The APR tracks your credit score rather than Northrop's rank of 636th in Minnesota: a strong file may earn a single-digit rate, while damaged credit can push the rate far higher. Shortening the term on a Northrop loan raises the monthly payment but cuts the interest; lengthening it does the reverse.
