Hi, Jason here. Still try to decide which loan option i should choose for the coming year. Need find a place to stay as well. maybe a roommate to save some money. Right now, just chilling and study for the final.

Hello Jason, I'll probably go with Keybank but I am not sure! I am so busy studying for my finals as well, I will think about the housing after my finals

 

[Abilene]

Jason and Mandy!
I finally chose KeyBank...I called and applied by phone...it was really fast (less than 10 min...)...now I'm just waiting for the confirmation paper to be sent home and then send it to the financial aid office...
Be care to turn in the required materials before the dead line...I think you have to choose a lender by the end of May... ...just a reminder...

 

[Mandy_2]

Good for you Abilen . you know I found out that they all have the variable rate and the one that has the lowest rate is the Nelnet first then Key Bank. So I am just debating between these two lenders

 

[Vorkosigan]

With final next week. I am going wait till it's done then decide on the loan. I wonder if the 3 lenders they listed are only 3 i can choose from. or i choose other lenders as well. I guess i will email Dr. DeYoung and find out. good luck with the finals.

block system, 3 year program, clinical environment.

I just got the news that keybank has been take off the lender list. no reason given. Since you guys choose keybank as your lender. you better call Donna for confirmation. I guess we all going with Nelnet now. *sigh* let's all pray that federal financial aid come through for us next year.

 

[rxforlife2004]

I'm from Orange County and at the end year of P-1 in USN. I'll go back this summer for my rotation. So if you guys from OC would like to meet up, I'll be more than happy to do so when i get back there...

USN rocks

 

[aptekmies]

just finished finals!...I'll be at USN in the fall. I just found out I have been accepted to midwestern also but I'm sure I am going to USN...they have my deposit anyway. I think I am going with nelnet as a lender. When are y'all moving down there? I'm going down monday to check out housing and stuff. I'm excited to meet y'all!

 

[LVPharm]

Congratulations to everyone on SDN who will be attending USNCOP this fall! Best of luck...I'll still check in once in awhile after I move out of town late June, so feel free to PM me with any questions (I'll do my best).

Hi there and every one else who's applying for loans....
I just called keybank and they said that they are still working with USN to provide student loan...and that my loan application was preapproved and I would be receiving a promisary note from them soon....seemed like there wasn't any problem between USN and KeyBank at all...
Then I called USN, Dr. Deyoung, and he told me that they are appealing KeyBAnk ... not exactly sure what's going on...but he told me that I should wait till the end of the week and he'll email me the updates...
Gosh...plez let there be no problem with the loan....This sort of thing already happened to me last year with Teri loan when I was about to go to the Hawaii school....(it turned out to be a good thing that I wasn't able to go to the hawaii pharmacy school, given the situation that they are in right now...I pray for the school and every one that is in there...)
Any of you interested in Keybank should wait and make sure that everything is ok between Keybank and the school before you apply for the loan...call ms. Lawrence or Dr. Deyoung...they are very nice and helpful...
take care...and I look forward to seeing ya all this Fall!

[Vorkosigan]

*sigh* I just sent in my application this afternoon. I wonder if i can call them and change it. Darn it.

 

[Mandy_2]

i havent gotten that email. whats going on with them?

Here is the email they send:

"To All Students:
We have been notified by Key Bank that they intend to discontinue their leading services in the near future.
Key Bank is one of our approved lenders with a very competitive lending package.
Therefore, if you wish to take advantage of Key Bank's services it is imperative that you submit your loan
application within the next 48 hours.
Failure to do so could result in your loan(s) being denied and requiring your application to a lender
offering a different package at possibly higher rates.
For those who have already made application we appreciate your attention to this detail.
For those who will be making application at this time, please notify Donna Lawrence in financial aid
as soon as your loan is approved."

hope that helps.

Do you guys know if USN has a dress code? I know some schools do have dress codes, meaning you are not allowed to wear jeans!! Do you know if USN is the same ?

 

[JTD1972]

No dress code at USN except for presentations and EPPE. I'd apply for Nelnet if you can, it has the lowest interest rate. Basically the list of banks they give you to choose from is in order of best to worst from left to right. That's pretty much a direct quote from the finacial aid department. So choose wisely: Left is better, right is bad. It's that simple.

 

[Abilene]

I got to talk to some of the students there after the interview...
the only time that you had to dress formal was the first day of school for the white coat ceremony...that's it...
And when I had the tour around the place, there were students around, and I saw a lot of jeans and other informal clothing, even work out clothes
A very relaxing environment...

 

[LVPharm]

Wear what you want, except for presentation days, EPPE, CPPE, APPE. It's not uncommon for students to wear flip flops, shorts, and a Tshirt to lecture. There may be a few faculty members who may look at you a little funny for dressing too far down, but nothing prohibits it.

 

[Vorkosigan]

Alright! i hate to wear a shirt and a tie all day!

just one question for current USN student...if you have to retake a certain class in the summer...do you have to pay extra tuition for it?
