Question about 5th Year

Are there any U.S. residency programs that view a UAG student's 5th year in the states as equivalent to PGY-1?

5th Pathway a must

There are no US programs that take a 5th pathway year as your PGY-1 year. Actually, your are still considered to be a student until the day you finish your 5th Pathway and therefor not eligable for residency.

That is actually good as far as loans are concerned... (to still be considered in school)

you can still deferr, but the interest will be added on to your principle.

If I defer them until I am dead, I do not have to pay them

You can always take six units in your community college till you are dead. If you ever run out of classes, you can always keep failing courses to repeat the same courses over and over again.
