I'm not looking for the lords help, I'm looking for government assistance. Not quite the same thing despite whatever god complexes our elected officials may have.

Call them and bitch. Point out that you have rent due, car payments, gas, whatever. Refuse to get off the phone or be shunted off to Stand Eddy. Demand an answer. Point out that interest is accruing on the money as you speak.

In general, be polite but be incredibly annoying.

There is hope. I talked to them yesterday and was told the same thing (up to 14 days after class starts). However, my refund was disbursed today and I should have it in my bank account in the next couple of days.

Good luck!!

A partial amount of my total refund was deposited into my bank account this morning, but only from the Stafford loans. Still no movement on the PLUS and actually, my PLUS have not even been certified yet.

On a more positive note, SMU alumni outside of Dallas are typically extremely nice and helpful. If anyone is looking for a job outside Dallas and there is an SMU alum at the firm, I would highly recommend emailing them.

My PLUS are certified, as of yesterday. Hoping the money drops into the account tonight. If not, another hour on the phone on Monday.

Remember, if you aren't willing to work more than 40 hours per week, let your interviewers know as soon as you walk through the door. It's important to set the tone early.

Hope the interviews are going/went well. If you see a terrified looking 1L in the library freaking out about class starting, it's me. Come say hi.

Banditos has solid margaritas, Twisted Root has great burgers and $5 pitchers, and Milos has $6 any pitcher on Mondays.

GTFO of the library. Plenty of time for that later.

No worries, I wasn't there for long. We had an assignment due tomorrow and I was near the school so I thought I'd stop by and check out the library. Drinking Shiner at home is much more fun though. :)

So, how long (typically) between interview and rejection letter?

$10 to anyone who does this in an interview, but you'll have to wait to get your $10 until my loans hit my bank account.
