So I'm set to start med school in the fall, and still haven't recieved any finacial aid packages. I'm a bit worried because my credit score is really bad (~600)....is this going to hinder my ability to take out loans? I don't really have a lot of debt from undergrad (> 10 K)...but is my credit score going to hurt my ability to take out loans?
Uncle Sam doesn't use your credit score for Staffords. They don't have to because you can't bankrupt out of them. I think that PLUS loans do use credit as a criterion.
