Anybody out there?

Me, barring a miracle at UC Irvine.

I'll be at Hastings this fall, too.

Congrats, btw.

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

Yes, and looking forward to moving up north.

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

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

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.

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).

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 . . .

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

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...

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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

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

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

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.

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...

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