When I consolidated they all merged into 7.2ish. My bar exam loan is lower than my federal loans. It's ridiculous.

I was able to consolidate all my loans (including some undergrad I hadn't finished paying on), and I think that consolidation was one thing that lowered the rate. If I remember right, if I paid it on time for a certain amount of time, it also took off a quarter of a percent. I'm just very grateful that my loans are so low interest because I've been out of work a few times since graduating and I would be an absolute mess if the payments were higher.E.

I paid that one off first, then the 6.8% loans, then the private loans and now I'm set to pay back the remaining loans at 3-4% for the next 25 years.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07625315968391918427noreply@blogger.com
