2. Finanial Aid, Marital Status

   ChCkBzk replied to mvanz9999's topic in Post Graduate

   Yes, you can still take out the same amount of financial aid, but your income changes whether it's subsidized or unsubsidized. If you are really broke, like myself, then you can get part of your loans subsidized. I just fille out my FAFSA form and ...

   The one NP I know who graduated from Vanderbilt who lives in my area is constantly being recruited. She was a direct entry student. I guess it depends on where you go after you graduate.

9. Vanderbilt Applicants?

   ChCkBzk replied to starryeyed's topic in Post Graduate

   I haven't been able to fill out the form either. I keep wondering if I should email somebody to ask what I should do. Money sounds good to me! On the website it says something about a minimum composit GRE score of 1000 and something like a 4.5 on t...
