I went through my whole undergrad without taking out a single loan. I was recently denied any funding from my grad school of choice, but they took SO lpng just to tell me that, that I had to decline other offers that DID offer funding. So I filled out fasfa for the first time and received notice that I don't qualify for work study and they gave me an unsubsidized loan. I don't know how on God's green earth they deemed me not worthy of need! What do I do now? Did I fill out the loan incorrectly? Is there anything I can do to correct this or should I look elsewhere?

I finally heard from the graduate coordinator, I got in! Don't lose hope isawstars, the deadline is later at PSU than most other schools.

I applied for the history program and our deadline was February 15. I decided to just email the graduate coordinator, as it is already April 1st, he might as well take me out of my misery.

I phoned Portland States a few weeks ago inquiring about my application for their history master's program. They told me they were sending letters at the end of March. I called them today to inquire about my application, and they said all the letters have been sent but six. They told me I was one of the six and the person in charge of graduate applications won't be in until Monday! What does that mean? I see that a rejection letter has been sent on March 22 and an acceptance letter on March 30. Aiiiii I'm going crazy! My alma mater has recently accepted me and they're waiting for me to accept or decline. I've heard that when they take forever to send a letter, it usually means you're rejected.
