I am getting ready to consolidate all of my loans so that I can apply for REPAYE. However, I also have a Perkins loan (5% for ~10K, interest free during the 9 mo grace period).
Would it be better to consolidate the Perkins loan after 9 months or do it now all at once? If I choose to consolidate it after 9 months, will the interest on my other loans under REPAYE capitalize and/or require a new REPAYE application at that time? I am not planning on PSLF.
