If someone could post on any differences they have found between the lenders it would be great...So far the major difference, to me at least, is the maximum you can take out (the rates all seem the same). In which case I think I am going to go with a company that will force me to live within my means..In other words, I was thinking of going with a company that has the lowest max amount..Unless, I'm missing something I think I am going to go with that logic...Right now I am at work so I haven't been able to get too deep into this yet, but I also noticed that if you decide to take a personal loan through Sallie Mae (which might be necessary if your money runs out) that you get 3 years after graduation to defer it (which might be something to think about), but with Chase it says you pay right after graduation..Again, if I am wrong about that feel free to correct me, but my PI gets so mad when I am reading about med school and not giving her data so I have minimized the window and I can barely see what I'm reading..lol
