Hey guys sorry to change the subject, but can somebody give me the travel time from the Haile Plantation to Levin during the morning rush hours (or take a guess)? Thanks in advance!

It is about a 30 minute drive in traffic... the most congestion you will see is on Archer, but right now it's a bit worse than normal because of some construction.

waitlisted...does anyone know what the likelihood of getting off the waitlist is?

checked the fin aid update on ISIS...and basically if my scholly and loans were a mixed drink......each semester would be about 5 parts loans, one part scholly.... ....not a good tasting drink at all.

*sigh* me too still.

I'm 5 part loan, no part scholly. I guess my drink is on the rocks.

Mine financial aid package has been up on ISIS for a while now I think but I just today got an e-mail this morning that it was available. weird. for everyone still waiting, maybe they do it alphabetically or something.. who knows.

[ns77770]

I see mine too, and it kinda sucks frankly.

[thewarflamingo]

For those of you who can see your loans, how long ago did you all complete your MPN and entrance counseling?

[Barbie]

I just called and spoke with admissions & financial aid... but nothing was resolved they put me through to financial aid main campus but after a few minutes of waiting I hung up. It seems that being "incomplete" is abnormal. I can't see my loans, and I am not complete Ruh roh...

Nope, but I also don't seem to get several emails other people have gotten, like about housing and the football lottery. I get the Admitted Student Newflashes though.

Flamingo I looked yesterday and I finished my mpn and counseling 2 days before you so not sure why yours is like that. As for barbie you just did yours yesterday so it should come through in the next couple of days. If it's not there in a week then I would worry but until then I think you are ok!

Sorry guys

hmm so I'm the only one who should be worrying then? haha I'm just going to pretend that they are planning on giving me more money so they are waiting to post my financial aid package.

[prettyinpink02]

Hahaha sounds like a good plan to me! Glass half full outlook FTW!!!!

For those of you who can see your loans, how long ago did you all complete your MPN and entrance counseling?

I can see the loans (but it says "projected"). I don't see anything about having an incomplete aid status and I have not completed the MPN and entrance counseling quiz. Also, I got the email earlier today notifying me that my aid status has changed (but it was exactly the same as before the email was sent).

Oh ok thank you so much for posting this! Now Barbie and I know that our stuff is just messed up. Hmm...time to call the school!

No problem! I am glad I could help. Is the MPN and counseling quiz important? Or should I just not worry about not having done it?

Yeah you need to do both of them before they will disburse loans to you.

[thewarflamingo]

Ok I figured out why my financial aid status is still saying incomplete. I pretty much have to just sit and wait for it to clear.

[AU2010NC]

what is this counseling thing that yall are talking about, I haven't heard of it until it was mentioned on here

[massattack]

waitlisted...does anyone know what the likelihood of getting off the waitlist is?

Something I've noticed about UF students on this thread:

They only care to speak with you if you've gotten in. Think about that if you DO get in.

[thewarflamingo]

go to studentloans.gov and do the entrance counseling and MPN. The entrance counseling just ensures that you know all the information about the loans, it's basically a quiz.

Nope, we just don't know anything about the waitlist, so we can't help the person.

Good luck to those who were recently waitlisted!
