Creditors can make their own determination in how to evaluate deferred student loans on your credit report. Generally, deferred payments are much better then delinquent payments. Debts that must be repaid in the future are still debts though, and the amount of debt you have may effect whether or not you are granted additional credit.

What will 'in grace' status student loans do to your credit score and will it lower your score if you consolidate the student loans?
Does "in grace" mean in deferment? Deferred student loans do affect your debt-to-income ratio. Even in deferment they are factored into how much you owe. Many current and former students do not take the responsibility to keep their loan companies notified of their enrollment status, thinking that their financer will somehow just know that they are still in school. This more than any other factor causes credit problems on student loans. Anytime you open any kind of credit account, there is generally an inquiry which CAN affect your credit score. There is also a "hit" in the risk indicator of having a new account. Those factors are overcome quickly and as long as you pay the new, consolidated, account on time and keep your status updated; it should have little affect on your credit to consolidate.
Can you file chapter 7 and not include your student loans in the bankruptcy since they are in deferment and also continue getting student loans while in college?
I believe that student loans are a category of debt that is not dischargable in bankruptcy. The bankruptcy will show up on any credit reports, and you may subsequently be unable to et additional loans. I filed for bankrupcy in 1998. I was able to obtain Student Loans despite the bankruptcy in 1999-2000. My past credit history was not considered when determining my student loan application.
