<p>You really can’t “do” anything more. </p>
<p>I know that you’re concerned. She will get $4k more in loans if her parents get denied Plus. However, she’s not going to be able to get any private loans because her parents aren’t qualified to co-sign. Hopefully, she’s going to pursue that route very soon (applying for private loans) and she’ll soon see that no one is going to lend her that extra money.</p>
<p>$8,000 upfront payment (My friend needs to loan this amount as well)</p>
<p>BTW…she needs to “borrow” this amount, not “loan” this amount. She’s not loaning money to anyone. She’s borrowing.</p>
