Have any Fall 08 newcomers signed up to do Davenport? I signed up and will be taking a class in July, but I'm worried about committing to the program without knowing anything about SMU's loan situation...

I am a new Fall '08 student, and I am doing the Davenport program. From my understanding, the loans for the MBA program come from the federal government and are not privately funded.

you can also add private loans on top of your federal loans. this way u can pay for SMU+Dav

What private loans can you use to fund MD/MBA with a cosinger...anyone know any good ones?

If you do Davenport, you wont need a private lender to fund the MBA, because they actually give the maximum amount of federal loans so that you can pay for the MBA, and alot left over to pay for living expenses at SMU. Essentially if you do the Davenport program, you will only need private loans to pay for SMU Tuition some Rooming.

If your eligible for government loans...you will get a good amount with Davenport. Loans are loans, but I 'd like to use as much gov't money as I can, and use the private loans to pay for SMU tuition and first year in the dorms.

Yea I plan on doing that, I was wondering what private loan companies I can use to pay for SMU??

yeah but u have to pay tuition and rooming and living and thats like 15G total.

the dav govt loans only kick you back about 7G per semester. you can take more with CampusDoor/Next Student. also i heard iChase gives you like 15. with a good cosigner you can get amazing rates and no origination fee.
