If by chance your school denies you for a defaulted loan, as long as your have made 6 months in payments the Department of Education can give you a default clear letter to give to your school and they will waive it for you. Don't worry, you'll be okay! as long as you either made 6 months consecutive payments or paid it off you'll be okay.
