Linfield College - Paying for tuition for accelerated program

[Tobygo2]

Hi all,

I'm a little confused over financial aid when going for a second bachelor's degree. I want to attend Linfield's accelerated nursing program that starts this summer but I need to find a way to pay for it all. I already have a bachlor's degree but didn't use federal loans for it. For those of you who are going to second bachelor's degrees how do you pay for them? Federal loans, private loans (are they easy to get)?? Any help would be great as I'm starting to get a bit panicky! I don't want to turn down my first choice school because I can't get loans

Thanks in advance!!

Has anyone applied for the MedCAP loan at Wells Fargo? They said I qualified for a 6% rate which sounds pretty good nowadays but I was hoping that with my credit score at 741 I could get even lower. Does anyone know if I should push it or look somewhere else?

Monkey Duty, I know that you posted a long time ago, but the federal student loan rates that I've seen are a little over 6%, so if Wells Fargo offered you a private loan at 6% that sounds like an amazing offer. Then again, shopping around almost always pays.
