OK. I have a credit score (equifax) of over 620. Does that mean I'm eligible for Teri loans?

What should I expect to be able to borrow. At what interest rate?

Thank you for your help.

Call Teri and they will tell you all this information. There is no way for us to know what interest rate you will get. I'm in medicine, not finance.

Is there anyone out there who would rather choose aua or a DO school over saba over loan problems? or is it just me?

Saba admission will be holding online chat sessions 1/11, 1/25, 2/8 and 2/22. That would be a great opportunity to ask re: transferring if you do not want to call the office directly (which is always the better and more efficient option in my opinion.) Likewise they are holding a financial aid chat 2/7 in which I assume they will be updating us as to the status of the loan provider situation. Simply go to the Saba website for more information.

It looks like a positive move although it really does not help those who have no co-signer and cannot secure TERI loans for that reason. If you read the fine print one of the 3 qualifications to apply for this loan by yourself is that you have to show proof that you've worked the last two years, and will still have that same source of income in medical school. Why not just say you cannot apply without a co-signer? lol.
