1. Rich Uncle
2. Line of Credits
3. Scholarships

If anyone knows of a fourth source please enlighten me.
well then, thank God i'm not canadian

and you might want to watch your tone, i'm not your honey and the mods here are touchy about flaming...

No matter what you would be behind. You can try applying to AUC, they are still accepting for Fall and they have no breaks you would be guaranteed to finish Spring 10' and begin clinicals Fall 10'. But, better, I would suggest not to worry so much about time, meaning getting things done so quickly, it makes a difference but what's the rush?

didn't i say do a search?? this exact question came up about 2 years ago...

if you start jan 09 you finish basics dec 10. If IF you were to start clinicals in dec 2010 in the UK (can't start clinicals in the US til May- and who is starting this...starting clinicals only one time a year you're the 2nd person to say this- it BTW is NOT true)you need to do 80 weeks of clinicals so you would finish clinicals in june 2012-and in time (barely) to start residency in 2012. But realize that is with ABSOLUTELY NO BREAKS after 2nd year. No breaks to take step I, step II CK, CS. No breaks to interview...nothing...not one single week.

So while it is numberically POSSIBLE to make it, realistically, can't be done.

i however agree with the last sentance...why the rush?

Well for me in particular, I just turned 24 and I want to get started ASAP...I'm not coming right out 4 years of college...more like 5 + 1 year off which I really don't want to turn into 2...

That being said, I'd still rather go to SGU in January than Ross in September...

I found out my interview is next Tuesday so hopefully I can get on the WL asap and maybe get in for August still...but I'm not holding onto that.
