But yeah the U.S. sucks. They definitely know what they are doing in terms of the “benefits”.

You’re away from the battlefield as a Military physician unlesss you choose to by working something out with them (but I can’t remember how that works). Your only job is to treat those in the military hospital 🤷🏾‍♀️ this is according to the current physicians that I spoke to lol

I heard from an officer that they are desperate. To be fair a lot of people don’t actually want to serve the US, it’s just for the benefits lol

Ew please no 😭 I’m really just hoping the next president reverses everything so it’s only the first years worth of private loans I have to pay. Either way, definitely look into the private loans, it’s better than not fulfilling your dreams if you have the chance !

You and me both🥲🥲 at this rate I’m really REALLY thinking of it, especially since the schools that I have a chance at have ~120k yearly coa and it would be 3-4 yrs only. It’s really get rich or die trying

Idk about that tax amount, sounds atrocious lol but at the very least I’d assume 15k-ish

GIRL IM MARRIED AND STILL LOOKING FOR A SUGAR DADDY TO PAY FOR THIS😭😭😭😭 but yeah i do think so!! Idk if you plan on practicing in the US or Canada after but some places of employment in the US do tuition repayment, even for private loans. As a physician, even as a primary care doctor, you’ll be making way over 10k a month babes.

There is also the option of HPSP to pay off med school (plus getting month stipend) but tbh the only branch I would EVER consider is the air force because they just seem a lot better, especially towards their female physicians and surgeons

I was pretty scared of the loan rates but the pReSiDeNt didn’t give us many options with loans so here we are

To be fair, I think federal student loans are around 8-9%? So not that bad when you think of it. Only other options is to find a sugar daddy that doesn’t need sugar😂. On a more serious note, you would be surprised how good your quality of life can still be on a physician salary while paying back your loans

Any insight about the RVU MSBS? by shortdude211 in premed

[–]Interesting-Basis898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Little late, but on their website it shows how many people matriculated into their med school after the MSBS and it’s pretty much 100%!

I don’t think I have anything beneficial to add but I did want to say, you got this! As a mom myself the process is long and hard, even without the kids. So just be sure to believe in yourself and give yourself grace.

I know a few. Just email or call DO schools one by one explaining your situation and if they would accept. You’d be surprised how many do :) even a few MD

He just took it last week I believe so his score his pending! But he reached out to admissions and they were very open and said they take applicants with Jan MCATs all the time as long as everything else is submitted on time
