AltruisticRN

I'm getting excited can't wait to meet you guys!

Hey I'm going to a pretty expensive school here but tuition is going to cost me around $60,000-$70,000 I believe for the 28 month 40 credit hour program. Books and supplies I'm guessing to be around $1,550. I am fortunate enough to live in a cheap apartment that costs only $400/mo in rent with gas and electric around 30-100 each a month depending on the time of year. Cable and internet $100/mo. I'm going to try and defer my undergrad student loans but if I can't that's another $300/mo. My car payment is $315/mo. cell phone $50/mo. Food $100-150/mo. Biyearly and yearly expenses are renter's insurance $110/yr. Car insurance $500/q6mo. There are some other expenses I'm not including here but need to think of such as renewing my RN license, car maintenance and gas, and some others. Hope this gives you a good idea. My health insurance is covered by the clinical site I chose but no dental or vision plan. Oh yeah, I'm single with no dependents so I have no help here it's all on me.

Oh did anyone else receive their letter about registering for classes?

I'm guessing I will be coming out of the program with $100,000 to $120,000 in loans. Lyela- I think we are just worried b/c lenders are not as willing to lend now-a-days and the fact that you cannot work gives you nothing to fall back on. Personally I have been saving up to prepare for this, but definitely no where near what it costs to attend Case. I am single and don't have a spouse's income or health insurance to count on either. As much as a worry about fin aid it doesn't hinder my desire to attend Case. I haven't heard of a student dropping out of the program b/c they were unable to afford it but worriers will still worry, like myself.

Some one told me there is not much we can do until July. I already filed my FAFSA. I also heard that we don't get government loans for the last 12 months of the program b/c we will no longer be in classes just clinicals. YUCK!

The only reason you would have heard from them this early is if they really liked or hated you. I agree if you haven't heard anything take it as a good sign that you are still being considered for this yrs class.

Anyone having any luck finding scholarships, there's not much out there

Rumor is that Case has filled all of their spots and has picked five alternates for 2010.

Thanks! They notified me by snail mail.

Just found out I got into YSU, This makes it hard. Have to choose.

I got into Case so I am leaning towards attending there since I feel like I bombed my YSU interview. I'm not holding my breath anymore, it's nice knowing I'm in somewhere. Good luck you guys I can't wait to here good news from everyone.

Thanks, I want to do my clinicals at CCF b/c I already work there. Only 15mins away from my place. Can't wait to meet everyone!

Found out Tuesday I was accepted. Two other people that applied from my unit got wait listed. All of us interviewed last Thursday and had letters by this Wed.

Oh and SCVICURN, you are so right about wanting to throw up after

So I felt my interview went well, everyone was very nice and I liked how they had senior students greet you. They told me that I should hear from them in a couple of weeks. They had a stack of files like you wouldn't believe. I wonder how many people applied this year.
