Just FYI y'all, if anyone's wondering about those private loans and lenders: SallieMae is the only lender that supplies Medical School-type loans (with option of 36-mo max grace period before full repayments). However, CollegeAve - while they usually have lower interest rates than SM - only currently supplies Career Loans to CNUCOM students; you'll need to work with CollegeAve as you go along if you want grace period extensions, etc. I've asked the Financial Aid Office, and they don't have further helpful info, only that CollegeAve is trying to work on medical school loan agreements with CNUCOM, progress on this TBA. Moral of the story is: be super careful when choosing your loans, med peeps! Get all the info you can upfront
