Is it possible to take a ~$40,000 per year loan in my own name, without a co-signer? I’m 17…will be 18 in July. No credit card, but I’ve had a job and a checking account since fall 2007. Pretty good grades (2110 SAT, 3.8 gpa in an AP-intensive curriculum).

(I have one of those complicated family situations with divorce, abuse, mentally ill parents, etc… I already know all about dependency overrides, merit aid opportunities…I just need to know whether or not this kind of loan would be possible, as a last resort.)

Thanks!
