I applied last cycle and was unsuccessful even thought my debt to income ratio should have pushed me over the top. My advice: don't get your hopes up. Apply as early as possible. First come, first served in other words.

What was your facility's score? Yes I am trying to get mine in ASAP just waiting on my employment verification.

I applied last year...but due to issues with it saying my social security number was already in the system I couldn't complete my application until 2 days before the program closed. I think I was at the bottom of the pile and didn't even get looked at. I literally JUST submitted my application so I hope this year I get a better chance. I work at a Critical Shortage Facility with a score of 18.

What is your debt to income percentage? I submitted mine yesterday I know the deadline isn't until February 25, but I wanted to make sure it was submitted ASAP. My facilities score is 21 and me debt to income percentage is 260%. So I'm really hoping I get it.

I believe I am Tier 2 based on my income. Last year I was Tier 1...but I saw that Tier 2 people were getting funded. I am not certain, but it appears that they sift through the applications in the order they get them. I (and others) thought they got all of the applications and then took the Tier 1 applicants until the monies had been exhausted. I don't really know. I am just hoping that I get picked this year!
