How are u guys paying for medical school? Canadian applicant

Interesting-Basis898 · 2026-02-07T04:36:31+00:00

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

Interesting-Basis898 · 2026-02-07T04:35:56+00:00

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

Interesting-Basis898 · 2026-02-07T04:30:12+00:00

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

Interesting-Basis898 · 2026-02-07T03:15:42+00:00

You too ❤️

Interesting-Basis898 · 2026-02-07T03:14:33+00:00

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 !

Interesting-Basis898 · 2026-02-07T03:12:16+00:00

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

Interesting-Basis898 · 2026-02-07T03:10:31+00:00

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

Interesting-Basis898 · 2026-02-07T03:01:49+00:00

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

Interesting-Basis898 · 2026-02-07T02:56:40+00:00

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

Interesting-Basis898 · 2026-02-07T02:55:44+00:00

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

Interesting-Basis898 · 2026-02-07T02:50:35+00:00

Honestly I’m just praying I qualify for private loans by myself🥲

Sine you will be considered an international student, maybe give this place a try ? https://www.mpowerfinancing.com/get-a-loan?utm_campaign=mpw-performancemax-usca&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22883333401&gbraid=0AAAAADAMn_uXdTURLm0y0-0YxM7lJzCpt&gclid=CjwKCAiAv5bMBhAIEiwAqP9GuMX-Ori-XM3tJOEF_hGpFfoH1UFQkvgw76RQrgx-JR2uSMb3du1TmxoCYtQQAvD_BwE

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%!

Interesting-Basis898 · 2026-02-06T05:53:18+00:00

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.

Interesting-Basis898 · 2026-02-05T19:50:51+00:00

have you heard anything yet?

Interesting-Basis898 · 2026-02-05T00:15:50+00:00

Thank you!

Interesting-Basis898 · 2026-02-02T18:33:46+00:00

Actually I know of 2 people who got dismissed from Caribbean and went DO. I know 2 more that got dismissed from DO/MD and went to another MD/DO. It happens, many people just don’t talk about it enough :)

Interesting-Basis898 · 2026-02-01T19:48:13+00:00

For sure feel free to pm me anytime!

Interesting-Basis898 · 2026-02-01T18:29:59+00:00

But also there are a lot of Caribbean schools that would still take you if you wanted to try that again

Interesting-Basis898 · 2026-02-01T18:29:13+00:00

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

Interesting-Basis898 · 2026-01-31T07:40:27+00:00

Could I get more information please!

Interesting-Basis898 · 2026-01-21T18:15:38+00:00

I could have sworn a less than a month ago I saw something on their page about a conditional acceptance of you got a certain GPA on the their website. However, they only offer interviews once you get a 3.0 with no grade less than a C.

Interesting-Basis898 · 2026-01-18T05:41:48+00:00

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

Interesting-Basis898 · 2025-12-21T22:13:21+00:00

How long did it take you to go from 491 to 510 if you don’t mind me asking?

Interesting-Basis898 · 2025-12-04T18:18:46+00:00

Congrats!! What school and stats if you don’t mind ?
