I am currently in deferrment and have over a dozen subsidized loans are not accruing any interst (yet).  All have the same term and interest rate once I come out of deferrment.  At this time it is of no benefit to me to consolidate (my interest rate would actually have gone up). My question is, what is the best order to make early payments on these loans for months that i have a little money left over?

1) Pay the big ones off first to be left with several mid & small size loans when I come out of deferrment
2) Pay the little ones off first to be left with a couple heftier loans when I come out of deferrment
3) Pay a little on all of them so that i’m left wtih over a dozen small loans when I come out of deferrment

I realize that with the same interest rate this will likely make little difference to my total amount paid.  However, I am curious whether there may be other consequences to my credit rating or whether it will make any difference to how my consolidation rate is calculated once I come out of deferrment.

Thanks
