[quote=Anonymous][/quote] I wouldn't worry about scholarships for medical school - even taking everything out on loans is fine given the salaries that attendings make.[/quote] You have no idea. Lots of med students come out with so much debt that it limits their choices or they have forever debt. They might be paying loans into late middle age (or later! - as a student, I once worked with a wonderful geriatrician doing *house calls* - the kind of person who you’d be so grateful was taking care of you or your loved one) who confided that in her 40s she and her family were renting and she didn’t think they’d ever buy a house bc of her med school debt). Sure that eye surgeon, orthopedic surgeon etc should have their debt paid off within a few years, but for anyone who borrowed heavily to go to school and is working in primary care (internal medicine, peds, family practice) and lots of other specialties, it is years of payback.
