law school financing...

[cal]

anybody on this board pay completely for their law school education to a private law school?

im in midst of getting some loans to cover the part of the tuition that federal financial aid doesnt cover which is a good 10,000.
now i need to get almost 15,000 a year for living expenses.

its really difficult with almost no credit rating. i have a medium rating...not good or bad.

i might have to use a relative as cosigner...my parents essentially dont exist...

id like to hear some experiences...

use sallie mae or law access and get a co-signer. Your credit rating will then be irrelevant.

Don't know about law school financing, but co-signing would definitely be the way to go in order to circumvent a credit rating hurdle. My dad co-signed for my first major credit card when I got my first part-time job and my credit limit ended up being higher than my salary... woohoo. =)
