Which student loan should I pay off first? Need advice

I’m trying to pay off my student loans while I’m still in school and working a part-time job, but I’m not sure which loan I should tackle first.

Here are my current balances and interest rates: 1. $2,963.00 — 6.530% 2. $451.00 — 6.530% 3. $2,655.89 — 6.530% 4. $3,683.59 — 6.530% 5. $2,213.00 — 6.390% 6. $3,026.23 — 6.390%

Total balance: $14,992.71

I’d like to pay them off in a smart order, but not sure which loans I should focus on.

For people who’ve managed student loans before: Which order would you pay these off in, and why? Any advice, strategies, or personal experiences would really help.
