on what basis are these decisions overturned, ie financial hardship, or unforseen circumstances? for example, you took out loans for a semester, but couldn't continue class that semester for an illness or a death in the family and now that money was...

accepted as an alternate. which is why my line still says "wish me luck!" but if i am accepted, i would start august 30th. please lord! topcat

that was just for my bachelor's degree in finance. the msn will probably take another $50,000 - $25,000 for school, $25,000 to live. aegirl, i sure hope i get one of those jobs, i'm gonna need it!:chuckle topcat

be careful! and this is why i'm in the mess i'm in now. yes, you most definitely can do it and i have - to make a deposits on apts and car payments and such. but there is a limit - as an independent student you can only take out $46,000 total as an...

i checked out the book from the library. the library book was a bit outdated, so i bith a barron's mini-book - updates to the gre for $8.95. i downloaded the gre prep software from the gre site. i studied two weeks prior to my test date. i scored ...

started with business policy and strategy 2 weeks ago - i am finishing my bs in finance. i'm glad that i will be focusing on that class solely for the first few weeks, as it is pretty tough. i start the rest - microbiology online, a&p i and ii ...

nope. since it's considered a second degree, you only are allowed financial aid for the last two years, your junior and senior year. since you already have a degree, you don't need to redo your freshman and sophomore years, so you don't get the who...

keeping fingers and toes crossed! topcat

thank goodness your parents were prepared! i went back to school when i "grew up" :chuckle and "paid" my own way via loans. credit rating has absolutely no bearing on the federal student loan amounts i mentioned above. if you take out private loan...

this is what my financial aid officer at my current school told me. i am finishing my bs in finance this summer. unfortunately, because i am reaching the aggregate level for undergraduate degree, i will be coming out of my own pocket this summer and...

i too am sorry to hear that...how awful. how about going old school with "we are the world" or "that's what friends are for"? topcat

my husband and i went fishing in the rv. the state run campground cost $13 per night. we ate what we caught, so groceries, even with breakfast and lunch were kept to a minimum. i think the whole trip cost about $500-$600 even with gas. even if you...

if it helps...the school that i am an alternate for, western u, requires that you have at least one year of nursing experience before you graduate with the msn. after finishing the first year of nursing courses and while working on the master's part...

sounds like the school that i am an alternate for - western u in pomona? suzanne - how can annabelle get experience in that area if she can't get hired in that area without experience? the old catch-22! yes, the msn programs make you choose a sp...

thank you for staying in dallas, ned! i would be scared if you were in any of my classes here in california! topcat

i was assuming, based on the op's age, that she already had a bachelor's degree and was looking to make a change to nursing. that is why i responded as i did. no worries! :) topcat
