Okay, so I'm kinda freaking out about this... maybe someone can give me words of wisdom or reassurance!
I applied for my student loans in mid July thru Sallie Mae using the site the MCPHS recommended. I was watching it for a few weeks, and after a while noticed that when I checked the status, it said that the loans were still being certified. I called Sallie Mae at the beginning of August, and they said "Oh, don't worry, your school decides on the certification date". I waited a week, and when they still weren't certified, called MCPHS. Of course, no one called me back until 4 days later, and after checking out my loan situation, they said something wasn't matching up in the system. They said they would fix it, but I'd have to wait a few days because the certification is an automatic weekly process.
Ok, so that was one week ago. Upon checking Sallie Mae, I've discovered it still says the same thing about my status. No one EVER picks up the phone at the MCPHS financial office, and no one has returned the message I left today! So frustrating (and disconcerting)!
Whew, that felt better just to get that off my chest. I'm worried because school starts this week, and I don't have eleven thousand dollars sitting around in case my loan doesn't come through. Is anyone else having this problem, or had it in the past? Help!
