t may not make a big difference in the ending loan amount.

Fully agreed. During the second-look at a public medical school, financial aid told MS0 to expect less aid in MS2-4, even though the scholarships for MS1 are in the order of 5k - 7k only. The only exception may be the scholarships for URMs, who often get more and also get it at the same time they receive the acceptance. Many schools really roll the carpet for them, even when they have lower stats. (e.g., a 3.8/32 URM from a third-tier school could beat a 3.8/37 non-URM from a first-tier school easily. Heck, last year a top-20 medical school even accepted a student with 26 MCAT as the medical school has a “contract/agreement” with the state government which has a special program for some highly sought-after URMs near the border of Texas state.)
