CONGRATS on getting a call for an interview. Do you mind sharing with us the date for your interview? If they're still conducting interview until the end of this week, I'm just hoping others can get the same opportunity to be invited for an interview. ? Thanks.

Did your application status says "Under Review" or "Under Consideration". Just curious and big CONGRATS again on your interview invite. ?

Hello, thank you so much for starting this thread. Do you or anyone out there have worked at Los Alamitos Medical Center and went through their new grad program? I know that it's not a Magnet hospital and they do have a 2 years contract. If there's anything about this hospital for new grads, please feel free to share. Thank you. :)

Hello everyone, For those that received emails for the interview invites via Microsoft Teams, did you all have your license already? Thanks. Mine is still under review. ?

No worries, glad I was able to help. :)

I see. I filed my 16-17 FAFSA on the first week of Jan 2016 and added Golden West, Coastline and CSULB under my school of attendence. During spring 16 I attended Coastline and fall 16 I attended GWC while I was on a leave from CSULB during those semesters. When I checked my fafsa on mycsulb, it posted my package for spring 17. There could be couple of possibilities of why loans are offered to you and not free aids. 1) 8 months ago when you filed your 16-17 fafsa, you didn't add CSULB under your school of attendance. 2) For transfer students, it could take longer for the financial aid department to process the free aid and it could take a while before it would be posted online for you to view via mycsulb. After we receive the second email from Monalisa (I would say anytime this week) regarding health assessments, orientation and etc, you can call FA again to ask about the free aid package.

Did you recently apply for FAFSA and put in CSULB as your school of attendance?

Guys, don't forget to renew your FAFSA for year 17-18. This year they changed the month from Jan-1-17 to Oct-16. The faster you guys renew it sometime this month for school year 17-18, the better it will be because you usually get more than if you were to wait. This is the message they sent me: "It's time for you to fill out the 2017–18 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) if you are going to school between July 1, 2017 and June 30, 2018. Two Big Changes to This Year's FAFSA The FAFSA launched on October 1, three months earlier than in previous years. Complete your FAFSA as soon as possible to maximize your financial aid eligibility. The 2017–18 FAFSA asks for older (2015) income and tax information than in previous years. This makes it easier to complete your FAFSA because at this point, most people have already filed their 2015 taxes and can transfer their tax information directly into the FAFSA right away using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool. This is fast, accurate, and lessens the amount of paperwork that may be required by your school."

@Angelica: I like the title. When you are free and have time, please post the link so we can add ourself in. Thanks again for volunteering. Now we can enjoy/focus the rest of today until the end of the weekend without having any heart palpitations, lack of sleep or inadequate food intake. HAHA:dead: #thestrugglewasreal

I just received an acceptance email from Ms. Monalisa. I'm extremely and beyond happy. As i'm typing this, my fingers and hands are shaking. hahahahah. Thank you to all of you for making this waiting period worth while and also sharing your knowledge with all of us. See you guys soon at orientation. Woot woot. !!!!!!!

I hope you are right!

Thanks S.abi, I hope so too. If you guys have any questions regarding the school in general just ask and I'll try my best to answer. :)

Don't freak me out guys. I'm their current student so I can't check my status in any way accept to wait ((. Hopefully I will hear something positive soon. Congrats Nicolettevf, Snorlaxrn and S.abi!!! WOOT WOOT

@lousan: the things that I can advise you on doing while waiting is to get your physical, flu shot, titers and things of that sort done now so when they request it, you would have it done and just turn in those paperwork. @snorlaxrn: if more students choose basic semester than there are slots for then they will draw a lottery.

@bgon. Thank you for your time in letting us know these important information. How do you like it so far and what would be the things that you would recommend us dos and the don'ts. Thanks
