Hi, I just wanted to ask a question about my current situation as Iv recently been accepted to medical school.
For the second half of undergrad, I needed to take out money to pay. I was young and didn't really know anything about loans (don't know much now either) and my parents didn't really know much about loans either. I wound up taking out a sallie Mae loan and currently have about $15,000 of debt. It took some time to get accepted into medical school and Iv expended my one year deferent after graduation and forebareance options. Now that Iv been accepted, how does the process work? Will I be able to get a federal loan and consolidate or pay off the private loan? Or will I have to do something else?
I'm sorry if I sound naive about this process, I'm just excited about being accepted but nervous about what happens next with respect to the financial situation.
Thanks for the help and responses.
