BAD CREDIT & CRNA School

[E Class]

I have been working at trying to improve my credit score. It's not horrible but not A1. I've always been maybe too cautious not getting credit cards, etc. and in turn, because I don't have "revolving" accounts it doesn't help my score, though all bills are paid on time. Has anyone attended CRNA school with bad credit but were still approved for loans to cover tuition? I just want to make sure everything is covered.

I don't think you need to have rockstar credit for graduate loans but you don't want to have bad credit. Have you ever filed for bankruptcy or have any delinquencies or public records on your account? If you don't, I wouldn't think it would be a big hassle for you to get your graduate education funded. Obviously I'm not a financial expert, but that is what I have heard from others.

Awesome! Thank you.

Getting loans for school shouldn't be too big of an issue. You may run into trouble after school. You can refinance your loans at a much lower rate after school is done, which will save you a ton of money in the long run based on the interest rate you get. Whether or not you can, and the rate you're given will hinge on your credit score. But that's something that can be fixed with having a higher income once you're working - pay off credit cards, bills, etc. Just try your best not to dig yourself into a hole during school - it's hard not having income and its so easy to use plastic to buy now.
