AGAIN…what costs are covered by INSURANCE and from disability payments??? If your parents haven’t applied for disability payments for your sibling, then they should. He could be getting several hundred a month, maybe more, if permanently disabled.
Is your sibling getting disability payments? If so, that will count. If not, then ask your parents to look into that.
It would be unusual for your sibling to have $60k per year in necessary and uncovered expenses…because think about it…how would a family who makes $80k per year pay those bills EVERY year.

Believe me, you have no idea what you’re talking about in this regard. There are a few of us here on CC that know a good bit about the premed process, and the med school app process. Seriously, you have no idea.
