Also, for those who applied for Discover, what school did you choose? I don't see anything that remotely looks like "University of Virginia School of Law" in these options.

Private for both. Choose "University of Virginia."

Last night, at about 8:15, I got a call from an 888 number. I told my buddy, "This better not be Discover calling this late. I heard they really bug people." Sure enough, it was Discover. Worse yet, the guy who answered the phone thought that I called him. He looked at my file, and they needed absolutely nothing from me.

Actually there already is one.

Almost everyone in law school is white. False dilemma!

I can't find a plain "University of Virginia" option when selecting graduate loans. I see wierd things like "Richmond Campus" and "Hampton Roads Campus" but no plain old UVA.

Yeah, that's what I got, too.

Chipotle (x2)- no explanation needed.
Five Guys- delicious.
Christian's- delicious.
Mellow Mushroom- delicious.
Marco and Luca's- amazing.

Also, I now have first hand experience that Comcast does in fact suck.

Anywhere else I should try? We haven't gotten groceries yet, hence all of the eating out.

that's weird, I used discover as well and there was definitely a plain "Virginia" option. I'm beginning to think I did something wrong, I haven't received any annoying phone calls from these guys...

limegreen wrote:Okay this question is just hypothetical that the loan process has got me thinking about, but what happens if you decide not to go? On the school end I assume you lose your deposit, but what happens with the loans? You just cancel them before they start? Or pay them back as soon as you get the money or what? Is there anything punitive? I just want to know all the ramifications because I am clueless about this kind of thing.

I think the answer to most of your questions can be answered by reading the MPN instructions.

Yep. Essentially, you'll get a pro-rated refund.

The customer service rep I talked told me that the government will likely be reducing interest rates on federally-sponsored loans come July 1st, fixing that rate for the life of the loan. Now, I'm afraid that this may be too good to be true, but our interest rates could very well drop on loans that we'll be taking out this year.

That being said, a reduction in the fixed rate plus the .25% auto-payment deduction, AND no origination fees on Stafford loans? Pretty freaking sweet.
