I am about to fill out FAFSA for financial aid, but I realized something that is now haunting me: I have a couple thousand in collections (personal loan taken out in my name that I didn’t know about to pay for school, then went unpaid :/) and am slowly paying it off. Will this play a role in or even prevent me from receiving federal financial aid? Also, will this prevent me from leasing an apartment for med school? I plan to get roommates, hopefully
I will be quite close if not done paying off the collections by the time I start med school, and I have been told it’ll be removed from collections when I do. However I obviously will be receiving financial aid and choosing an apartment a bit before then, so just want to plan accordingly.
