Hello, i've been accepted to the NYU college of Dentistrye. I payed for college with a combination of financial aid, the GI bill, and my personal savings. I've never actually borrowed money in my life before, and no one in my family has been to college or knows anything about federal loans, so i'm trying to make sure that I set them up correctly.
I accepted my financial aid package, did the entrance counseling, completed the Master Promissory Notes for my Federal direct loans (unsubsidized stafford and Grad plus) at studentloans.gov. I also made sure to set up the refund disbursement with the bursar website back at the start of May... I didn't see anything in my to do list about requesting a direct plus loan. Studentloans.gov says that some schools don't require you to make a direct plus loan request, and I didn't see anything about doing so on http://www.nyu.edu/dental/intranet/s...dmissions/dds/ or http://www.nyu.edu/dental/financials...nchecklist.pdf .
That's the whole process for me, right? They're going to check my credit history, hopefully approve my loan, give NYU the money, and then I'll get refund? When should it come?
