With the new limitations on Grad PLUS loans, do you think med schools will start offering more institutional aid?

Most people I know rely heavily on Grad PLUS to cover the gap, especially with total cost hitting $50k–$100k+ per year. Obviously some students from wealthier backgrounds won’t be affected, but I’d imagine a large portion of applicants depend on those loans to even make attendance possible.

Curious what people think happens next

•	Do schools step up with more aid?

•	Does this reduce the applicant pool?

•	Or do people just turn to private loans?

Would like to hear perspectives from people already in med school too.
