University of Oklahoma-Accelerated BSN Program

Congrats to everyone! I'm an alternate, so I guess I still have to keep my fingers crossed!

Don't get me started on the whole financial aid process! I had PAID off an old law school loan but it still shows up on NSLDS! Been dealing with various agencies for the last five months. Unbelievable how the government's right hand doesn't let the left hand know what's going on for fear of losing it's power position.

OU can't offer ANY financial aid (not even loans) until the NLSDS records are cleared. Again.... have been trying to get it cleared for 5 months! Banks, the govmt, and all involved ADMIT that it's their fault for not updating the info back in 2005, but for some unknown reason, getting the correct info onto NSLDS has been impossible!

So for the gal who is an alternate.....if the govt does get it's act together before school starts....you just MAY get my space. There'd be absolutely no hard feeling directed towards you....'cuz "everything always works out for our own best interest whether we can see it at the time or not" if I may quote my own earlier post.

But, I'm not going down without now threatening/pursuing a lawsuit if I have to. (recall that the paid school loan still showing up was from attending law school!)

Okay...I'm only human...NOW I'm starting to get worried! Wouldn't that just be "something" to get accepted for the Fall term, but unable to attend because of a FAFSA/NSLDS record mix-up?! Eventually, it'll all get worked out, but it may not be "in my time" as usual. I may HAVE to wait until Spring, depending on how OU decides to deal with the issue. Yet another test of Faith and Fortitude....aaaaarrrggh.

All positive thoughts/prayers for my continued positive attitude in this matter would be much appreciated.
