Congrats, everyone! Quick question: when y'all got your email did your application page change to reflect the decision? I haven't gotten the email. For the other schools, I would always get my email last but I was able to check my decision before I got the email.

Yeah, so does that mean we didn't get awarded any scholarships or grants? I guess so, but I'll call tomorrow to verify.

Correct. I'm working in TX Government, and I have checked and the forgivness does apply to me.

Good to hear, thanks.

I'm petty sure you can move around, though maybe someone else can back me up or refudiate refute.

No problem! Glad to help. And see my note below. I'll admit that there could be an outside chance that we blew it, but she was pretty reassuring on the phone. I'm looking to do the same type of work as you. On the one hand, the debt could be potentially huge and working in public service I won't be raking it in. On the other hand, the student loan reforms that passed with the health care law last year put in a provision that you can't be required to pay more than 10% of your income in public student loans, and I could see myself working in public service for ten years to fulfill debt forgiveness requirements, without any problem. As someone else said, there's no guarantee that those laws will be in place forever, but it's something.

No, she was very clear with me that I definitely need to send in the form. It's required. But she was also clear that it's not too late. The fafsa and checking the box that "I will apply for student aid" was sufficient for processing aid requests.

cckrspn156, whoah! Don't jump the gun there. When I read my acceptance letter (to Bologna, incidentally) I read that finaid decisions will come this week, and was mortified to see that I too had never seen that one page form/hadn't filled it out. This morning I called, told them I had thought the FAFSA was the form and that I hadn't filled out the additional form. The lady who answered told me it was fine, didn't negatively affect my aid eligibility, as long as I clicked "I will be applying for financial aid" when I submitted my original application. So I faxed it in today, although she said mailing it in is fine too. Nonetheless, we might still be in the same boat and ultimately not get any aid. I'm grappling with the same decision as you are, so thanks for posting. Good luck!
