The problem is the way "financial need" is determined. It is based upon my salary this year while I am a working 5th grade teacher. So, although I won't have a job while going through the program, I make too much this year to qualify for grants this upcoming school year.

I'm worried about that, too, I'll be quitting my job as a financial analyst, so our income will be cut in half...

I did just call TCU's nursing department. They confirmed that acceptance letters will go out "in the next week or two."

GOOD LUCK! It's going to be a loooooong couple of weeks...

As a single parent, my income will be cut to nothing. I just don't know if it'll be doable... although I am not giving up yet.

Did you talk to TCU's financial aid department? Most private universities have very good ones (or so I've heard, anyways), since very few students can afford to pay full tuition out-of-pocket.

They should be able to help you find scholarships/loans/grants, let you know how much you'll be able to borrow, etc.

Please let us know when you hear from TCU! Good luck!

Wow...a week or two. I really wasn't expecting to hear anything for at least another month. This is going to be the longest two weeks.

Good luck to you both. Maybe we'll end up in nursing school together. Keep me posted. I'm Holly, BTW.

Hey ya'll! I am in the traditional track nursing program at TCU. I'll be graduating in December! Just wanted to say good luck to y'all and if ya'll have any questions about classes or anything feel free to ask! They are also pretty good with offering scholarships. I received one as a new trasfer without even applying (it was from the essay you have to write to get into TCU). They give me $3250 a semester, which isn't much but it sure does help. Hopefully ya'll will be able to get some. I know how ya'll feel. I'll be in loan debt up to my eyeballs by the time I graduate! (Luckily none of that is credit cards though- lol)

Thanks panzy30-
I have never been as nervous as I have been waiting to hear if I got into the program. That is great that you were able to get a scholarship...every little bit counts! I have to admit, the cost of tuition has really been weighing heavily on me. I keep wondering if I am crazy to go into so much debt. However, the thought of being through with a nursing program in 15 months almost makes it worth it...for me, anyway.

You must be so excited being so close to the "finish line"! Good luck. I may be getting back to you if I get in just to see if you've got any advice.

CONGRATS, HOLLY!!!

Dang it, this is the disadvantage of mail that comes late in the day. (Usually around FOUR - how am I going to make it that long?!)

Excuse me while my dog and I locate the postman and chase him down the street...
(I'll take the dog so maybe will think I'm chasing her chasing the postman...right? LOL)
