-- Posted by omgnowayyy at 5:04 pm on June 25, 2009 So, I checked my FAFSA status online, and I've received a couple of grants. Now that's all it says, nothing about work study or loans, will this be something that will be offered to me as the school year approaches (I've e-mailed the financial aid office about this but haven't heard a response). I also havent officially received a letter from my school either. MORE IMPORTANT QUESTION: I have very very minimal credit, and my father has very very poooor credit, how hard will it be for me to get student loans without a co-signer? I need to come up with 10,000 somehow =[ -- Posted by Thanantos at 5:13 pm on June 25, 2009 Well it is going to be really hard. What you need to do is what i am going to do. Get a hp laptop online you make $21.00 payments every month and it will help with that. -- Posted by omgnowayyy at 5:22 pm on June 25, 2009 Quote: from Days Of The New at 7:13 pm on June 25, 2009 Well it is going to be really hard.

I have a store credit card from where I work and always am good with that. Now where exactly will you be getting your laptop from? Should I go from the hp website or somewhere like Best Buy? Also, isn't there some sort of approval/credit process to even be able to do a payment plan? -- Posted by Thanantos at 5:25 pm on June 25, 2009 Quote: from omgnowayyy at 5:22 pm on June 25, 2009 Quote: from Days Of The New at 7:13 pm on June 25, 2009 Well it is going to be really hard.

But you just buy it. And i don't think you have to do oanything like that. -- Posted by omgnowayyy at 5:29 pm on June 25, 2009 Quote: from Days Of The New at 7:25 pm on June 25, 2009 Quote: from omgnowayyy at 5:22 pm on June 25, 2009 Quote: from Days Of The New at 7:13 pm on June 25, 2009 Well it is going to be really hard.

I dont want to risk not getting approved because it does lower your credit score a little every time you apply for something. I guess I'll just talk to a financial adviser about all of this. :( thank you for your response -- Posted by Thanantos at 5:39 pm on June 25, 2009 Quote: from omgnowayyy at 5:29 pm on June 25, 2009 Quote: from Days Of The New at 7:25 pm on June 25, 2009 Quote: from omgnowayyy at 5:22 pm on June 25, 2009 Quote: from Days Of The New at 7:13 pm on June 25, 2009 Well it is going to be really hard.
