OT: More college loan help needed (DAMNIT!)

JakeT. · Nov 7, 2007

Sorry for clogging up the forums with this stuff but it's much easier to get advice here than setting up an appointment with someone at Boise St.

Anyway, apparently I'm not eligible for federal or state aid my first semester back because, well, I went to half my classes during my goof-off last semester at Boise St. I got A's in the classes I went to, and F's in the ones I didn't, but apparently that doesn't matter and my GPA for that semester doesn't qualify for aid.

So now it looks like I'll have to take out some sort of bank loan as far as I can tell.

Any advice as far as what I should be looking for here? This is only to cover me for this one semester while my grades get back into shape. This is kind of a pain in the ass since I had a nice GPA before this last semester and didn't realize I was jeopardizing my aid when I decided to skip the classes I disliked.

Anyway, any advice would be appreciated.

I believe you are looking for "alternative" student loans, or private student loans.

Try this link:
http://www.finaid.org/loans/privateloan.phtml

and for a list of all alternative student loans, go here:
http://www.finaid.org/loans/privatestudentloans.phtml

Important thing to note here is that your credit score is used for these loans, whereas it is not used for federal and state loans.

You are just on academic probation probably, no big deal. Just make sure you do well when you go back.

Whatever you do it is not worth it to go Cho on their asses.Leave your guns at the house when you go talk to them. Also don't tell them you need the loan so you can play poker when you don't go to class.

Well my credit is pretty piss poor right now. I'm not at the point where I have to put down a deposit for setting up utilities or anything but if I get a cell phone, I need to put one down. Probably have close to a grand I need to get paid off due to a Dish Network cancellation that went bad when I lost the receivers that I was supposed to return.

For this semester, probably like 5k. I don't want to work for the next 2 years and just hammer out a 4.0 and get done with college. That's the gameplan anyway.

Or from the looks of it, timetopay.com, which would be an absolutely comical and BRUTAL name for a loan(shark) company.

It's so bad, it almost has to be done. Next thing you know, TTP will be advertising here.
