I've been told there is no exam software.

I see...

Then, yeah, I'm probably going for the Mac. I heard there was an Apple store like 4 blocks from campus, so I can go there if I have trouble.

Thanks for the info, guys.

Yes, there is. On Michigan Ave.

I was on the website looking at their suggested laptops today and it had a spot that said they don't recommend Macs. ...which sucks because I had really wanted to buy one. Does anyone know if it's really a big deal or what the exact issue is with Macs? For example, does the testing software need Windows to run?

Actually, starting this incoming year they are fully supporting macs and will also *reportedly* be offering specials that beat the regular apple student discount.

Would you be so kind as to post anything more you know about this. I'm thinking of replacing my MacBook this fall. I dropped this one from the roof of my car and its in less than ideal condition.

That's basically all I know. It was all supposed to be posted already, but IT either hasn't figured out what the deal is or someone hasn't been keeping up with their work.

Well, I guess one thing I can clarify is that what I mean by saying they will fully support macs is that if you have an issue and it's not your hard drive, then they will take your hard drive out and put it in a loaner while they fix your computer. This is exactly what they do with the dells. Our class was told this by an IT person during orientation, which was 2.5 weeks ago. They said they hoped to have the macs posted on the website by the end of that week, so they are a little late.

That's awesome. I hope they post about it soon because I had wanted to get my laptop fairly soon, but if this is true, maybe I should wait it out.

I am assuming the delay is that they are still trying to agree on a price with Apple. It's possible that the IT person that spoke with us was more optimistic than she should have been about a discount larger than the normal student discount. Either way, it seems like a foregone conclusion that they will be offering Macs this year, with the only uncertainty being the price at which we get them.

How are the AJD classes going? How rough is the schedule?

How are the AJD classes going? How rough is the schedule?

The content isn't that difficult so far, but the time commitment is even more than I thought it would be. Really, it seems that all I do from waking up until going to sleep is attend class and read (during the weekdays). The professors are great so far. It's rumored that they gave us their best professors this summer, and I have no reason to believe otherwise.

[NayBoer]

Sorry to hear that. At least you get to save yourself a full year.

No, it's not really that bad. I still have most my weekends to do as I please.

Who's teaching this summer? I may have outline gifts for you.

Sent you a PM. That would be awesome if you have outlines.

Has anyone tried to fill out the Grad PLUS application on the studentloans.gov website? I keep getting an error that Northwestern does not accept applications for the 2010-2011 school year.

i don't even see this form on my checklist, is it called something else?

[NayBoer]

The application isn't on my To Do Item List in Caesar. It says FAFSA and Need Access, the two promissory notes, the counseling, and then the award notice, where you accept or decline the money. I don't think the studentloans.gov application is necessary.

Or maybe it comes later.

Yeah, looks like by filling out the MPN they run the credit check automatically. I thought you had to apply to be approved to get the loan. Thanks.
