When will you take the Casper or PREview exams? Are you going to go for the NHSC or HPSP? Do you have an FAP?

Mission fit is also going to be crucial. Did you grow up in a rural community?

I’ll take casper june 1st. My primary will be done for day 1 turn in. No i def don’t qualify for fap and no i grew up in an urban setting. I’m sure i don’t qualify for much fee assistance outside standard loans. My immediate family is not poor, my extended family all is. Immediate family def not rich enough to pay for college or med school tho
