Hi! I was accepted at my top choice with ~75% tuition scholarship (tried negotiating, no change). I have accepted the $20,500 Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan in order to cover the remaining tuition. To cover the remaining cost of attendance, the school has offered ~$40K in a Grad PLUS Loan (I am assuming I am eligible for the full amount because I have a good, long credit history, but the application doesn't actually open until June/July).
Here's where I'm running into trouble. I do not need the full $40K and did not plan to accept the whole thing. I have also applied for numerous outside scholarships, which have the potential to make a big dent in my COA need - but I haven't heard back yet. However, the school requested that I respond to their financial aid offer by the end of the month.
Will I be able to make changes to the Grad PLUS Loan amount later? I am really scared to take on all this debt and applied for scholarships to minimize it! Should I accept the whole thing? Accept the amount I anticipate needing? Thank you so much for your help!
Sarah Cohen here at 7Sage has saved my life with her editing skills! She is truly the best and works REALLY quickly. She took my essays from a 5 to a 10. Thanks to Sarah, I am getting into schools wayyy above my stats - I truly believe this is due to her writing help. Sarah is so kind and encouraging, and works with you to understand what you are really trying to say. I cannot recommend her enough! To kick off the process, she had me answer some questions about my life. She told me which stories were most compelling and I went from there. Sarah has made the process a breeze. She is so positive and has made applying to law school an awesome experience.
