[readereader]

Anybody out there?

[General Tso]

Me, barring a miracle at UC Irvine.

[ps6060]

I'll be at Hastings this fall, too.

Congrats, btw.

[vb007]

i'll be there... are any of you guys from the LA area?

[ps6060]

Yes, and looking forward to moving up north.

[cal_08]

from the LA area as well...need to figure out my living arrangements.

[leron]

from la area too and need to make living arrangements. think we're on to something, dudes.

[leron]

for those that have accepted already, did you receive fin aid packages? im curious about the amount of grant I may receive and wonder if I need to accept first. I already turned in the other docs.

[readereader]

re: financial aid, I think they said it takes two weeks for them to process your application once all the materials have been received (I think, but I don't have the letter in front of me, so I can't be sure).

[ps6060]

Haven't received any financial aid materials yet--just a notice that tuition has been increased, and that it might continue to be increased at any time. Seriously, how much will a public education cost in California by 2012?

And to those from the LA area: Is "hella" still the preferred adverb of Northern California? If any of us start using it, I'll have your back if you have mine . . .

[leron]

haha - do you mean that you'll set us straight if we start using hella? i have you back, then

[vb007]

any of you LA guys going to one of the admitted students days? if so, which one? i think i'll probably go to the one in march. maybe we can setup a carpool...

[google]

Anyone know if Hastings is providing travel reimbursement for their Admitted Students Day?

[leron]

I might be down to carpool but not sure I can make it yet. ill be keeping an eye on this thread.

haven't heard anything about a travel stipend from hastings.

[vb007]

considering california's budget crisis, i'm guessing travel stipends will be pretty hard to come by without some serious proof of need. i suppose it's worth a shot though.

[General Tso]

Anyone else that has decided on Hastings?

[beckysoc24]

Anyone else that has decided on Hastings?

i think so. waiting on money, and Berkeley (very unlikely but who knows?), but as of today, really excited about Hastings.

[leron]

i'm really excited for hastings. just waiting for the fin aid package. davis offered a nice grant and I hope hastings will do the same

[jawsome]

i'm going. very excited.

anyone figure out how to set up your email account? or do you have to wait til school starts or something?

[vb007]

i read somewhere that they set you up with an e-mail account during orientation in august.

[leron]

LA folks, did you just get the email about the alumni event?

Thursday, March 19
6 to 8 pm

Anybody going?

Yeah, I got the e-mail. I'll be going. Are you gonna be there?

[leron]

debating. seems interesting, but not important. plus i'm a cpa and this is the busiest time of the year for me. it would be hell leaving work early and trying to get from downtown to century city at 6 pm.

[vb007]

maybe you can manage if you let your boss know a couple of weeks in advance that you have to leave early for that one day. with that much notice, there's no way he/she can stop you. maybe it would help if you came in early that day as well...

[jawsome]

i read somewhere that they set you up with an e-mail account during orientation in august.

That's what I thought I read somewhere too. I read the instructions online and...uh...what.
