when going to medical school. can someone borrow the entire tuition plus personal expenses (like rent& food) ?

Answer 1

The best idea is to ask the medical school's financial aid officer to learn how other students pay for those items. However, there are a limited number of scholarships out there for those attending medical and graduate school. An idea is to apply for them.

Answer 2

You can borrow as much money as you qualify for, and need. But, you will most likely have to have some private loans, and the interest rates on some of those are REALLY high.
