   How do you all plan on repaying your loans? I am looking into federal loan forgiveness, but Trump's proposed bill could do away with loan forgiveness. I'm curious to see what else there is available.

    arockenhaus1 replied to yh1991's topic in School Programs

    I still haven't received a decision letter! I called them just now and was told that my application is still being reviewed and they would send it out when they're done. All they could do is confirm that they have everything they need from me.

    What did you apply for? I'm feeling the same way! I know I shouldn't look into it, but here I am, getting more excited. I applied for the specialty AGAC-NP route.

    I haven't received an email either. In fact, out of the 5 programs I've applied to, I've heard from Simmons the least. I received the initial, "Thanks for applying" email, but nothing after that.
