Justvibin123

Justvibin123

There’s been none on Reddit/LSD

Was just told waitlisted applicants will here back now-August 19
Justvibin123

That’s o unfair

So
Someone here said they are in at udm. Have you accepted your loan package yet?
I am not sure what to do yet. I want to hold out since they’re next to eachother , but I don’t know when I have to accept my fin aid package
Justvibin123

I did at MSU I believe they just cancel the loans
Justvibin123
8:43
if they disperse then you will have to pay them back
Justvibin123
8:43
I am sure this happens all the time so you're not a rare case if that helps
So- if you accept it for tuition and they disperse, how would you get that money back to pay the loan? I would assume the school doesn’t give that back
But like, should I not disperse // accept yet? Or what if I wait too long?
Justvibin123
10:23
I think they have to return it
Justvibin123
13:37
Just got an email from the director that the class is full
Justvibin123
13:38
Likely won’t have updates until the first week of orientation
Justvibin123
15:53
Essentially we’re counting on a couple of people to drop spots
