The US DOE is a huge bureaucratic place. Sometimes they move slow, or the "right hand doesn't know what the left hand" is doing. My first two years, my school code was NOT in the computer (although they had one) so my loans got really messed up. BUt now when I do my FAFSA, the code pops right up on the screen, so no problems now. I attend school in Hungary. I'm an older student and my wife is Hungarian, so it was not too difficult choice for me. University of Debrecen Health Sciences Center. It was just named a Center of Excellence by the European Commission. However, Its like law school, they let in 130 per class and graduate about 50, its not for everyone, but our grads get good jobs, and most do well on Step 1 and 2. (My classmate just took STep 1 and got 98, but she studied for 5 months straight!) Anyway, just check with the schools office and make sure they have a DOE code, and should be no problem. PS If you are US citizen, Don't let your parents deduct you as an expense on their Tax form. It can hurt (lower) the amount you will qualify for!! Good luck!!
