She is not claiming me and has not for several years, but FAFSA still classifies me as a dependent. The exception to the rule are pretty extreme. I'd have to be homeless, abused by my parents, etc. This is not even remotely close to my situation; I j...
Hello, just hoping someone can put this into perspective for me, or maybe just offer some input or support. I just got accepted into my local community college's nursing program. I live in a very large city so I know that an ASN will not be enough to...

I kinda messed up when I started college and had a 2.3 GPA. I went back to school last summer and fall (4 classes total - I also work full time) and raised my GPA to a 3.0 by getting three A's and a B. If you're going full time, that is pretty big in...

Thank you! I noticed that your enrollment profile changed to nursing - if you don't mind me asking, how long did it take after you took your AHT test? I feel confident but now I am just curious! edited to add: Great job!

Thank you! That makes me feel a little better. I guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens. I would say "good luck" but with 9 points, I am not sure you need it! Congrats :)

I'm really nervous and confused about the "first come first serve" thing. The info booklet states that 9's, 8's, and 7's will be "offered admission in descending order as space allows." I assumed that they would wait until the application deadline an...
