Has anyone had a credit check at this point? Not sure how much later things will kick off this year considering the later application cycle. Thanks.

Nursing programs do a pretty darn good job of preparing students for the constantly evolving and policy driven system that has become a much different beast than the 'old days'. If we trained like nurses used to we would all fail miserably. You may have learned as you went, but we have to start in this system with a completely different set of tools in order to survive getting sued or worse, losing our liscences. Your comment was honestly a bit jaded.

Maybe these hospitals should provide the appropriate pay for their nurses and this wouldn't be a problem...

UMASS Amherst only uses your prerequisite GPA. I had a 3.85 for prereqs and 6 months of cna experience when I applied. Write a good statement that is peer edited and find a couple of great references; I used my a&p teacher and hospital employer as references. Show you are unique and have passions in things other than nursing, they want to see you as a person outside of the profession as well. Good luck and study often.

I declined my spot already yes. I sent Jackie an email on last Friday. Best of luck!

I called financial aid this morning and they told me that if you were awarded a need based scholarship then you should also receive some need based scholarship the 4th term as well. This information just made it so that I can now justify the cost of attendance! So excited and can't wait to see you all in August! Best of luck to the rest of you!

You're right, I was unaware of the HRSA scholarship, something I will look into. Thanks CSmontana and msB27! Best of luck to everyone and their final choices! We're almost there!

Duke's loan forgiveness is NOTHING like it used to be. Now they only offer a maximum of 25,000 after working for them for a few years; it used to be over 80%. Not to mention NC does not pay nurses the greatest, so it's a wash. Next, everyone needs to look into HRSA and do their research. The money that is given to you as reimbursement is taxed at roughly 35%. So, do not expect to receive but half of what you think you will get.

Well, financial aid is up on the portal. I got some aid, but still not enough for what I really need. I was surprised because I made under the federal poverty line. I just don't know what it takes to get enough help these days. Anyone get the full need based award? Also, it's not showing anything for Fall of 2018, I wonder if we will get anything for that term? It's such a hard decision to make, I hate this stress so much.

1 month, by May 4th.

Looks like Nora is out of the office until Thursday. She said she would send out an email to all impacted students once decisions were released.

I accepted the offer but I won't pay the deposit until I receive the award letter. Financial aid told me they strive to get the financial awards released within 2 weeks post the acceptance letters. They also said they usually release award information on a Friday, so we should hopefully know by next Friday at the earliest.

Has anyone received an email from Nora since decisions were released?

I'm crossing all my fingers and toes and hoping to get need based scholarship from Duke as I was under the federal poverty line last year. If I don't receive at least 40,000 from Duke I'll have to choose a cheaper program. Everybody wants your money these days, and it only gets more difficult to get any help. That's why I applied to to 7 programs.
