Private loans. Don’t qualify? Better start working your arse off to pay for it.
How the hell does a Med student have any time for a job?

You should take your traveling show to the money board, they’ll love your schtick.

Med is a professional school.
Not a graduate school.
Are they drawing a distinction between the two?

So the school needs to find a way to get the tuition down to a level where demand will increase and funds are available.
As it is, there is no accountability for the institution. They simply raise the cost of education and the government shovels out the money via student loans. There is 0 accountability to the university for what they charge.

Also can we say giving 300k plus in private loans is just a worse solution?
Nope. No way. Are you insane. A loan between a private bank and an individual, no matter how much. Is a 1000 times better than the government being involved.

Undergrad 21
Med 25
Residency ~29 depending
Fellowship ~33 depending (some can be up to 40)
Imagine you had to do this with a job, who would want to stay in debt for 15+ years before they earn real money

Maybe it will help force down the ridiculous tuitions. My entire 4 years of med school was $34,000. It's over $60k per YEAR here now. I graduated in 2000. It may be over $70k/yr by now.
ETA- appears to be little over $34k/yr in state for tuition only. $67k for out of state.

You ever borrow 300k before? Remember what was the requirements? Now apply that to a 21 year old without money from parents / co-signer

Brother you are talking to the wrong guy. I have more experience with grad plus than anyone you’ve ever met. And not necessarily because I needed the loan….but it’s basically free money after a certain point.
If you can math you can do very well going to school.

My question stands, did you borrow 300k plus while being on an intensive program with no support?

Bro even if you’re dei doctor you’re still a doctor and are proficient enough. Have to remember these deis are still top of most classes

Cry me a river. The US should stop backing the loans completely. Schools would have to stop growing their billion dollar endowments and charge reasonable tuition. In my lifetime the cost of college has gone up 400% and yet the inflation rate for the last 30 years is 3% or less until the Biden years. Look it up. Most years under 3%. Some under 2% and a few negative years. Absolutely no way tuition would be close to the current level if not for the US backing the loans.
Explain to me why Stanford needs 1 administrator for every single student. College bloat is insane. And don't try and tell me they really need 15000 administrators for 16000 students. That number doesn't include teachers.
