I called VCU for a fin aid estimate and they said that it would be all loans except for the 4k scholly... Time to withdraw(soon, not yet), which would mean that I am holding an acceptance to only one school😱

 

[ChubbyChaser]

That's a good thing, isn't it? Clear up some space for the waitlisters?

That's OK, you gotta be down to one soon anyway! 👍

 

[sarahl86]

I live in Baltimore because it is...

 

[olemissbabydoc]

Now that it is TWO oclock, I'm going to attempt to run to the restroom, organize my notes, and make the next 7 hours pass as quickly as possible.

 

[quirks]

I fixed it for you Chubby 🙂



Oh and Battlestar Galactica, any good?


I just watched Firefly/ Serenity and loved it. And I keep hearing BSG is worth watching, what's the scoop here gang? Is it really, or are we just starved for decent Sci-Fi?

😱

Yes it's good! I watched the entire series in three weeks (80 ~45 min episodes + 3hr prequel miniseries).

I should watch Firefly/Serenity. Maybe that should be next. Shouldn't take long.

Err, wow it's been a long time. Yeah I have seen Season 3 too, for some reason I thought that was the final one. No, I've seen Seasons 1-3, but haven't seen any of Season 4... and it looks like only the first half of season 4 is out on DVD. Lame.

*cough*torrent it*cough*

Just don't let the RIAA catch you! Friend of mine had to pay them $3000 last summer.

There's also the Surf the Channel website.

I told you to buy the soundtrack!

Yeah... I think I need it.

 

[sarahl86]

I would imagine that it's pretty difficult to get caught by the RIAA, unless you're downloading things constantly...or the new Wolverine movie.

Yeah, definitely watch Firefly/Serenity (more Firefly than Serenity, though, and definitely not Serenity first and then Firefly).👍

Don't forget that there are currently four available Galactica OSTs. Miniseries, S1, S2, and S3. Miniseries and S3 are more rhythm-driven, while S2 leans heavily toward the orchestral. Grab the miniseries OST first if you want to watch how PassAcaglia evolves over time.👍

RIAA is no longer serving warrants against individuals. They are now working on other avenues to stop piracy. MPAA not so sure about...

The RIAA doesn't care about the Wolverine movie. The MPAA, on the otherhand, will burn you alive (in the rare event that they find you (through bogus torrents and the like)).

 

[Dissected]

Dude..my chem friends are ready to drop dead from p-chem right now! You're almost done tho right?

Aah, ok. Fair enough.

Aaah, p-chem. Not taking that class was the only reason I wasn't a chem major 🙂

Whoa, I've never heard of anyone actually getting caught before? What was he downloading?

I only download some songs and a TV show here and there. Hopefully, the Feds won't be knocking down my door...

 

[DrMattOglesby]

wow...hey guys....do not get into an argument with Drizzt3117!! He is built like Bolo Yeung!

 

[olemissbabydoc]

Just read some pieces of my friend's dads' med chart... wow.

Pre-Mortem his RBC count was 1.32 and HCT was 12.0

12.0, people.

IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhh are you KIDDING me?! No one thought that odd?

 

[aznb0y129]

Well you can get into an Internet argument with him

 

[RoadRunner17]

So I got my financial aid packet from Case today.. it's about time. However, they expect my parents to contribute $12,000/year and for me to take out loans for the rest of it. I already specified on my needaccess application that my parents aren't going to be giving me much, if at all.

You know, with the economy tanking (especially in Detroit), little brother still in undergrad and parents watching out for their nest egg which has already taken a hit, I can't expect much from my parents. Maybe I can work out a loan, though.

I think it's pretty clear what I'm going to do but I'm going to wait till tonight to fully think through it all.

 

[Myuu]

If it makes you feel any better, I still ended up with 61k in loans.:cry:




HAAAAAAAAAHAHAHA. I just now got rejected from GW.

 

[aznb0y129]

I just read 3 personal statements in the last 30 minutes. I think I'm getting speedier at this editing process 😀

Did you get that email way back about them holding a small number of interview invites even though interview season is over and there was a SLIGHT possibility that they would contact you regarding an interview but not to keep your hopes up?

Yay for run-on sentences!

Yup, and just rejected as well. Gee, thanks guys!

So I'm confused, if your COA was $60,000 and they expect your family to contribute $12,000 does that mean hey're only going to let you take out loans for $48,000? I thought EFC was only used to determine need-based financial aid and wouldn't affect your projected cost of attendance. Am I wrong?

I have 2 sibs in undergrad and if they tell me they're deducting EFC from my loans I am f***ed...

CoA for Case is a mighty 69k.:cry:

 

[sarahl86]

CoA for Case is a mighty 69k.:cry:

I feel your pain: 67k for NYMC for on-campus (first two years), and 71 for off-campus...that, and there's a lot more to be said for Case than NYMC. 🙁

NYMC actually didn't seem that bad when I went to Second Look. With no alternatives, I think I would ultimately be happy there, but I'm opting to save the extra 20-30K per year 🙂

 

[olemissbabydoc]

Ugh, more depressing financial aid talk.

Stop it! 😆

 

[olemissbabydoc]

"Second Look" luncheon tomorrow.

 

[DrYoda]

Boo for loans👎. I'm sure I'll be joining you guys in the high loan club soon enough🙁.

 

[DrYoda]

Not to continue on with the fin aid talk... but does anyone know if schools recalculate EFC themselves or do they just use the FAFSA one?

I think it is a great school for a lot of personal reasons, notably the fact that there is a school for the Deaf right down the road so I can still be involved with the D/HH community that way (so zero complaints there). I definitely think that med school is what you make of it, and success is going to be based on how much effort I put in as opposed to where I go...but it would be nice to go to a school with more research opportunities and better connections. That's probably my only complaint about the school aside from cost.

The gunner stories don't sound to appealing either.

 

[Bacchus]

FML and PGW. You have to schedule gas turn off a week before the date. I just did it hoping for turn off on Friday. We'll see what happens. Hopefully they come and do it. Waiting for my confirmation.

Ditto. Obviously my stuff isn't coming before tomorrow... but it should in the next couple of weeks.

I was thinking PGW was a nice new acronym for an offensive thing to say. Turns out it's just Philadelphia Gas Works. That's kind of like an expletive, right??

Great afternoon work humor. Can't believe it actually wasn't blocked.

I think they calculate their own based on family assets.

(*@#$&@(*#$ PGW. I've had to pay them an arm and leg over the winter. One bill was a bit over $600. Stupid PGW and my landlord is lame for not putting in any insulation in a house that's over 100 years old.

We just wore hoodies and used space heaters.

:cry: That's gonna be rough, I thought they gave you a little bit more than that. Did you get any Case loans?

Ok, thanks. I was curious since I haven't gotten any kind of paper work regarding my assets aside from the FAFSA.

 

[RoadRunner17]

We did that too (we all bought space heaters and electric warming blankets), but even when we set the thermostat to 50 degrees (to prevent pipes from freezing), the heater would be on ALL DAY wasting our gas. Note to self: when I move to Madison, make sure the place I move into has MODERN INSULATION or at least heat included in the rent.

 

[Myuu]

:cry: That's gonna be rough, I thought they gave you a little bit more than that. Did you get any Case loans?

8.7k in grant, 8.5k in Case loan.👍

Oh, hmm. I suppose it's not 61k, as I'm supposed to come up with another 8k. Make that 53k.

It depends on the institution. I know that Case takes it into account, because they came up with a specific figure for what my parents were expected to contribute.
