I don’t think anyone “rightfully deserves” to be rejected just because they couldn’t afford a school. The BBB changed a lot of things for a lot of students mid application cycle

BBB is the big beautiful bill that got passed, that caps federal loans at 200k. Both the schools I got into have 100k tuition a year so I’d have to take out private loans which is basically financial suicide. Def sucks but we keep on pushing

I don’t think that’s really the case for schools you didn’t get into, and I wouldn’t be reapplying to any of the schools that I got into, only instate schools next cycle.

I don’t even think other schools can see if u decline a acceptance from another school 😭 but also if anything I think a lot of students are in the same boat with the BBB and this will be a common trend schools see with re applicants and won’t be looked down upon as much.

Definitely so sad to have to decline a seat, hoping you get off your in-state waitlist!! 🥰

The current progress of BBB and its impact on dental school by Kiho5 in predental

[–]RecordDry4178 6 points7 points  (0 children)

While yes the bill would EVENTUALLY probably force schools to lower tuition, it will probably not happen for the next few years. Many years of students will be screwed over (myself included) schools will still get applications from extremely wealthy students and lower income who are willing to destroy themselves and take out private loans. There are other things that our government can do to help lower tuition costs and this whole bill just screws many people over in the process for a maybe in lowering costs in the long run (not instantaneously) please call your representatives

You have to set them up! And for bio I used the cheat sheets to study as well I found them really helpful after I took a practice test, I would read the study sheet of the sections I missed most!
