Simmons financial aid info?

[cfrimer]

Hi all,

I was wondering if there is anyone out there who has been accepted to the Simmons direct-entry program, and if so, if you've gotten any info from them about financial aid?

I assumed that any such information would be included with the acceptance letter. I didn't see anything in mine, so does this mean that I'm on my own, financially speaking? Or do they send it out later?

Thanks!

Chantelle,

I have been accepted to Simmons for DE, but like you, my letter did not contain any info regarding financial aid. All my other letters included info about FIn. Aid, and also medical forms, which my simmons letter did not have. Perhaps this comes later? The deadline for replying Simmons is much later (Which is funny, since it starts earlier....) so perhaps another letter is in the works?

I spoke with a woman in the Nursing Dept today about a lot of stuff, but didn't bring up Fin Aid with her, other than the overall cost of the program. (~790/credit). She also mentioned that all students are required to purchase a PDA. I figured she wouldn't be able to answer any questions about specific packages, but then I got busy at work and didn't have a chance to call the Fin Aid office....

I did find out a few specifics regarding classes (When they start, what days the summer course meets on/what time). I also asked if I could sit in on a class or speak with a prof. in the near future, to which both answers are yes. I am planning to go on the 13th of March, (I guess they are only in class on Mondays) and hopefully have a better idea if Simmons or MGH is right for me.

Sorry, long response to your post, and unfortunatley not really addressing your original question!

Have a good afternoon!
