MBCRNA

I also received my rejection letter today.

Does this mean they have halted choosing applicants for this cycle or is it talking about the possibility of not having the program in 2014?

My status is still under review

Nothing here...

My facility score is 15 (tier 1) and 129% (qualified loan debt:income)

I am also a CRNA and have heard nothing...

People are selected until Sept 30th. People are notified of denial in Oct. it looks like people were still notified of initial award sept 10, 11 so on last year. Good luck just a couple of weeks now.

Still nothing...

Nothing here..."under review", CRNA, Tier 1, 129%

I wonder if they are backed up like last year...

No changes...

I hope the 24 hr maintenance scheduled for today is related to a bunch of people getting awards next week. There hasn't been many people on here talking about receiving awards. My login looks exactly the same "under review" & no extra files, etc. good luck all- not much longer...

Still nothing here..."under review"

Calculate by (qualified student loan)/salary x 100

Still "under review", CRNA, tier 1 (HPSA 15), debt: income- 129%.

Answer: You have to go to the Nurse Corps portal & login

I have been following the posts from this thread for months now. I have also read through all of 2012 thread. My application says "under review" and has since like the day after applying. I finished the application the last day. I don't have a credit check or anything on the application in the portal. Here's my info: DSH,MUA (all 4 yes); HPSA primary 15, mental health 13, dental 18. I am a CRNA with debt:salary of 129%. I hope we hear good news soon! Congrats to those who've heard & good luck to those who have yet to hear. Fingers crossed

UPDATE: Monticello Student Loan is also offered through PNC. It is deferrable and is not certified through school. I think the max you can get is 40,000/yr. This is the last company that I have found. Good luck to all

UPDATE: The Laurel Collegiate Loan is deferrable, not certified through school.

UPDATE: CHASE has a direct-to-consumer loan payed directly to student without school certification. The problem here is that there are only SOME states that offer this loan.

Okay- I know there is probably a lot of worriers out there who have just been extremely excited about being accepted to CRNA school (me too), but now have realized===oh crap, I need some money! I will have one less income for up to 3 yrs--ouch! Before the financial meltdown of the country, I wasn't too worried about getting loans to pay off school. They were there. Here recently, I have been struggling to find places that are giving the type of loans that I am interested in: Here is a breakdown- Okay- 1) You'll qualify and get easily federal stafford loans (after you fill out fafsa). They are subsidized and unsubsidized. The subsidized are based on your income and carry a lower interest rate. You can get up to 20, 500 in a combination of subsidized/unsubsidized or just unsubsidized (they don't look at your income- has a higher interest rate but good). 2) Now as you may have realized 20, 500 doesn't pay for your cost of living and total (etc of what it might be). So you have the option of Grad Plus Loan. It will pay for school up to COA (Cost of Attendance). So, here your tuition/fees/books/etc are paid, but what about those folks that are paying for mortgages that are on the higher side that are more than the COA or other bills that you won't be able to pay-- well, there is something called direct-to-consumer or direct-to-borrower loans. These were the loans that I wasn't worried about getting just only 6 months ago. Now, they are almost non-existant. These loans are based on your credit, private, and paid directly to you in a lump sum- and not certified through school (so the school doesn't know about it-and shouldn't). These will not be based on your cost of attendance. So, yes, they'll pay for your "real expenses" that most people in our position have. So, I looked through all of the loans listed in the sticky notes on this site referenced from 2005-2007. Most are non-existant now and the ones that still exist are only certified through school so they are calculated in the cost of attendance. I think I may have found a couple thus far. Anyone who finds more, please post! These are questions many people have. 1) Campus Door does a direct to consumer- NON CERTIFIED THROUGH SCHOOL, DEFERRABLE, PAID to student 45 days prior to enrollment. Here is the link http://www.campusdoor.com/main/loanproducts.aspx?action=dlmain 2) I believe Wells Fargo is still doing there Wells Fargo Education Loan that is NOT CERTIFIED THROUGH SCHOOL, DEFERRABLE, PAID to student. These are basically the ONLY ones that I have come across. As I find new ones, I will post them. Please do the same!

Just some advice- You'll fill out the FAFSA then: You'll either get subsidized or unsubsidized federal loans (deferrable) up to 20, 500. Then, you can get a private loan or a grad plus loan to pay up to the COA provided by the school (cost of attendance). Many people in the past have gotten direct to borrower private student loans (not certified by school- school doesn't know about it so it is above COA). Here lately, I have been unable to find any student loans that aren't certified through the school and/or based on COA. Sallie Mae at this time doesn't have one. I checked their site. Wells Fargo MIGHT if you qualify. You best try to get this before you quit work b/c it r/t to your credit history and salary. Hopefully more will come available soon...its looking pretty bad though. You shouldn't have any prob getting your loan to cover COA and living expenses are listed in this via the school. You're next question though- is this enough to live on for the semester?

Bank Of America No Longer Taking Apps At This Time

Suntrust - UPDATE- BASED ON COA (COST OF ATTENDANCE) Bank of America - NOT ACCEPTING PRIVATE LOANS NEXT STUDENT- NOT ACCEPTING NEW APPS DUE TO CURRENT CREDIT MARKET. PNC Bank - THIS WAS EITHER CERTIFIED THROUGH SCHOOL OR BASED ON COA Sallie Mae- CERTIFIED THROUGH SCHOOL

In response to the initial loans offered back in 2005, there are near none at this time for private student loans that not certified and that do not count in COA. If anyone has any luck with getting a non certified (doesn't go through school, is deferrable, and doesn't count in COA, please let me know as soon as possible! TIA
