Hello! I have a question regarding admission into medicine schools and tuition fees please read the details below, thank you!?

So, I’m a biology student, my gpa is 3.95 and I’m an honors student. I still have 3 years to graduate and I want to attend medical school later on. My question is; how can I apply to a medical school if I don’t have the financial abilities to pay all the tuition fees? I’m an A student, but somehow I feel like I don’t know where to start and I don’t know how things go or how other med students pay for their tuition fees. What options do I have? I really don’t want to give up on my dream just because my parents aren’t wealthy. Any suggestions?

    If your grades continue to be that good, you will be given ample opportunity to borrow your way through medical school.  Banks love a sure thing. don't forget to fill out every scholarship application you can get your hands on.

    Lil' buddy.  Listen.  The Coors family somehow managed to make millions selling beer that tastes like Schitt and no one went to college.  If they can do it anybody can!

    No one can afford to pay for medical school. Medical students survive on loans. It's very easy to get the loans if you qualify for medical school, because the loaners know you'll be making a lot of money when you get out. o don't worry about it.

    Many medical students take out loans to cover their tuition, fees, and living expenses during medical school.  They often end up with huge student loan debts and large payments, but they usually earn enough to comfortably pay those back.  Sometimes you get lucky and get them paid off for you; my friend's brother was recruited to a rural medicine clinic and they are paying off his medical school debt.  

    Some medical schools offer scholarships, but this is pretty rare and is usually just for truly exceptional students.  A high school classmate of mine received a scholarship/assistantship to cover his joint PhD/MD studies, but he was the only student in his medical school class to receive that.

    You're asking in the wrong place. No one here knows where you live, so how are we to know what would be available to you? You should ask someone that might actually know, a teacher or some sort of citizens advice person from where you live.
