Take a huge predatory loan to fix bad GPA or will my app be ok?
I was accepted into the Georgetown MS in Physiology program along with a few others should I take out about 60k in loans (14.99%APR) to attend Georgetown?
*Reapplicant to DO schools, first time applicant for MD schools*
I am an undocumented student, so I would have to take out a very high interest rate student loan to be able to afford GU. Do you think it’s worth doing the masters program? Or should I just stay home work and focus on the MCAT?
Here are my stats and all the schools I’ve...

Need advice on how to do DIY post bacc and clinical shadowing.
Hey guys, I've made a few threads here in the past but I am once again in need of more advice from you great people.
I'm currently working and waiting to pursue a DIY post-bacc next August. I graduated in 2018 with a 3.19 B.S. in Human Physiology. This was mostly due to me doing a D1 sport + being naive about what to do for a major, and then injuring my lower back (herniated disc) severely.
