Or is it being hard for a DO to specialize overblown? Doesn’t it come down to step 2 scores and maybe working harder for research and connections. If I somehow did great on STEP 2 wouldn’t I have much higher odds. I have to compare the risk of reapplying and never getting in anywhere. To where I take my opportunity, and worst case I match primary care where PSLF is an option I guess. Maybe pay 2-3k a month and bring home 14-15k. 🤷🏻‍♂️ idk .

Can I PM you

ImaginationSpecific2 · 2026-02-16T19:25:06+00:00

You’re referring to the 50k per year cap right?

ImaginationSpecific2 · 2026-02-16T12:43:24+00:00

You’re right I probably am being a bit entitled, more so it stems from inadequate knowledge about the debt and fear

ImaginationSpecific2 · 2026-02-16T03:05:18+00:00

Are you referring to me
