That sounds great, I'd much rather have a grant than take out more loans. Could you tell me more about the grant you received? I tried to message you but I don't have enough posts.

I was thinking about putting it on a credit card, and then paying that off. But, my school charges 2.50% of the total balance if you use a credit card, so it would be much higher than it needs to be

It was my mistake for not researching it earlier, but I assumed since I got federal loans so easily, private would be no issue. This is a private bsn program for people who already have a degree. The schools in my area are super competitive; I applied to so many community colleges and honestly that wouldve been my first choice, since I can pay out of pocket (for most of it). I just don't know what to do at this point and I'm wondering if any other ABSN students were in my shoes before.

I actally did accept the federal loan - but its a limited amount since I already have a bachelor's; something like 15k for the year. This is a private school so that amount doesnt even make a dent in the tuition.

They do have payment plans, but it has to to be payed off in 5 installements; one semester costs about 18,000 after the aid im getting, so I wouldnt even be able to afford the monthly payments im afraid.

I work part time in a medical office with an hourly rate of around 16 per hour. I can't go fulltime because of my school schedule.

I thought I would post here since I'm all fresh out of options. Long story short, I've been trying to get into nursing school for a couple of years now, but due to the competition, have never been able to get an acceptance. I finally graduated with a degree in the liberal arts and applied to an accelerated 1 year program at a private school and was so happy to find out I was off the waitlist just before the semester started. I paid my deposit and enrolled. I received no aid since I already have a degree and the federal loans were not enough to cover the tuition. I had no idea I would have such trouble getting a loan or else I would have never enrolled, but its too late now and I already owe them money. Are there any private loans available to low income students with a credit score below 700 (same for my cosigner)? I have applied to every lender I could think of but I'm getting declined.

Hey guys - I'm new to this site☺️I'm planning on applying for the ABSN for the Fall of 2016; for those that have heard back (wait listed, accepted, etc) do you mind sharing your GPA, major, etc? It would be helpful to know what they're looking for. Thanks and good luck to you all! ������������
