I found out I was eligible for an MUSC nurse loan, I might be starting in the Spring instead of deffering!!!

I am not considered "need based" since I have to use my moms tax information on my FAFSA. If you are an independent and you complete your FAFSA and it delcares you have a low EFC like 0 then you will be up for financial aid. I'm hoping when I get m...

Yes! You can email me at [email protected] :) Thank you so much!

I would call everyday and bug them to death about it. They want applicants that are ready and easy to get in touch with. They aren't going to not select you for requesting a spot staying on top of things!

I had to defer to August due to financial aid Mardi assured me I would not receive any financial aid it sucks but it gives me time to plan a little better. Good luck to everyone starting in Spring!

The scholarships are dispersed to all CON students and they start with students who have an EFC of 0. She said even if you get a scholarship it wouldn't be enough to cover expenses and tuition and to plan to take out the the full amount you will need

I would go ahead and contact Mardi Long.

So I spoke with financial aid and basically if you are a dependent as in under 24, not married, not a veteran, not homeless, not an emancipated minor then you are still considered a dependent in FAFSA standards which means you get no financial aid (i...

If you're in state idk if I would take on 80,000?

I'm meeting with financial aid today at 2:30 I'll keep everyone posted :)

Student loans are so difficult to understand because you have doctors and dentist who have bachelor degree loans and then they take out loans for over 100k to pay for medical school so I am hoping they would give out a small loan for a second bachelo...

I'm meeting with the financial aid counselor tomorrow as well. Fingers crossed its good news..I definitely don't have $35k laying around haha

I wonder if you have student loans from your first bachelors degree if you can get loans for a second bachelors?

I am definitely worried about the cost too. I have a great job in research now but it isn't where I want to be. It is definitely scary giving up a great job in hopes to have a better one :/ I will be working part-time hopefully with MUSC as a patie...

I live in Hanahan which is like a family area in tanner plantation and it isn't that expensive. Just depends on where you live and if you get a great deal. I work at MUSC on campus where we will be having class and such and for me to get work at 8:...

I would try MUSC again. Your GPA is higher than mine. You should work on building your volunteer/work experience. They really do want a well rounded applicant who has a bit of everything not a lot of one thing. The lady I spoke with that helped me...

Thanks Joseph! Trust me I know all about that feeling of being discouraged!! But it definitely feels amazing when you keep trying and finally get what you want :) I'm more than happy to help anyone who has questions. The applications open back up i...

That number worked!!! I GOT IN!! Third times a charm!!

I live about 15 mins away too and nothing RIDICULOUS!

Theres a form on the MUSC website for students in search of roommates and students in search of housing. It's kind of like a questionnaire. In case you need another option :)

Well if they mailed them Tuesday then we should definitely know something tomorrow!!

I applied for Fall 2013 selected as an alternate and then applied Fall 2014 rejected. Then I bumped into the chair of admissions on the elevator in my building at work and he told me to apply for Spring because the odds are a lot better!

That sounds awesome! I don't know if everyone is up to pursue that avenue so that is definitely diverse!
