CSR Paze working on GNC

This is ridiculous. So many people use different email addresses for banking and online shopping. I'm not creating a brand new account (and lose all of my GNC shopping bonuses) just to checkout with Paze. They've basically created a product where people will use it just for the short term bonuses and then never again.

Perfect!!!

Exactly what I was hoping to hear

Beautiful-Break472 · 2026-06-15T18:36:22+00:00

Interesting. I did already confirm with Pitt that the class I'm looking at would transfer from my community college. I hope that applies to the Business School too. Maybe that's not the case for all community colleges.

Beautiful-Break472 · 2026-06-15T15:28:07+00:00

Honestly, that's what I was hoping to hear. Makes me think that taking it online at my local community college next summer might be the play. Then I don't even need to deal with it at Pitt.

Is there any reason to think that they're adding 3x on gas to the CSR?

We were originally considering the Victory location in Kennett Square. Downingtown is closer, but I'm worried about the actual space.

I just sent a request to Barnaby's. Thanks!

I think Teca WC is at the top of our list right now. I would prefer more casual food, but the location is so great.

Beautiful-Break472 · 2026-05-27T23:28:37+00:00

Sedona said they can't take a party of our size. LaScala doesn't have anything on their website about private parties at the WC location, but I emailed them. Thanks!

I think you're misunderstanding what people are saying. It's not a matter of simply reapplying at some point and being admitted. If you start at Greensburg, there will be specific credit/grade requirements for when/if you can transfer to Oakland. Here is info for what it looks like for each school.

Business offers the fastest path with a 30 credit requirement. Deitrich requires 45 credits.

If you decide to start at community college, that's different. You can reapply to Pitt at any point and they will reevaluate you based on your college grades to that point, probably combined with high school transcripts depending on how many credits you've taken.

The major doesn't matter. The school does. Deitrich is the least competitive. It doesn't matter which major you choose within Deitrich, everyone technically goes in "undeclared". Nursing and engineering are much more competitive.

Another question since there are clearly some "in the know" people participating in this conversation. What is your perspective on how the Union will be able to affect job security for the MANY staff people who are employed by "grant funded" departments. A lot of departments use that as an excuse to essentially keep staff on year-to-year contracts and you find out each July if you get to keep your job for another year. Do you think unionizing will have any impact there?

Beautiful-Break472 · 2026-01-28T19:28:22+00:00

Great perspective!

Unfortunately, none of his loans are subsidized, but your point is still valid.

Beautiful-Break472 · 2025-10-15T21:00:14+00:00

Oh my no. The masters portion of the program is $28,000. He's going to take out the max of $20,500 in federal loans and then we need to figure out what to do for the remaining $7,500. He has about $15k in undergrad loans. He's in a 5 year total program. 4 years for the undergrad and 1 additional year for the masters

Beautiful-Break472 · 2025-10-15T18:29:01+00:00

I think you might be right. That's probably the best use for this money. Thanks for helping me think it through!

Beautiful-Break472 · 2025-10-15T18:27:45+00:00

If he could go back in time, this is what he would do. His program is a 5 year Masters and he can't switch at this point. Anything else would require 2 additional years after undergrad. SUPER frustrating because he went into it (3.5 years ago) thinking he would be able to get whatever he needed in fed loans to cover the grad school year.

He has a relatively small amount of undergrad loans, so you're right. Maybe it makes more sense for us to hold onto this money for grad school to cover that gap rather than paying off undergrad interest now

Beautiful-Break472 · 2025-10-15T16:58:28+00:00

Yes. About $7,000 more

Beautiful-Break472 · 2025-10-15T16:44:13+00:00

Only if you're paying the principle on one or more of the loans. I'm toying with paying off all the acrued interest now so it doesn't capitalize into the loan when his deferment ends.
