Hello everyone-

Quick question:

I have ~50K on student loans (Federal) from my undergraduate degree; a couple of them in default already. I am going to start Graduate school this Summer/Fall 2015.

I have been thinking about consolidating my student loans to get out of default and start making payments; as a matter of fact I was about to do it a few weeks ago when I thought about my Grad school cost. I will be requiring some student loans for graduate school, approximately ~50K.

If I consolidate my undergrad student loans, can I then consolidate my grad school loans with my undergrad loans? I want to fix this undergrad loan issue and the best way to do it is by consolidating. I am doing midlevel for my graduate education, so that will be a two year wait.

What do you recommend ?

Thanks in advance

Talk to financial aid but I don't think your are getting approved for gradplus loans if you had recent defaults on student loans

I have applied to both NP and PA; Once the admission decisions are completed then I will decide which route to take.

Let me know when you do decide. I had a choice of similar path and will be curious to here someone else's choice.
