both Sallie Mae:
variable: from 2.5% to 7.51%
fixed: from 5.74% - 8.56%

my federal loans are maxed out @ $20,500 per year x 3 years = $61,500
plan to borrow an additional $7,500 this summer and summer of 2018 = $15,000

total = $76,500

plan to pay them off within the first full year after I graduate (end of 2019).
should I just get the fixed and be done with it?
these are graduate school loans so they are even shittier than undergrad

What job are you getting that will pay 6 figures out of grad school?

You need a 3 year post grad degree for that?

You can do it as an undergrad. I went to LSU from high school so it's quicker to do it as a graduate program. Plus I get a masters degree
