I have a Fico score of 568 and rising. What are the chances of getting an auto loan with a low down payment?

We Answered:

I wouldn't know.....I am still trying to figure out why a bank offered me a APR of 25% on a vehicle that cost $12,999 for 60 monhts and my credit score is 640. I think most of these banks and financing companies are out to rip certain people, with certain credit scores, out of money. I am soooooooo very happy I did not accept that offer. It was indeed a "shark loan."

Whats the deal with student loans?

We Answered:

As long as you borrow wisely (no private student loans) you will be okay with renting and affording an apartment, buying a car, buying a house when you graduate AS LONG as you make your student loan payments on time once you graduate.

What do you think about "liberal arts" education, Private Uni's vs. Public, & these colleges...- read comments

We Answered:

"Liberal arts style" usually just means that they require a lot of core courses. This is something you'll appreciate more and more as you get older, because it's just nice to know at least a little bit about a lot of things, and college is the last chance you get until retirement to do something in depth that isn't for your career.

Honestly, Boulder is the best known of these schools, and if you do well there, it will probably open up more doors for you than the other two. It will also be easier to run a research job on campus there, since there is more research going on there.

Whether class size helps you is really dependent on your personality. If you learn well just reading the book and listening in class, then you'll do fine in a big class. If you need to ask a lot of questions, smaller classes might be better. Remember, though, that big universities usually have discussion sections with a graduate student for classes that get too big, so you will still have small sessions for the big classes.

What do you think about Regis University?

We Answered:

Since med school applications are so competitive, you must go to the school where you think that you, personally, will do best. You're going to need good grades and some applicable work/internship/co-op experience behind you, and if you feel that you may flounder at a large school, then don't go. Even if that large school is better known or has a better reputation, don't go.

With that said, the only concern I have about Regis is that it's getting a name for itself in the online degree field, which isn't necessarily a good thing. But its on campus programs seem decent, and it ranks fine in most of the rankings of schools that I've seen.

University of Denver is more competitive in terms of admissions, and my impression is that it's academic programs are stronger than those of Regis. But in reality, both seem decent schools - not the best, not the most rigorous, but decent.

With that said, U Denver seems to have more of a business focus, while Regis seems a bit more liberal arts. And call each one - which one offers a pre-med program? While not being part of a pre-med program won't necessarily hurt your chances of med school admissions, it can help offer guidance. Also, talk to each school about their percentage of students who apply to med school and get accepted - that can be telling.

U Colorado, Boulder does rank higher on the US News rankings (Linked, below), but not so much higher that, if U Denver is a better fit, I'd have you go to U Colorado instead.

In terms of rankings, I'd place them as follows:

U Colorado Boulder
U Denver
Regis

With each one being plus or minus ten places of each other, maybe.

Things being roughly equal, you should pick the one that you feel is a better fit.
