How to use this student loan review
Ascent belongs in your shortlist only if its final quote beats at least two competing offers.
Some approval or fee assumptions are missing, so treat this as observed-rate mode until the lender quote is final.
Use federal student loans first when protections matter; compare private loans only for remaining gaps or refinancing.
