Security-backed student loans?

Anyone have any experience or thoughts on using security-backed loans to cover MBA expenses? I should be able to pick up about $100k in loans backed by my investments at about a point less than standard student loans.

I'd still need standard student loans to bridge the difference, but it seems like a decent way to save some money on the rate while continuing to grow my portfolio. Obviously there's extra downside risk if we experience a serious correction in the next couple years. Hoping to hear from anyone who's either done this or looked into it.
