Try and apply to Discover IT card. I have about $4,500 credit limit.

i tried and tried to apply for a loan. and i keep on getting denied with cosigner and everything. i also tried to apply for credit cards in wells fargo, chase and citibank and i also got denied.

i had capital one before but i dont owe any money now and i closed it.

im trying to apply for a salliemae loan for a private nursing school because community college here in california is impossible to get in.

please help me. i dont know what to do. i dont know why i keep getting denied. is it because of my credit score? (altho i really doubt it)

i got approve with DACA and my SS says its onl y valid for working. and its going to expire next year. i figured i should go ahead and go to a private school and get my degree so when my working permit expires i have a degree.

help me. anybody here that has a salliemae loan?

I know not all schools have separate funds but since private schools have deeper pockets they too might provide aid for international students.
