Regulus--Thanks for the info. I am going to suggest this to my parents, but I doubt it's going to be a go. Opening up a home equity line of credit under their name is a bit more than I think they are willing to help me, but I'll see.

Given that, is there any reason to split between pvt and gov't loans in the scenarios I described above? Or are you thinking that the lower interest rates for the pvt loans would more then compensate for the potential benefits gradPLUS loans would offer me if I ended up making under 90k?
