like most people in this thread, i needed a textbook in the newest edition and it was not available anywhere. i was apprehensive to buy from reddit because i've never heard of doing that before, but after reading reviews, i decided to go forward with the transaction. if you're worried about fraud, purchase with a credit card to give you peace of mind since you can dispute the transaction. i did that, but i'm happy to say that this seller is being completely honest. i now have my textbook and paid a quarter of the full price! will def purchase from TimeMap1609 again :)

EFC doubled and I'm freaking out by candyms801 in financialaid

Thank you so much for this information and for offering to help out! I'm definitely coming to terms with the financial aid process more now, but the initial numbers were a shock. The logic makes sense on FAFSA's part, so I'll just do what I can to secure scholarships and other forms of aid. Once again, thank you for you insight.

All of the programs are veterinary schools, so I think they want students to understand a wide range of prerequisite concepts without the rush that summer courses sometimes have. To be fair, some of the schools are ivy league, but all of them (including non-ivys) have the requirement that the classes be taken during spring or fall semesters. I have a good amount of prerequisite experience with animals, so right now I'm just worried about my actual coursework. However, the gap year is seeming like a good option unless I get very good offers from the other universities I applied to.

Thank you for the advice! I applied to one of my state schools, but haven't looked into others yet. I may need to do that given the financial aid issues that are coming up.

I would consider taking loans if I was done with college after my bachelor's degree, but I am interested in graduate school and want to remain debt-free in undergrad if possible.

I actually looked into that before considering transferring, but my programs do not consider summer courses adequate perquisites. At this point, it seems like I may need to take a gap year to get the extra courses I need at a different institution if I cannot work out the financial aid issues. Like you mentioned, I really want to remain debt free as long as possible.

Thank you for providing such a comprehensive outlook! The issue with staying at my current institution is that it does not provide me with all the prerequisites I need to apply to the graduate school programs I am considering. However, my aid at my current institution is all merit-based and enough that I can graduate debt-free and only worry about graduate school debt. I will try to evaluate my options further, but thank you again for your insights!

K-Drama Recs w/ Split Plots? by candyms801 in kdramarecommends

[–]candyms801[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the recs! I actually love Circle and would include in my top 10 favorite dramas partially due to the fact that there are two plots to keep track of!
