I graduate Med School in may. Are there any options out there for lowering my interest rate from 6.8%?

Ive been getting several emails from fed loan recently but they only lower it by 0.5%. Just be careful. If you combine them with other debt you will have a hard time qualifying for repayment programs. Wish I could find a better refinance rate...

It depends on who your loans are from, but guessing its a stafford and I don't think you can or the benefit is smalll ... I'm fixing to embark on this debt myself...and not looking forward to it

Congrats on getting through med school. 
Never had the brains or the balls to even attempt something like that.

Do people actually fail med school?
Just would seem weird since you have to be so good on everything and go above and beyond to get in. It would seem that process would do an outstanding job on weeding out the weak willed.

How much did you borrow?

If they are federally backed loans, consolidate them into a Direct Lending Consolidation Loan. Do that during the six month deferment period after graduation.
