The basic idea is that as long as you don’t have major problems on your credit report (>90 days late, defaults, bankrupcies, etc), you will be able to get federally guaranteed loans for the entire cost of medical school. I really doubt those loans will be going anywhere, and you will get them.



It’s also important to note that the balance on my credit card was paid in full and on time, by my parents (although my name was on the card, they were the ones paying the credit card bill).



If your name was on the card, then the on time payments will be on your credit report.
