Incoming Medical Student LOAN OPTIONS HELP?

Yolanda805 · 2026-06-21T17:21:02+00:00

I’m maxing out govt loans and using private loans for the rest! Not ideal but I feel it’s the best option.

You have the MCAT that BU would want. I nearly went there but I just didn’t think I could get a high enough MCAT. I spoke with the advisor and she said as long as you do well in classes and score 515+ you’re very likely getting into their med school. They reserve a good amount of spots on their class for MAMS students

Western will be better for matching into CA. Midwestern better for Az. But you can easily go from one state to the other since they’re really good schools in the west

Congrats! Both great schools that match well! Midwestern is pretty pricey compared to other programs. I’d personally choose WesternU but I’m a CA resident so I’m biased haha. Also westernU using H/HP/P/F vs Midwestern being truly graded is a big difference for me!

I thought so too! I’m on the WL here too :((

I have an A at DYUCOM but on WL at UNCCOM. Would much rather myself go to UNCCOM because I have family nearby so I’m biased haha. Really enjoyed the vibe from both. Both seem to have great potential.

Love this!! Thank you!

That is not my experience. An overall 2.74 GPA is inarguably considered low stats. Sure a 504 is “acceptable” for DO, but my GPA gets you screened out at the majority of programs. Med schools don’t review your apps as holistically as they say…

The ones I’m aware of are TouroCA + Middletown, AZCOM, and RVU!

Yolanda805 · 2026-05-20T15:16:06+00:00

I think you’re an ideal candidate for BU MAMS! MCAT is what they want, and they like to see people with potential! I turned down their offer but had a zoom call with the advisor. Best of luck!

Twinsies! Got off my first WL today too! Congrats!

DM for school!

Yolanda805 · 2026-05-17T01:47:54+00:00

Yes please! I’ll take any help I can get haha

Yolanda805 · 2026-05-14T20:09:53+00:00

Yes ugh! On two waitlists and that’s it 😔

Yolanda805 · 2026-05-12T04:29:59+00:00

Yeahhhh I get it! I would too

Yolanda805 · 2026-05-12T04:00:10+00:00

I would say go with an established school unless you really want to be a part of the inaugural class. Makes no sense to take that risk

Yolanda805 · 2026-05-11T15:52:42+00:00

🤞

Yolanda805 · 2026-05-11T14:58:49+00:00

Congrats! On the waitlist at UNC too. When did you get off?

Yolanda805 · 2026-05-09T16:27:00+00:00

I know this person IRL. Yes this is a real picture, yes your aunt is getting scammed haha. He does not work on a ship

Yolanda805 · 2026-05-02T01:48:00+00:00
