Got into a med school, but parents can't and refuse to pay for it, cause nobody thought I would make it this far. Ahhhhhhhhh what do I do?
If you can't afford it, don't go.
Look into government facts and scholarships.
Also, some jobs help you pay off student loans as a benefit

Yo I ain't gonna give this up especially when I've broken my back getting the MCAT score, extra curricular and near perfect GPA. I thought my parents were gonna pay for it anyways, how I realize I was so wrong.

Will that be enough to subsidize much of the fees? Because apparently med school it's really expensive.

It won't fix everything, but it will help enough.
Everyone in medical school is in debt, by if it's what you want to do, do it. You will pay it off eventually, probably sooner than you think.
Look into grants and scholarships and talk to an actual financial specialist about loan options
Good luck, Anon, never give up

Talk to the school's admissions and financial aid office. Having accepted you, they have a vested interest in keeping you there - otherwise it looks bad on them.
>Because apparently med school it's really expensive.
So you took the MCAT and studied hard enough to get a near-perfect GPA and you didn't take 20 seconds to Google how much med school costs? Newsflash: every graduate program costs money. Another newsflash: there are way less scholarships available for grad students. Unless you come from a rich family or are Native American, you're going to be taking out student loans. Most schools allow you to borrow enough to cover tuition and living expenses. Yes, you'll be in debt and cringe as interest accrues everyday, but once you graduate and land a good job you'll be able to pay it all off.

Dude its fine. Just get a loan. I'm pretty sure the only people who aren't in debt in grad school are the rich kids. You'll pay off your loan soon enough. Your MD will get you a good job that'll pay you more than you need to repay the loan and live comfortably.
