Guest hash Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 So would it be a good idea to wait till orientation week to get an LOC? Will the banks be offerring anything extra?... or is it simply the convenience factor? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cowgirl Jenn Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 During O-week, the banks will all be in one place at the same time...so it makes things a bit easier for "comparison shopping". Above and beyond that, I don't think there are any added benefits of waiting until O-week to get your LOC....except that it may help you refrain from using it to fund some of your summer activities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jas001 Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 I actually went into RBC last week and signed my LOC. I did quite a bit of research (this site has quite a bit too..) and came up with the following: all banks basically have the same terms and conditions (ie. a lending rate of prime, principle payments don't have to be made until after residency etc. etc.) the difference with RBC is that they give the largest amount UPFRONT (150,000..meaning you don't have to apply each year for more ) and they probably have the best perks along with your LOC (a no annual fee gold card with whatever limit you want which is reguarly $120 per annum and you don't have to pay any monthly bank fees). The best part is that if you refer another med student and they sign a LOC at RBC they'll credit your saving/checking account with $100. The @#%$ part for me.....this would've worked out to my advantage if I would've started 2 years ago when I got in and actually knew other people starting med as well. jas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
