elisebello (Alumni) Medachiever is a private lending company that has worked with Caribbean school students including some at MUA. They tend to have higher interest rates than federal loans so understand the full terms before signing.
wanga (Student) Confirm whether MUA's clinical semester tuition is included in the original loan package or whether you need separate financing for clinical years.
lnair (Alumni) The total cost of clinical years is often underestimated. Beyond tuition there's housing in US cities, transport to rotation sites, board exam fees, and residency application costs.
patelp (Alumni) Not entirely with wanga on this one. Talk to MUA's financial aid office specifically about Medachiever eligibility and current terms. The information from a few years ago may not reflect current rates or requirements.
ciaraa (Alumni) Federal loans through Title IV remain the lowest cost option for eligible US students. If you're eligible for federal loans that should be your first funding layer before considering any private lender.
chanc (Student) Echoing what elisebello said above. Whatever you borrow, build a repayment plan before you graduate rather than after. The debt picture is easier to manage when you've planned for it.
