hey, I have had loans in the past with financial aid, but since I am going into the 2nd year of premed, they told me that I can't get financial aid,which is fine cuz I will get a loan.

But the problem is which loan and from where? I have searched this forum but it is no where near informative cuz everyone is talking about all these weird loans. I just want a simple answer that fits what I need. I need about $12,500 for this semester and I want to pay it off after I graduate med school(SGU). I know that I will be charged interest 6 months after I graduate which is fine.

PLZ help, I would not like a link to another forum convo, I rather get one word answers telling me which loan fits me the best and how I can apply online and quick. THANK YOU! :x

yesu can do ed-invest online. i believe its www.ed-invest.com
and you do have to tell sgu, and beside thats the company that sgu uses anyway so it will be less of a hassle.
other loan company that i know you can try is www.northstar.org they offer no origination fee and no gurantor fee. if you call their office make sure you tell them the st.george found under Bay Shore is the same one that you will be applying to, otheriwse SGU wont be on their system. you can also apply this online i believe.

some others you can try is medachiver and sallie mae. and all of them i believe can done online as long as you know your fafsa electronic pin number.

if you want to do an alternate loan, meaning a private loan and not through the federal loan system, then you dont need that fafsa pin thing. and i believe all of them offers the alternate loan application.

good luck. im going through this loan thing myself too now myself so i know its heck as confusing. :D

well thanx for the info., I guess I have to call all the loan people because I tried it all online and there are only US states listed. So I would have to call and speak to everyone I call. I have a pin for fafsa but I have to find it somewhere!! :roll: lol thanx soooo much!
