West Coast University Question!

Hi,

I am hoping to apply to the BSN program at the OC campus, but am wanting to know what credit score you need to qualify for the large loan without needing a cosigner. Would anyone be willing to provide insight?

Generally speaking, a minimum credit score of 720 from all three reporting bureaus (Transunion, Experion, Equifax) will enable you to borrow all the money you want unsecured without a cosigner.

However, West Coast University's southern Californian campuses charge $132,000+ for the generic BSN program. Even if you 'only' had to borrow $70,000 to $100,000 to attend due to transfer credits, I still advise against doing so. Good luck to you.

PLEASE find another school. You cannot imagine the burden that type of debt will have on your ability to purchase a home, take a vacation or put your kids through college 10-20 years down the road. Even if you wait five more years to enroll in an inexpensive school, you will not have your future dictated by the terms of a loan agreement you signed in the vain hope of expediency. Look at who REALLY hires grads of this school as well.
