Got the mail today.....still nothing! Have you guys heard anything????

philiptu · Apr 28, 2006

nope, not at all...hehe...

Still nothing. Hopefully we'll all know by the end of this month. If any of you guys are lucky enough to be accepted, how are you guys going to pay for the 70k for two years (tuition + housing)? Loans? Scholarships? Are any of you guys planning on getting a certificate (CNS, CRNA, NP, etc.) afterwards? That's going to be another 45k at the very least. Really expensive.

They're contacting people via phone to let them know.

Got my phone call as well. Now I have to see if this is all worth the money. Congratulations everyone!

Yeah!

I got my call yesterday as well (no mail, just phone call).

What do you mean 70K?

It was my understanding it's about 11K/year for CA residents. Am I wrong?

Congrats everyone. Glad to see we all got in.

You're not wrong at all..I just factored in housing and childcare as well the tuition. Very rough estimate. Congrats on your acceptance!

Yay!!! I got my phone call today!

Is anyone taking summer school?

kim00mik · May 3, 2006

i got a call as well.

and i will be taking summer school. that online option for epidemiology is looking really good right now... esp since i don't wanna brave LA traffic 3 days a wk. UCLA students do not need to pay the $300 reg fee but we need to be accepted first before we can save that money. any one have any suggestions?

i am looking into financial aid. but i doubt i will get any since i've been working my butt off and saving money. some times life is just not fair. :) did you guys fill out the needaccess.com form?
