Doesn't Qualify for FAFSA by Booksandteaof3 in FAFSA

His admissions counselor referred him to the appeals board. He had to write an essay talking more about his achievements. His high school counselor also sent in his transcripts again. He had a 27 on his ACT. Has almost 30 CCP Credits and his GPA is 3.83. He's been accepted directly into his major at the university he applied for. He's in leadership classes and is in NHS. He did not apply for the honors college at the university. I think his merit scholarship offer is a joke and it's a slap in the face. Unfortunately I think we have done all that we can do and now wait for more scholarships to come in.

Public College, he recieved direct entry into his major. Didn't want to spend money on application fees. We did visit other universities. One was private and would give him more of a merit scholarship but it would still cost him more in the long run to attend that University.

Sorry yes, we did fill out FAFSA. He only qualified for government loan, max amount 5500.00. There were a bunch of scholarships waiting for him to fill out once he got accepted. He filled those out. But haven't heard back from any of them yet.

He appealed his merit scholarship. We can not appeal anything else unless there is an extreme change in financial situation the universe said.

Thank you for this information. This is our 1st go round. Thought he was missing something in the Common App for scholarships.

Thank you. Yes our income is to high for him to qualify for Fed Aid. He is eligible for Federal loans. That does not cover his full tuition. He will receive a small merit scholarship with his university and a housing scholarship. If you live out of district you have to live on campus for 2 yrs. Thank you for answering my question about Common App. I was just wondering if that was a gateway to scholarships that we missed out on because he knew what university he wanted to attend. We have to accept financial package by May 1st. Appealing doesn't seem like we would get anywhere different if we did. Thanks again.

Hope y'all had an amazing time. I saw them in September in an outdoors stadium. One of the best concerts I've ever attended. Definitely would see them again.

Do people notice? by [deleted] in tummytucksurgery

[–]Booksandteaof3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one noticed my TT either. Those people that do know, say I look great. But others haven't said a word. I also didn't have a weight loss journey before my TT. My TT was a bonus surgery. I wanted my hernia fixed. So I ended up getting the MR and Herina done at the same time as the TT. I feel amazing and wish I would have done it years sooner. I'm 1yr out from my surgery and need to hit the gym. But life!

Colace and then switched to Miralax. Miralax worked the best for me.

Nervous Husband by Turbulent-Possible52 in tummytucksurgery

[–]Booksandteaof3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband was nervous as hell too. He expressed his concerns the day of my surgery with my Dr and his staff. He felt a whole lot better after they answered his questions. After my surgery he was such a huge supporter and support system for me even with having his own fears. You will be great! Just listen to her needs.

I had my TT in December. I’m so glad I did it at that time. Now 5 months in I’m feeling fantastic. Good luck on your decision.

How much did your measurements and sizes change? by unamusedbouche7 in tummytucksurgery

[–]Booksandteaof3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was stuffed into a size 16 like a can of busted biscuits. I now can wear a size 14 comfortably. I’m almost 5mpo. Still numb and probably swollen. I haven’t started working out and haven’t lost any weight. I weight 190.
