Well, I just accepted everything at the maximums. lol Fuck itttt. Going to have some nice spending money for this first year haha

Go big or go home. I'm going to sit down and read through everything thoroughly tonight, but I cannot imagine a scenario in which I wouldn't take max loans out. It's NYC and I'm still in my 20's...

Dude, exactly.

I knew we were going to be friends! You have the funds, and I have years of encyclopedic knowledge of every bar within stumbling distance of Bobst. A winning combination.

Lol Sounds good

Cilent, if you got the first round, I'll definitely get the second. I too am extremely generous at bars.

And Jeeves - there are no free rides here, pal. You got the third

Jeez, and here I thought I could survive on my cunning and ability to forge alliances.

Nope...

[sgtgrumbles]

Yep. I did a phone survey about NYU Law with that company a few moths ago in exchange for a $15 Starbucks gift card. Not a bad deal to basically rant about the awfulness of the LS admissions process for 20 minutes. I'll probably do the online survey if it's not too time consuming.

Lol I like this

So LRAP is pretty much the most ridiculous backwards program ever, but at least I understand it now. What a [hugely beneficial] mess

[thecilent]

BUMP.

[parsi]

finally finished accepting all the loans. I too accepted the maximum.

Hopefully after first semester I can gauge how my finances are and then cancel part of the loan in the second semester.

[legalmindedfella]

Just to confirm: if I accept the maximum this year, I can take care of the total student contribution by accepting lesser amounts during years or two or three, and be 100% LRAP eligible? That seems to be the group wisdom so far, but can't hurt to ask.

The overall hilariousness of this thread so far also makes me really excited to meet you all. Good group.

This is correct. You just have to make sure that the amount you decrease total over the 3 years is equal to your three-year SC (likely $5100).


(Note that if you take an SA job where you're making more than $15,000 in a single summer, your SC will increase by the amount by which your salary for that summer exceeds $15,000.)

For paying tuition through loans, do we just print out a copy of our account on esuite and just write loans pending at the top and send it in?

That looks to be the way to do it, according to the packet.

The hilariousness is going to drive us all to drink ourselves stupid before school starts.

Not upset at that fact in the slightest.

seems kind of odd but oh well

They're trying to play to the public interest base, apparently.

I still haven't gotten my packet. Ignored, as usual. Sigh.
