Yeah, there's some part of me that keeps thinking "OMG your credit card was late = your credit score now sucks = no money for you for school"


I tried the annualcreditreport thing, the one I pulled didn't even show that card... buttttt.... :scared:

Try calling the company and arguing the charge away. Sometimes my company will try to trip me up by having the due date be a holiday or something. Then, even if you DO pay on that day, the payment will still be marked as late because they receive the payment the next day, when they're open for business.

Looks like VCU and Columbia are participating schools... looks like I'm going to have to do this thing after my FAFSA. 🙁

Yeah, mother is going to call tomorrow (we both have cards with the same company, I pay them together, and it's happened for both of us) and get it checked out. I have a friend that works at the bank, he said that as long as you aren't 30 days late, it doesn't go to the credit ppl to go on ur statement... so I guess it's okay there, it's just frustrating regardless.
 
My dad STILL doesn't have his tax information 😡😡😡

Grrrr.............
 
I finished my need access a week or two ago, and it was loooooong. But unless you're rich, a lot of the fields will be 0s.

Also, I cycled for 30 minutes earlier.
 
So I went to MCV's lecture today. I fell asleep 6 times in two hours, and then wanted to go to sleep twice in the third hour... I do not know how I will last in medical school...🙁

I hate these financial forms...

I'm thinking mandatory attendance = 👎 for you...

Quite the opposite. I have not ditched a single class except for my calc discussion which which was at 8 in the morning and the TA could not teach at all... I am too afraid to miss class... I am afraid that the professor will say something important, and I will miss it if I ditch...

Well we actually complete the survey with the parent. But they have to have a kid between 6-12 who is being seen in the clinic.

That's why you need to come to Maryland with me (if I don't get into you-know-where) and only have 2 hours of lecture a day! 😀

Yup! Application season's nearly over for me. I don't have anything to do except wait until March... so I don't have much to post in the other threads anymore 🙂

Wow....

My Dad said that his financial information from all of his investments is not available yet, and he doesn't know when it'll be ready.

Looks like I'll be doing the FAFSA with estimated numbers until his taxes come through. I hope this doesn't screw my finaid over.

The consolidated statements that investors get from brokerages, etc., aren't required to be mailed out until Feb 15 this year (usually Jan 31)...
 
all this FAFSA talk is making me nauseous.
I am still procrastinating filing my taxes...ungh.
I think im going to call up my med-school-to-be and ask if their financial aid office can hold my hand for me and walk me through this process.
 
woo hoo an hour at the gym. I hate driving in the snow 🙁

I wish. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who wishes this part would just go away!!

Hey, how did your Columbia interview go? I forgot to ask! Did you know that I am head-over-heels in love with Columbia??? 😍😍😍😍😍

Harumph. That doesn't make me happy. The priority deadline at the school I'll most likely be attending if Columbia doesn't work out is March 1st.

Can you fill out a FAFSA halfway and then save the information? I might do this with all of my tax stuff and then just enter my Dad's after he gets his investment information.
 
Yayyyy first acceptance today! I can finally post on this thread😀😀
 
Can it be?

OMG TOP (of the small animal foodchain).

Wow, UTSW just became my # 1 again.... Sorry UMD... Unless it gives me better fin aid... although I highly doubt it 33K tuition will compete with 12K tuition...
 
I signed up to be a part of the Fencing Club. First meeting is today where we can sign up for private lessons.

Moral of the story: F with me and i slice you in half with a sword.

Exactly... the now slightly more lax grading system + 12K tuition at UTSW is the winner...

Unless of course UCLA or UVa accept me... 😍😍😍 for each🙂

I was thinking of joining a kendo club. Might not work out, though--I was also thinking of doing a dual degree program.:laugh:
