Thanks La fea for the reply
I started my homework before asking anything here and looked at the school's website with different lenders and compared them but there are few things which I am uncertain of. Like some banks ask for applying 3 months before the school starts because the credit check is valid for only 3 months supposedly and that expires in case it is done before the advised time and so you have to reapply.Since my school starts in July end ( I am talking about BU), it is no point applying for that now in those particular banks as I understand. So my question is to you guys is if this is correct and have you started for the procedures considering your school starting date.
Other thing is that I read about Prime and Libor rates. Although I tried to go into details but still if anyone who has experience with the bank loans - somebody who is already studying in Dental school can guide on which banks offer competitively cheaper loans. I know that Citi asks for more documentation than Sallie Mae as one of my friend told me.
La fea, you are going to UCSF right? When your school starts and do you mind telling if you have started loan procedure. I am also on visa, so I believe that I am in same condition as you.
Thanks and good luck
