JB, I filed a FASFA just in case for the fall and spring, last week I received the financial aid packet that stated they would provide me a federal loan for the full amount. I was hoping of receiving a scholarship or grant of some kind but I haven't received any information on if I will receive an award. Another situation has arrived It seems like there's always something. The school I'am currently at is limiting students on the number of hours to take. Like I said I'am currently unemployed, so I have a lot of free time and the one accelerated class I'm taking (1 class every 6 weeks) doesn't take anytime whatsoever. I have to write an appeal saying why I should be allowed to take more than one class. When I talked to the guy yesterday, he stated students are typically denied to take more than one accelerated class at a time. That's quite frustrating, as it stands I would be taking graduate courses if I chose, with undergraduate courses the fall. Seems pretty straightforward there until I throw in the fact that I might get accepted to a management program at a fortune 500 which is dependent on me completing my degree by December. This company provides tuition reimbursement which is why I applied to the program, so I can limit my debt. Lol sometimes I wish I had easy decisions, but there seems to be zingers at every corner. Either way it seems I have to write the appeal, it just makes since but I might have to put off my graduate school courses until January Just very frustrated right now, I'm afraid that if I say I want to push back on attending graduate school I might have to re-apply.

Howdy, I figured I would chime in since I'am somewhat older lol.. I'am 36 with 2 associates a Bachelors Degree in Pre-Law which will be finished very soon and I just got accepted to Creighton University Graduate School. I have 15 years total government service at various levels, e.g 2 branches of military, federal government civilian and government contractor. I wanted to pursue a master's degree because I have hit a plateau and I am looking for something that will provide me a little bump. Recently, I was working full-time as a space analyst on a military installation but do to corporate greed I was laid off in March due to my salary. I actually referred the guy that replaced me, they paid him 14k less. Anyway, I am ready to begin the next chapter, at least I think I am. I applied for the fall semester and was accepted unconditionally, no aid given. I assume it was due to having a pretty good job at the time and I wasn't in need of aid. Should I let them know that I am currently unemployed? Would this really change anything? Thanks for listening. Applied: Creighton University Accepted: Creighton University Program: Master's East-West Studies with an emphasis in Business

1. What program are you applying to (MA/PhD/Other) I applied to a MA program for East-West Studies and was unconditionally accepted. 2. Where are you applying or thinking of applying? Creighton University 3. Background information (undergrad, major, etc) I have a BS in Pre-Law from an ok school but as long as your application is strong you don't need a GRE at this school. 4. Fun fact unrelated to grad school I only applied to one school, so it was hit or miss, not the smartest thing to do but I know its a good developing program..
