I'm going to have to borrow approx. $20,000 from Sallie Mae (2 separate loans) to finish my B.S. but I'm really, let's face it, ignorant when it comes to student loans. I plan to go to medical school following undergrad so my understanding is that my loan would then be deferred for an additional 4 years (until residency). If I fail to be accepted to medical school initially, my tentative payments (from Sallie Mae and federal loans) would be approx. $460 a month which I think would be manageable. Would someone with more financial literacy/ wisdom care to give me any further considerations?
My plan is to get the loan, finish undergrad, start medical school and enter residency but I don't want my cosigner's credit to be affected throughout that whole process just cause they want to help me. If I someone had excess money in medical school and did prepayments, how would that work out? Prior to the release of the cosigner, how would their credit be affected?
