Anybody here interviewing at USC please let us know what financial aid says at your interview since the government can only give out 200k in loans now which will only cover one year at USC.

There are enough parents to burn 600k?

There are private loan options. Banks will look forward to the opportunity

No bank is going to loan a 22 year old 500k compounding at 12% for a job that pays 120k. 6k a month for 25 years would be payment since IBR won't apply. That's inane. That's not even possible to pay for new grads. A bank won't do that. If they would, why would ANYBODY, actually take the loan!?

Why is it assumed to be compounding interest? I thought even private loans were simple interest.

Okay, let's say it's simple interest. That lowers it to 5.2k a month for 25 years of a private loan and then you need to add in whatever you have to pay for RAP for the federal loan. 5k+ a month for 25 years is not feasible. I've practiced general dentistry and can tell you this is not sustainable.
