I think I have decided not to go with Sallie Mae before you both even said anything just from what people have told me and looking at the website. I am glad to hear that my assumptions were correct. I will be using a part 61 school because my total hours (150ish logged) do not truly make sense for me to go to a 141 school. I talked a guy who ran a 141 school and he said for my instrument and commercial I would have to be dropped from the 141 standards and take my checkrides as part 61. So I decided not to use 141. Additionally I work for a part 61 flight school with a pretty good discount (about 15-20%).

Has anyone used the Wachovia education loan? I am using them right now for my college financing and I am sure I could borrow a wee bit more. I did read yesterday that a person trying to get a Wachovia loan wrote that they were not giving out flight loans anymore, but other people said that was not true.
