Actually the subsidized Stafford currently has a better interest rate than the Perkins. (4.5% for sub stafford vs 5% for perkins).

You should have no problem getting the Stafford loans and parent PLUS loans. The perkins is probably off the table. It is a campus based aid and therefor has limited funding, and they probably re-awarded it to someone else after you turned it down.
