Hey guys I recently got accepted to medical school at NYMC. I was wondering if there are any other medical students on this forum that have any advice as to the best way to pay for the incredibly expensive tuition. Thanks in advance!

Congratulations! I also was accepted this cycle and I'm waiting to hear back from a couple of other programs too.

I'd definitely reach out to your school's financial aid department to see if they can help guide you. They may have institutional loans and grants that you are eligible for since you have DACA.

I'd also look into private lenders like Sallie Mae and Discover. However, you'll need a credit-worthy co-borrower for both who is a USC/PR.

Best Wishes!

Put your story out there. You never know: you might inspire someone super wealthy to fund your tuition.

Someone funded my law school tuition after I revealed my story. I graduated debt free.

Congratulations to the both of you.
