hi,
so, i placed out of having to take physics i/ii in drexel's evening pmed program, and now i'm only taking 4 credits (3chem + 1lab). 4 (<6) credits makes me ineligible for any federal money for loans. also, i can't defer my perkins loans from grad school, b/c i would be considered less than a half-time student.
my dilemma:
1) should i take out private loans to cover this + summer tuition?
2) can i take another course in its stead that isn't immensely demanding, but at the same time beneficial (some 2 or 3 credit course, w/o lab), which would allow me to be considered "part-time", take federal loans, and defer perkins.
does this make any sense?
