Thanks, ehughs. That is really good information. I know I don’t want to work while in school, even now that I am finishing my undergrad, but realistically, I know I’ll have to work. I have no family and I’m single. I guess my whole reason for going back to school and following this dream was the fact that I let go of my fear of paying for it. I am under the assumption “if there is a will, there is a way” kind of thinking, or “Everyone else is doing it and they are not all rich.”
I figure, someway, somehow, if I want it, I’ll figure it out. I think the key for me is applying for every, single, dingle thing I can apply for in the way of scholarships and the like. Hopefully, like you said, once accepted into a med school, they will be able to keep me in the program in spite of financial hardship. We’ll see.
