The examples are not all inclusive, and i am not sure but it seems like they are saying as long as you have an HPSA > 14, it then comes down to D/I ratio first. So if 2 people are in tier 1 it comes down to you d/i ration and not so much the score. I could be wrong, i think the has a changed from previous years. It looks like it says if someone has a D/I of 200% and a score of 14 they will get it before a person with D/I of 150% and a score of 20. A D/I ration of

Deediaz, you had not problem uploading your loans from the NSLD website? I am still not able to. But it sounds like its just me.

RN4KU, no my loans were uploaded without any issues.

RNdynamic, first of all, I am jealous that you have no loans. I had no loans for my BSN program but unfortunately I had to take loans for my FNP Program. It's a government program that pays up to 85% of your loans.

Yes this waiting process is going to be horrible! have you applied before?

Hey I was having issues uploading my loans, I got the same message RN4KU got using google chrome browser. I tried it with Microsoft Edge (the new explorer) and it worked.

Just did it manually, whew what a process, once i figured out what was really being asked, and uploading supporting docs it went fast, it was just complicated when you have consolidated loans that have been consolidated multiple times, i had to think really hard!! If anyone has any questions about the manual process let me know.

Good Luck, now we wait, 5 months, look for a credit check, then wait for the finalist email !!

No, this is the first time for me. Have you applied before?
