melimi said:the financial aid kind of sux to tell u the truth
the max u can get in scholarships is $7,500 per year
the itrest of it is given as "low interest loans", which are 0% interest during the 4 yrs of med school and then i believe its 5% after u graduate
The only loans that do not acrue interest during school are subsidized loans. The rest (unsubsidized and private) always acrue interest. It is repayment that begins after you graduate. Also, you can consolidate gov't loans and lock in a low interest rate when schools ends. However, private loans you are not able to consolidate and so those interest rates are always variable.
