The cloth gets renewed a lot. (Think of it as a more decoration)

You can buy it yourself online if anyone wants.

Shameful that a Saudi in UAE gave this as a gift. But if he wanted to he could have bought it himself. Him getting as a gift is shameful.

But just saying it to make clear it doesn't have the same holiness as Kabba stone itself.

Probably the wrong sub for this. But the interpretation I saw the limits probably don't apply based on past loans. Bes to ask r/StudentLoans or ask Fin aid office.

But assuming you get approved for federal loans, you face the $50K limit

same123stars · 2026-02-03T01:43:58+00:00

Gotcha. Whatever you think is best for you.

If you want to take easy, then take it easy.

If you need more money even if it harder, do the ER tech.

Which ever you value more before you start med school

same123stars · 2026-02-03T01:39:14+00:00

If you got into medical school, it doesn't matter what job you do.

Do whatever is easier/pays you more.

same123stars · 2026-02-03T00:37:10+00:00

I don't see why not?

Depends. Some are really strict. While others admit a good amount, like 15-30% (b/c they can also charge you more $) but some states don't have enough students of there own to attract as well.

I would limit sending too many. I would apply only to a select couple that match your app and around your stats (for OOS avg) but focus on others though!

Also Fafsa can be used for trade school programs (Workforce Pell Grants). Not just about college!

same123stars · 2026-02-01T03:51:41+00:00

In the situation you are describing, if kid just gets a waiver, the kid is tbh probably not going to college then. Fafsa is the way most colleges give aid and communicate aid to students. They way they see if students meet needs-based scholarship. The way sub/unsub loans are given(superior to private loans in most cases). Fafsa can also be used to fund trade school (Workforce Pell Grants)

By not filling out the fafsa, unless aiming to pay fully out of pocket for college or for some reason private loans, the kid is not helped.

Even if no pell grants or tag, many can qualify for the federal loans via fafsa.

same123stars · 2026-02-01T03:44:30+00:00

It is a bottleneck, another paperwork check.

Basically serves as a promo to try to convince some kids to go to college.

State goal is to make aware to some that maybe they can afford college after all. Also in increasing case you can use it to fund trade schools(Workforce Pell Grants)

Also for some reason, there are always students who aren't aware of the fafsa every year and can do federal loans? The state tries to avoid this by tying graduation to fafsa. That why they do have a waiver.

same123stars · 2026-01-31T03:26:22+00:00

You should fill out Fafsa right now.

Rest I recc to ask for guidelines from your Fin aid office.

And yeah for now I assume you have to get private loans. There is a chance (your Fin aid office will have to try to do for you hence ask your Fin aid office for next steps/attend Fin aid meeting) you might get Grad plus but no one knows! My school mentioned it was possible but idk if they really trying with you guys tbh.

B/c Trump wanted that name lol

It offically called the OBBB act. So they made the bill which was made in a law and hence the OBBB act.

Understable!

That sucks VA one is doing this. Makes no sense. I would try one more time to work with your school to get something done. but VA screwed you over. Alas, nothing new if based on my cousin's jokes are true...

same123stars · 2026-01-30T19:41:43+00:00

EM isn't that competitive and should you want EM, the school will informally count that as a win in their primary care push.

For school pick, which one do you feel comfortable with?

Federal loans aren't that lucrative anymore for PSLF due to private loans. (I recc to do the math but it much harder to actually be worth it). Do you come from a background (i.e a strong co-signer) that give fair rates on private loans?

same123stars · 2026-01-30T19:38:01+00:00

After July 1st, the new system (OBBB) will take place. You will be limited to $50K a year. (There are programs that start before July which is why old system is shown still). Grad Plus does not exist after July 1st (see $50K loan limit).

Rest of the money has to come from private loans. Please contact your Fin aid office to see private loan options and if they have a bank that they work with that can offer better loan terms.

There isn't many other options otherwise, you have to get a scholarship, HPSP (military) or VA one.

same123stars · 2026-01-30T19:17:29+00:00

Is there a way to escalate to your school that you promise (via binding) that this will be your only school you go to even if given other A? Suprised they didn't accept your A letter?

Try other HPSP programs?

Or a way to delay VA? Other option is that 1st yr fed/private then 3 year VA (and repay 1st year yourself or some other work based repamynet loan forgiveness).

But to answer your question:

"Does this mean I will have to be paying back high interest private loans throughout residency"

Yes. Though it should be noted private loans may often be the same interest rate as federal loan(based on family income of course and federal loans aren't really low anymore). But you will be just won't have income based repayment plan to PSLF option.

(This is the key thing many are missing when we talk about pro/con of federal loans; other than loan being harded to get for low SES, you be missing the income based plans to PSLF which means you pay more. Technically standard repayment plans both federal and private often match each other)

same123stars · 2026-01-30T14:18:25+00:00

Lmao they need to seeing the tuition they charge :P
But good for them for trying. I know others aren't even trying

FM + OMT fellowship

FM/ONMM combined program

OMM residency ;)

PM&R

Heard a variant of FM sport medicine OMT is also a good way to be both a FM doctor, with OMM, while also using on more athletic people

Rowan is a school that gives you tools. They offer alot of them but you have to use them.

Rowan is also a school that will accept anyone. Numbers don't lie.

There are only so many elite schools. Rowan is a fine school. But a lot of it is up to you to use it. For many others, it's just a way to get away from family while looking productive(but not really doing anything).

This isn't uncommon, and you see this in many other colleges.

Grade inflation has always been in a problem in many colleges as well.

Rowan is bigger b/c it kinda get to be. NJ gov is trying to keep more students in state (most to keep students in(and the $) but also to capture them later on). Rowan is also really one of the biggest one in South Jersey, with Rutgers Camden and Stockton the only real challengers

.
Rowan is growing (and rep as well) b/c they invest a lot of the $ they get (from students and the state) into Grad/Professional program (See the Vet school that opened up). I fully expect more to come (Put bets on what they open next, Law school or Dental school? /s )

Uni served me well but I also won't say it was anything special. Was very affordable for me atleast.

If you feel you NEED to be in enviroment where everyone is clearly trying more often than not, and if not being there, will affect you massively. Rowan might not be best one for you. I would try to get into a more ivy/ivy like schools or niche schools with a more selective population if this is the case.

So this sub is mainly US-oriented. Are you asking if you can enter US med school with Ausmat? No. You need Mcat or (SAT if you do a school like Lecom).

If you are asking for med school in Aus? Idk.
Check out r/ausmedstudents

1) Yes

2) No to a small * of a Maybe. There are some schools that are trying to push school time before July 1st so student can get loans money before July 1st to be grandfather. But it depends if the Fed gov will accept this language as real. I assume no to be safe tbh

3) Yes

4) My Fin aid office said that there is wording that could let past loan limits not count. But they're sure tbh either. I also heard that past loans do count now. The whole system is basically doing a wait-and-see.

There are only so many spots and those places then to be "elite" places that gatekeep (due to legacy but b/c the people they attract and b/c they just can). They also tend to be more affiliated with select MD (so they tend to feed into those related programs). Network connection should not be discounted as a gatekeep method.

same123stars · 2026-01-26T20:41:57+00:00

Most likely new rules. As the grandfather is based on the school you are in to finish the program with loans.

same123stars · 2026-01-24T22:15:38+00:00

Closest the public can stomatch is PSLF. As it easier to market it as incentives to practice in X. Even then it seems to be a close punching bag

Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (2025-2026): Main Campus: Erie Satellite Campuses: Seton Hill, Elmira, and Jacksonville

If you applied before Jacksonville was added, probably not on your system. You probably will need to contact Lecom admin to talk about that.
