I’ve been planning to go to med school for about a year now I just need to make a list of schools I want to attend once I obtain my bachelors degree. I’m leaning towards general surgery though that may change. My question is, can I go to any med school or does it need to be specific to surgery? When I research top med schools and top med schools for surgery, a different list of schools come up so I’m just confused and I’m trying to get a clarification. Are all med schools typically the same and it just depends on residency? I obviously want to go to the best schools but I also don’t want to have to move far away as my parents are helping me with costs. Thanks in advance!

I’m currently on my parents car insurance policy but my car is in my name. We live in Ohio and I am about to start school in Michigan. I think it’s smart for me to change my residency to Michigan so I will get in-state tuition after the first year but will that mess up the car insurance? I’d have to register my car in Michigan. I just don’t want to mess it up and be forced to have my own policy. Also the car has a loan so it can’t easily be transferred to their name. We have progressive. Thank you!

I'm wanting to save on insurance and want to plug in the snapshot to a wall outlet so it can stay on. Anything cheap I can buy?

I'm TERRIFIED of needles and I am just curious if they will need to do a blood test. It's anthem if that makes any difference.

My female best friend of over two years told me that I should always pay for her stuff whether we go eat, go watch a movie, or just anything at all. Should I? We aren't dating and will not.

I'm going to college next fall and I have been wondering what to do. My best friend decided to go to the same college as me and if we both get accepted, we were thinking about just renting an apartment together. Could we use some of our loan money to pay for it? I know for me to live on campus will be $9,000 but I'm sure we could find something a lot cheaper than that and just use our loans to pay for maybe only $3,000 or $4,000. Is that possible? I will be working while I am in college but not enough to be able to pay rent. Thanks for the answers or comments!

I just bought a new car about 2 months ago and on the passenger side by the tire is a scratch that looks like a rock might have hit it. It's not very noticeable but I can see the metal and I don't want it to rust so what should I put over it?

I just got a car about two weeks ago for $22,300... My loan is for 72 months with a 4.99 interest rate so in 6 years I will pay $26,000 for this car.. I don't have a great credit score right now since I am new to credit but once I get in the 700s (which should be in about 3 months) should I refinance my car through another bank to 60 months and get a lower interest rate? I know several banks in my area have 3.5 interest rate in my area I just need more credit.. My loan is through a small bank who doesn't do anything less than 4.99 for any months. Thanks!

Hi there I just bought a car for $22,500 and I am new to credit so I had to deal with a local bank and I got an interest rate of 4.99 so that puts me at paying a grand total of $26,400 for the car. I won't be penalized for paying the car off early though and the sooner I pay it off the less interest I have to pay. I was wondering if maybe in about a year when my credit is good enough that I could just get a loan through another bank with a better interest rate and pay that loan off? Right now I am at a 654.

This may be a disgusting topic but I need to do something! I'm an 18 year old male who showers every single day. When my back sweats (which is usually everyday because I have leather seats and it's extremely hot) I smell like nasty vinegar. But if I'm just outside and I am hot and sweaty it's fine, only when my back sweats. I am not sure what to do about this, would it be weird if I put deodorant on it? It's my lower back. Thanks and sorry if it grosses you out!

I just got a mustang and I live in Florida so we don't have a front license plate but this car has a bracket and I want to take it off. What can I put to hide the holes in the front? My car is black.

Hi there. I am 18 years old and I've been working at McDonald's since March of 2013. I am going to College at EMU and I would like to get some kind of job experience towards a business administration degree. I'll probably work part time wherever it is. I'm not sure what I want to do exactly but an administration degree gives me a lot of room to decide. Thanks for the comments and answers!

I currently have a 2014 Chevy Malibu and I hate it so I am going to trade it in and get a 2015 ford mustang. I have $3,000 to put down for a new car so my question is should I put that towards the loan on my Malibu so the sales tax won't be as much or just use it for the new loan on my Mustang? Right now I owe $16,300 on my Malibu and it's worth about $17,000. Thanks for the help!

How long will it take for my credit to be established enough for me to get a loan with a low interest rate? I have a Discover (5 months) card and a Chase freedom (1 month) card. I also have have a car loan (2 months) with an interest rate of 4.9

My parents have bad credit and can't co-sign for me anywhere and luckily my uncle is a loan officer at a small bank BUT that bank only reports to Equifax is that a bad thing? It doesn't show up on my transunion. Thank you!

Hi there! I am a senor in high school right now and I am trying to get ideas on what kind of a job/degree I want. I seriously have no idea what I want to do with my life. I know I don't want anything with health. I see myself working in a corporate high rise building in a city, but what exactly do they even do? I want to make 75k-100k/year (and yes I know I won't just start off making that) but what are some jobs that make this much by the time I am 30? I'm sorry if I don't sound realistic but I see how hard my parents work and we barely get by. I want to have a very nice house and be able to afford things I want. I think that 100k/year is a great salary to work with. Thanks for all the answers!

I have only had a credit card and car loan for 3 months. I am trying to establish credit and I just learned if I become an authorized user on someone's account, it can help my credit. My parents have excellent credit and have had a Chase credit card since 2007 so will all that backdate on my credit report or will it show as a new account and not help much? Thanks!

So I just got a car loan and had a co-signer. The bank that I went through only reports to equifax. How long will it take to build my credit to where I can get a new loan? I pay $325/month and I've made 3 payments so far. I also have a credit card that I have had for 4 months and I am 18.

So a couple weeks ago, someone ran a stop sign and I couldn't stop in time and ran into him. I just got a 2014 Chevy Malibu and I haven't even made my first payment on it. It was his fault and his insurance is paying for everything. The car wasn't totaled and I just found out today it's going to cost them roughly $10,000-$12,000 to fix this car.

I already made up my mind that if it wasn't totaled I'd be trading it in since it is wrecked and I don't want to deal with any problems that could occur so I decided to drive to a dealership and talk to them about trade-in value and they told me since it will be showing as wrecked in the carfax that it will lose a lot of value and I should go to NADA.com and use the rough trade in value and that's about how much I will get out of it.

So right now I owe $20,500 on the car and rough trade-in value is around $14,000. I just talked to the insurance appraiser and he said there is nothing they can do and I asked "So am I ****** with this?" and he literally answered and said "Yeah it looks like it."

Is there anything I can do besides get a lawyer and pay probably more than I will get back from the insurance? I don't really know how to fight this but all opinions will be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!

Hi there. We just signed up with Progressive and decided to try the snapshot. I have been doing research on this and I don't think I am a good candidate for this since I drive 60 miles a day and I get off work at 3AM (I'm a nurse) so I will be driving during high-risk hours. Can this raise my insurance if they see that I drive too much and late at night? And if I need to drop the snapshot how much will it raise my insurance because it gave me a discount since I was using it and I'm not sure how much the discount was. Thanks!

So I am still on my parents policy and I am planning on staying on their policy for a few more years to save on money. I am getting a Mustang so the insurance would be very pricey with a 19 year old and putting it in my name so will Progressive charge us more for that car? When I go to do a quote it just says to add the drivers and then add the vehicles, it doesn't actually assign a vehicle to each person and I would be getting a new Mustang. Thanks for the answers!
