Financing medical school?
Am graduating from college in 2 years and am wondering what percentage of financial aid DOES NOT pay for medical school expenses. Where do I find information on this? If accepted, I plan to work 15-20 per week. Would this be possible considering the graduate school work load? Thanks.

- Visit http://www.aamc.org/ and it will answer most questions about attending medical school, including obtaining loans. While it is possible to work while attending med school, it is not advisable. Between classes and studying, there is ample time to work a parttime job, but that leaves less time for relaxing. Taking a break is very important, as the stressors from school are high. It would be far better to make financial arrangements (i.e., taking more out in secondary loans) than to plan on having to work to make ends meet.
