Getting a good co-signer would be the easiest. Paying down debt you acquired (from before you started med school). After that, it just takes time. By owning a house, car, boat, etc and making regular payments (no late fees, etc) is how you really "raise" your credit score...unfortunately those things are quite difficult to do while you're in med school.

Did you email Dr. B and Dr. S in physiology like the SGA president said to?

the committee has the final say so. that's why I figured I asked what everyone is doing because what the SGA president said wasn't true about if you have a problem email them.

Are you sure your loan is at 17%? Are you reading the disclosure statement? Its prime + ?. ?= depends on your credit status. That doesn't sound right.
