Here's my situation:
I've been accepted to two schools.
SLU gave my my financial aid package already.
Rush hasn't given me a financial aid package because apparently I didn't include something in the FAFSA that I needed to (parents w2 apparently). So I probably won't know what the package is for Rush until after April 30th..
So, what Im curious about is this: If I commit to Rush on April 30th, do I run the risk of not getting the full loan coverage that I'd be getting at SLU? Or is the loan coverage pretty standard.
I won't have scholarships at either school so Im just curious about the loans.
Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

No. You will get the same loan coverage except schools give out different levels of unsubsidized loans. The difference will likely be something like $40K vs $44K, which isn't a big deal. You can find how much your schools gives in unsubsidized on their website if you really care

Unsubsidized have the 5.84% interest rate while Grad PLUS will likely have 6.2-6.5% this year
