The UMich System is a little different in that you have to go to "financial aid calculator" after your award has posted, and then go to the different screen that mentions the extra grad plus loans. The reason why they don't automatically include the plus loans is because there's an extra verification process and not everyone qualifies. I think this system is more realistic!

Accepted! My top choice! Interpersonal P.w/ Mental Health - also a GSSA! :-) congrats to everyone!

I'd rather go to UofM due to the connections with the medical school - but that's because I want to do Interpersonal Practice/Mental Health, and they have a two year placement with the Psychiatry program within the U of M medical system that you can apply to during your last term in the 16th month program. The two years serves as an INCREDIBLE option for preparing to take the licensing exam. I am from the Pacific coast and have lived here my entire life - moved to SF bay area for undergrad and then back home. My partner is from Michigan, and we plan on settling in Michigan and buying a house since the economy is beginning to rebound quite nicely. I think this is a purely individual predicament - GOOD LUCK DECIDING - DO WHAT'S BEST FOR YOU! I am lucky that my partner and I have goals that align - he's staying on the Pacific coast for my first year at UofM since his job is fairly secure here, but not in MI.

Career Services office: 734-763-6259 Someone always answers it during business hours. I do believe all GSSA interviewees for BOTH offices have now been contacted as of yesterday, but you can always call and be sure.

Thanks, and same to you! :-)

I got a call for an interview today for GSSA in CS. No admission decision yet. Good luck!
