- eszed 2y agoAh, fair point. My 2008 graduate school loans were 6.8%, when the prime rate was 3-something%, so I'm reacting to old grudges. (And, of course, much higher interest rates, which I still haven't thoroughly assimilated.) Looks like the formula changed ~10 years ago, which is a good thing. I retract my previous comment. Thank you.
