<p>*the debt to be burdensome as an intern/resident</p>
<p>=================
I believe shades’s medical school loan amount is much lower than the average. If that amount is burdensome, how can most other medical school graduates who have more debt survive?! *</p>
<p>Right! It sounds like he has about $100k in loans. Many have more than twice that …or MORE if they also have undergrad debt! </p>
<p>Scary!!!</p>
<p>*mrpenguin, i took a full ride as well. now, im a senior, and i have no regrets. Will be graduating undergrad debt free. *</p>
<p>My pre-med son took an “almost free ride” of free tuition plus 4500 per year, so he’s also debt free. He’s a junior and will be in the next cycle and we’re so glad that he doesn’t have debt.</p>
<p>Now…we’re fingers-crossed that he gets into our best state SOM…cost is very reasonable for instate. :)</p>
