Hi, i was accepted but waiting to see whats going on with the tei loans. did you get accepted and did you give your 800 deposit? Im waiting on the deposit until they get loans fixed. I talked to the Dean and they said they are working on it so lets see. If you have any more info that would be great.... thanks

[montrealdoc]

[gsingh]

lets hope everything will work out with teri. Im a US citzen can i apply for the loan your applying for?

[montrealdoc]

my loan is for canadians only... you should perhaps speak with your local bank...

[DOCplucinski]

why did Spartan lose loans?

[gsingh]

Hey whats up. For some reason people who had loans threw spartan did not pay or didnt pay on time so its really not the schools fault but the people who didnt pay them. We will see in a few weeks what happens and lets hope something good comes out of it.

I really give credit to the banks and private institution that gives loans to carribean students.If assume the schools beside the big 3 lets say making it rate 40% then 60% will not able to pay back,so all the profits from interest gone with the default loans,I am surprised that such loans offered for such risky careers.

just an opinion

I think you have your information backwards (by my thoughts) ... let me explain my thought process... The big three (I will just use Ross as an example) ... accept more students than they anticipate to proceed. Last I heard they where accepting several hundred students, while only 60% (or 70% to be giving) will proceed to higher semesters. So lets say they (again using what I have heard about Ross as an example) accept 300 students (although people have said 600... which is hard to believe). If as much as 30% fail/drop out that is about 90 students every 4 months. Now on the example of Spartan... they only accept up to a certain number of incoming students usually around 30 or so... Additionally since their inception they have only raised their tuition (I think) 4 times, while other schools have raised theirs multiple times. It is easy to see that the default rate on the larger schools would far surpass that of SHSU. So even if the entire schools students stopped paying back their loans (SHSU) the financial loss would not equal that potential loss by Ross (again just used as an example).

Anyways That’s just my opinion... seems to make more sense to me... if I am in any way completely misunderstanding this please feel free to expound.

[gsingh]

Hey whats up accepted here too, waiting on loans. I hope they get it. cant go to school without it. Did you hear anything from them?

[pej82]

well i have managed the pay other ways... so i am not waiting on loans in that sense. However, I know I got a paper with the acceptance concerning TERI loans and the school ID for that. Beyond that I have no idea bro.

[montrealdoc]

Davata Do you know what is going on with Teri? need some answers have to have loans.....

[Davata]

I don't think the Teri loan is reinstated yet...As far as I know, the school is working on it as we speak. However, the best way to find out is to call either Spartan or, Teri directly and ask.

Gook Luck!

I think they make most of their money by offering loans to Caribbean or other foreign students. They realize you dont have much of a choice, so they charge you interest rates through the roof. Even if 40% make it, they're still making money.
