Interest rate with co-borrower

Hi everyone, although I know this is a question better suited for a loan officer, I was wondering if anyone knew. When there is a borrower and a co-borrower on a mortgage, who determines the interest rate, the person with the higher score or the one with the lower score? My husband and I are abount 20 points apart on the mid mortgage score. We are both high enough where I dont worry about qualifing, I'm more concerned about the interest rate.

Re: Interest rate with co-borrower

The lowest middle score of the applicants is used for qualifying purposes. Conventional mortgage interest rates are score sensitive. FHA interest rates are not nearly as sensitive to your scores.
