No. The terms of a private loan can vary widely depending on your credit score.
One of the private loan options for my school had interest rates anywhere from PRIME-0.75%/0% origination fee/0% repayment fee to PRIME+6.50%/5% origination fee/5% repayment fee depending on your credit history.

thanks for the response, but i think you may have misunderstood me
if i get prime at lawloans- will i more than likely get prime everywhere else i go? its based on credit score, so if one gives you 10%, then they will all give you around 10% right?

Oh. I see now.
Every loan institution has a different risk tolerance, so I do not think that you'll get the exact same interest rate at each lender. While I wouldn't expect that you'll find differences of several percent, even one percent would be worth your while. You should look around.
