When I got into med school, I had anticipated deferring a year to pay off all my current loans, but alas, the school didn't let me, so I'm gonna be stuck with 30k of loans going in this year (half of that unsubsidized Stafford); I REALLY want to clear those loans (at least the unsubsidized portion) ASAP, so I was wondering, is it a wise idea if I borrow up to the total COA of med school, even though I know I won't need all of it to live on, and use that to pay off my current loans?
And I'm assuming here that with Subsidized Stafford and Perkins Loans, they are not going to accrue any interest during the in-school deferment, even though it's a different program from what I attained the loans from?
