So I found out last week that I was admitted to pharmacy school at Temple for 2008. *very excited* I am a little worried about financial aid though so I thought I would ask for some advice.

I plan on being very reliant on federal loans. I know Temple is considered public but while I was there for my interview they mentioned that Penn State is in the state budget and therefore gets alloted funds before Temple. Temple then "gets whatever money is leftover from the state". Does this mean I might not be able to get as much money in federal loans? That would stink!!! I really don't know what kind of private loans I would be eligible for. Does anyone else here go to Temple? If so, did you receive a generous financial aid package or did you mostly have to pay for school with private loans? This might make or break whether or not I go to temple. Please help! And thanks ahead of time. 🙂

When was the interview?
 
My interview was on Dec. 10. My undergrad gpa is 3.97 and I got a 95 on the PCAT....I just hope I can afford pharmacy school. 😀
 
how did u get noticed ?

by email or phonecall or envelope ??

please let me know.
 
They sent me a packet in the mail. They didn't send any emails or call me to notify me so watch out! I put down my parents address and I almost didn't get the letter until it was too late to respond. They only give you 21 days to give your reply and send in your $500 deposit.
