   Oh my gosh! This post is so much longer than I even thought it was. I'm sorry! Comments still incredibly appreciated, but I'll totally understand if I don't get any. Who would have time to read all this? :) I guess I had a lot bottled up....

   Hi all, So, I'm freaking out, and trying to figure out whether to stay in my nursing program or not. I know my post is kind of long, so I put a few bullet points up top. For those of you willing to read through, there's all the background informatio...

   Has anyone who received the finalist e-mail actually gotten word that they've been approved for the scholarship? I got the finalist e-mail more than a month ago, and since then, I haven't heard anything. Nobody I talk to at the Customer Service Cente...

   Also, still wondering about the location of folks who say that there are lots of qualifying facilities near them. I'm in central Virginia, and there's basically nothing within 3 hours. I don't have kids yet, so I'm willing to relocate, but I'm just w...

   I'm nearly positive that your credit has nothing to do with it. As long as you haven't defaulted on a federal loan (like school loans, etc.) or some other court ordered payment (child support...) then you should be fine. Having a bunch of credit card...

   Julesmama, could you tell me what area you're in? It seems like nothing near me counts.....

   I in no way meant to be saying there were "so few applicants"....I'm really sorry if that's how it came off. I just thought I had read that last year there were 6000 something applicants, and this year there were around 2500. Obviously that's still a...

   Weird, though...when I log on to accept the award, it says that I'm a finalist, which doesn't actually guarantee the award....and then, yeah, asks for my banking information. So I don't really get it. I'm I in, am I a finalist, what?! Also, seems lik...

   Yup, I just got an e-mail saying I'd been awarded. Freaking out. I'm in Massachusetts, last name L, Accelerated Bachelors.

    Last name starts with L, so right in the middle.

    In answer to an earlier question, I used quizzle.com to check my credit, and I found it under "Credit Report" and then "Credit Inquiries". But, like I said earlier, creditkarma.com didn't show an inquiry at all. I don't think anyone should lose hope ...

    I've heard of "creditsesame.com" but never used it. Good luck!

    It's strange---I've been checking creditkarma.com like a mad-woman, and haven't seen any credit inquiries...but when I just got an account with another free credit report site (quizzle.com) they reported that I had my credit pulled on July 15th by CB...

    I've been checking creditkarma.com, which is free and supposedly doesn't harm your credit by checking a million times a day, which I certainly have been. I don't know much about credit scores and whether creditkarma would actually pick up on your cr...

    For what it's worth, even though our deadline got delayed, our applications were still due a day before last year's....I looked at the application packet for 2012, and the due date is May 8th. Anyway, just some hope that perhaps we'll start seeing c...
