I just got accepted to Seattle University's APNI program and was wondering if any of my fellow future classmates were interested in starting a thread of our own.
We are about to embark on an amazing, stressful and exciting venture--June is just around the corner!
We may as well start getting to know each other now.
When I initially decided to apply to SU I found very little on allnurses, so I'm hoping this thread will also be a place where prospective APNI's can post and get some advice from us . . . eventually
So, if anyone is interested in introducing themselves I'd love to hear from you.
I look forward to meeting everyone at orientation in June
Any advice from current students is greatly appreciated too!
Yeah, the game starts around 6:30pm tonight so it'll prolly be packed at The Ram. I'm going to call them around 6pm and maybe get down there a little earlier so that we can hopefully get a table by 7pm. If not, like Mike said, we can always go somewhere else. The table will be under my name (Jessica) for about 12 people.
I'm really happy that people were able to make it out tonight on such short notice! Thanks for coming! It was great to meet everyone and put a name/personality to the face. I can already tell that we've got a great cohort this year!
We'll definitely plan something for next month (May) and something in June before orientation.
Anyone have any suggestions on where, when, or what to do?
Has anyone else looked at their Financial Aid award -- I have some confusion about whether aid is available for the summer term and what the exact cost of the first year is.
I haven't received a financial aid award letter yet- I did check SUonline but it's showing my award letter isn't available. Is that where you saw yours, or did they mail you something?
I know that the summer financial aid has to be applied for separately. Under "My documents" on SUonline, I did have a message that I needed to fill out a summer financial aid application, and that the deadline for applying is 6/30/09. I'm afraid that's all I know!
I'm wondering about the cost too- all I know is the cost per credit, which is $541. I'd like to know what they calculate for the cost of attendance since that's what financial aid is based on. Anyone else know more?
It should be, considering we take about 53 credits the first year, which at $541 a credit is $28,673. I was going to call the financial aid office about that one.
That's what I thought too. We take 53 credits the first full yr and at $541 a credit, that should be $28,673. I was going to call the financial aid office about that...
Thanks for posting that, Rebekah! Hopefully my award info will be posted soon.
I think we need to have the financial aid office manually adjust the tuition amount, since our credit load is a lot higher than standard "full time" graduate enrollment. I read through the financial services website- I think we can request a revision of the financial aid award based on the higher amount of credits per quarter in our program.
I'm glad to hear that the evening at the Ram went well, I was sorry to have missed it. It seems like there are at least 2 others in Portland in the cohort. I can't remember now who mentioned that they lived in Portland, but if you'd like to get together down here, I'd definitely be up for that! Let me know!
I was looking forward to meeting all of you! Next time! :)
