Thanks for the clarification.

I would just like to say that I would likely apply for graduate school loans after 2014.

My mom and I are just really trying to make sure I don’t accumulate a large amount of debt all in my name to the point where I cannot attend graduate school. Perhaps this can be done with her taking out PLUS loans on my behalf. She has good credit history, but tbh I’m not sure at the moment how much she can handle in terms these loans. We are working on figuring that out.

If some of you have read my other thread, you likely know that I’m interested in applying to a very expensive private school (ED is still iffy atm) as my top choice. If I were to get accepted with NO merit-based aid, I’m thinking of possible things I could do to help manage that situation. My mom has already said that shes willing to take PLUS loans, and perhaps with her taking PLUS and me taking Stafford (plus whatever institutional loans/aid I get) the burden could be shared in a way that isn’t detrimental to either of us.
