Intl. students: how do you pay for med school?

[Creightonite]

Especially in schools that require 100% prepay. Any suggestions on the banks? I did quite a bit of searching and there is a lender that can work with me with no cosigner. Finding a cosigner is tough, but i got an established credit history so I was hoping to maybe get loans a few places. Do banks that give private loans actually check whether you got a citizenship/green card? Do you have to send out that kind of paperwork to them during application?

I'm in the same boat, and was actually looking for an option without a cosigner as well. If you don't mind me asking; what lender is it and at what interest rate?

accessgroup.com, not sure about the rates. I am pretty that they are higher than with a cosigner, not sure by how much. I wish we got more response here.

They are actually really high (between 8-12%) depending on how good your credit are.
