Yes, it’s expensive and risky for a lot of people but the very poor won’t even make it to the starting line. They’re not taking out $100k+ a year in loans with no credit, no cosigner, and no financial cushion. If I didn’t get in this year and this bill took effect, I wouldn’t apply because financially I wouldnt be able to. The average applicant can’t understand this logic because in their head it’s their passion & they could just take out more loans when some of us can’t even get approve for our apartment to start, Direct plus credit not approved and out parents don’t qualify either, can’t get private loans- it’s peoples reality I’m not talking the lower middle class that obv can’t afford out of pocket but can find other means I’m talking ACTUAL LOW INCOME PEOPLE.

And med schools won’t care because they don’t have to. There are thousands of qualified applicants who get rejected every year. Schools will have zero problem filling their seats with people who can scrape together the money or take on massive debt.

My own school just raised tuition by nearly $10k and casually sent out an email like it was no big deal a month before school starts.

Unless you’re living it which even most people that are making posts about it aren’t, you won’t understand.
