Welcome Future Yale GEPNs!!!

Hey Guys so I got my financial aid packet yesterday, anyone else? What do you all plan to do to cover the costs? Are you applying for outside scholarships or taking out private loans?

yeah, i'm also wondering where the heck mine is--I wonder if i sent everything in!? Just the Yale app. and FAFSA, right? Also, Columbia just sent me a whole bunch of stuff but not a financial aid packet! What the Heck!?

it look like we may have lost karotte indeed! as for your question about the scholarship, i don't remember exactly what they said, but i think i got more than what they quoted. although i may have just forgotten what they said. but i will be taking out a big chunk of money in private loans. the scholarship and federal loans didn't even cover the cost of tuition entirely. so be prepared!

I see you posting about me!

Yes, I received my acceptance letter to UCSF and will be starting there in June (oh my, that's soon!). The move from SoCal to SF isn't nearly as intimidating as a move to New Haven would have been, so that's a bit of a relief. Plus, I've always wanted to live in SF!

FYI, I received my Yale FinAid on Saturday. I think the scholarship was around $7500 and almost the entire rest of tuition was covered by subsidized and unsubsidized staffords, a pell grant and a nursing student loan. I think it did fall a bit short - that's where the private loans come in.

Good luck to you all!

I just got an e-mail from Yale's financial aid office that said it would take longer for them to process my 'stuff'. Seriously, I feel like this whole year has been a waiting game for me!
