Hi Fellow Nurses!
Is anyone else anxiously awaiting the 2017 cycle opening?
I have applied several times and praying that 2017 is my year. I'm tier 1 - not faculty and not an NP.
Is anyone else out there?

I called credco. They said they dont know about it.
Credit repair maintains that there is a hard knock.
My mortgage said they did not do it
Its difficult to know

Credco is the 3rd party company that checks for the NCLRP process. Don't stress. It is around this time that they begin confIrming student loan debt by checking your credit history. If I'm not mistaken my credit check took place in April last year.

My understanding is, that is a good sign. Don't stress.

I have not received a credit check yet either. I'll be monitoring it through creditkarma, hoping the credit inquiry will come soon. From what I understand, this doesn't necessarily mean you'll get the repayment, but NOT getting a credit inquiry means you won't get it.

I applied last year did not get the award, RN MH score 17, D/I 180%. I had a credit check show up on Equifax credit report only.
CREDCO on April 19, 2016.

I applied last cycle and was denied and when I enquired as to why I didn't make the cut this was the
response. I thought I was tier 1 with a debt-to-ratio of 150% I wanted to know if I filled my app out wrong so I could fix it this cycle.
The NURSE Corps is a very competitive program that receives thousands of applications - from dedicated nurses, such as your-self, who provide health care to the underserved of our Nation - each year. Your debt-to-salary ratio was 65.00%/ Level 2 Tier. For the 2016 NURSE Corps funding cycle, all funds for Registered Nurses were depleted at the debt-to-salary ratio of 170.90% Level 1 Tier.
Each year, NURSE Corps funding has been depleted at different levels for each pool of applicants .

CJLogel-
That is very interesting that you had a different percentage than they did. Now I am wondering if we all have looked it the wrong way...for me, I would have thought I was in Tier 1 the last 3-4 years!!! I just don't understand how different these numbers could be.
As I stated last year, I wish when we logged into portal, it would just tell us how they calculated our D/I ratio, what tier we are in, and how many people have applied. That way, for those without a shot in the dark, we wouldn't waste time stressing over the whole process! Gah!
Better communication from the program administrators would help us so much!
Good luck!!!
No I figured wrong on the d/I ratio. I did believe I was tier 1, not 2. I owe $44000. I still applied for this cycle.
Turns out that I have not gotten a credit check.
It was my mortgage.

@babyz : sorry about the disappointment
However, does anyone know what happens if your salary changes during the "under review" period? I wonder if that would make it look like I lied on my application and disqualify me?

There should be a place in the applicant portal to ask this question. I would be up front with your income information. I'm sure it wouldn't look like you lied as long as you updated the information accordingly. Whether this disqualified you or not I have no idea. I hope that this isn't the case but if your income is now lower your chances of being awarded would increase. Good luck!
