Texas Tech-Accelerated BSN Spring 2020

[kantwine]

I haven't seen a thread for those of us applying May 1st to the January 2020 cohort. I'm wondering how heavily they weigh the TEAS. Also, I have heard as long as you meet all criteria they typically give you an interview. Has anyone else heard this? I really like how they take a holistic approach to grant admissions. I'm wanting to apply to UTA but I feel like the main way you get extra points is by attending school there which I did not do! We'll see!

There were things to sign off in regards to household size and such. Also since I'm married and file taxes jointly I had to add my husband to "give permission" for him to sign the forms as well. I'll take some screenshots later.

attached is a screenshot also i recieved the webinar invite today. its for the 18th and of course im working that day. im fairly disappointed it is only at 10am and 2pm hopefully they record and send the link out like last time. i can't think of any questions to submit I keep assuming that most of our questions will be answered at the orientation? also i should mention I only found FAFSA application for 2019 not 2020, kinda bummed cause i was hoping i could do both and get it out of the way seeing as we will need both 2019 and 2020 FAFSA aid years.

I am also a little bummed I can not do the 2020-2021 year :(

Has anyone else been able to do the 2020 year? I got an update for 2019-2020 just now. I know I won't get much since funds are probably out, but ahh. Anyone know of other scholarships? I live alone and have 2 jobs and will be quitting my full time job. Idk how I will do it, but well see lol.

I just got an update for FAFSA and I wasn’t offered much in loans.. how is everyone else paying for the program? I thought they would offer enough loans to cover the program? I can tough it out for spring semester but will funding be this low each semester?

[jillhill81]

I have to do private loans, and I do them through my bank Wells Fargo. I used all my regular loan options with my first degree. Where did you see your FAFSA update? My webtech hasn't shown anything just yet on that.

[Jessica Corona]

oh okay.. I have been looking into that as well because I have Wells Fargo but I am scared I won't qualify since I am not working full time. What is the limit for regular loan options with a first degree? I borrowed less than 10,000 for my first degree so I did not think it would impact my offer for my second degree. I went to the webtech and under the student tab there is a financial aid link and once you've clicked on it it gives you the option to view/accept your financial aid award.

I meant that its under MyTech tab, sorry not the student tab

I'm sure I'll need to take out private loans as well, do you have them approved and figured out yet? Not sure when I should start applying for that.

[jillhill81]

oh that doesn't seem right! I got like 60 for my first! If you're married and your husband works that's all you need
