Hello everyone, I am applying to LLU BSN program to start in Fall of 2018. I just wanted to start a forum and see how everyone is doing, and help each other with updates.
I actually got a call from Dora to have my interview. Does every qualifying applicant get an interview or only the potential candidates to be admitted get an interview?
Thank you

Yep, but I think it’s worth it for the quality of education you will get. I love it so far and this school wants you to succeed so they offer many resources to help you... Like I said, I had to take out private loans for what federal loans didn’t cover. Everybody qualifies for different amounts from federal, so depending on what you qualify for, you’ll need to find financing for the difference. My private loan is about 6% interest I believe and I’m not sure about the fed loan; probably about the same. I’m just glad that I have them deferred and I don’t have to worry about it until I have a job after graduation. If you really want to go to LLU, you can find a way through financing options. Like most, I didn’t think I could afford it because I literally had no help but thank goodness for loans! Hope it all works out for you. I’m happy to help answer any questions you may have ?
So glad to hear that you love the program ! Did the financial advisor at the school help you figure all this out or did you have to do it on your own ? And any thing ou recommend to get prepared beforehand for the program? Also, how do you think it will be for someone with two small kids ?

Not forgiven. Loma Linda will give u $500/mo in ur check to help pay off ur loan up to $70k, but that’s only if stay working for them of course. I don’t know y they have to charge so much to begin with! LoL just make It $60k!!

So you have to get an award letter when you complete the fafsa and all that and basically, yes the advisor told me how much I needed to take out. Also, keep in mind that I only took out what I needed to cover tuition and books/supplies so I’m not sure what your situation is and if you need more for housing and whatnot. I personally do not have children, but many of my classmates do and they do just fine.
