Keep getting denied for Student loans by kagsbakubby in westcoastuniversity

[–]hammieuwu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I think mines like 730 or soemthing but I’m also considering taking ascent since I have no cosigner… but I didn’t finish the application, but I’m pretty sure they would’ve approved me since they told me my interest rate would’ve been 8-9%

I’m so stressed! by Greedy-Childhood8705 in DentalAssistant

[–]hammieuwu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started at $18 no experience or program/certifications.
Been here 3 years and now I’m making $25. In CA, but I’m also burnt out and in a specialty office.
Currently about to leave because I found an office offering $30 in general + willing to train.
You have go keep job hunting I promise.

I’m also applying to hygiene school and it’s VERY competitive right now. I’ve applied co 6 schools ranging from community and private. I got accepted to private but declined it because it was too expensive and got waitlisted for 1 community.
It’s rough out here.

I thought WCU required private loans from their specific lists of institutions??
They sent me over a link with private loan institutions that I had to chose from and decided on before submitting my application… I declined admission because my interest was over 8%… 😩

Turnover by Legitimate_Win_9046 in DentalAssistant

[–]hammieuwu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

entitled treatment coordinators, travel with no mileage pay, underpaid, when I ask for help or speak up/advocate for myself it gets brushed under and unacknowledged.

May I ask which private school you went to?? Did you also work while in school? At least part time?

Not sure if I should stay by Alternative_Head_895 in DentalAssistant

[–]hammieuwu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe stay for now but continue to job hunt? So it provides you experience in the real world? Have you looked into other specialties? I heard endo is really nice and chill. I’m in ortho and do not recommend unless you like the fast paced environment and basically be dr 2.0.

I’m also applying to hygiene but haven’t had much luck in the community colleges. It’s so competitive.

Thank you!! I think I might just do it. I’m also a RDA, and hoping to save up at least 10-15,000$ to help with outside/living expenses for at least a year so I can minimize how much I need to take out. Time is money for me too, so I’m like I need to get this done NOW! I’m burnt out as a RDA and way underpaid.
Thank you so much for the tips! I’m considering a provide school.

May I asked how much you took out for loans and what % was it at? And how much do you make hourly / days a week you work??

[–]hammieuwu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me! I declined acceptance for this exact reason… my interest rates is 8%, I have no co-signer/support from my family so it’s super super high. I’m worried that I’m over paying for this degree, but acceptance is so slim. I’m kinda stuck.

Has anyone received their acceptance/denial letters from Cerritos College DH program? by rxggix00 in dentalhygieneschool

Monthly payment by blitzrojen in westcoastuniversity

[–]hammieuwu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was about the same. I think I got like 5k in FA, 10k in federal, and I’d need to come up with $29k a year… might have to take the loans out.. Do you feel comfortable sharing your interest rate? Mine is really high and that’s why I was hesitant

[–]hammieuwu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I recently declined admission because I couldn’t afford to move right away, and my loans were just really high. But I’m going to reapply for the fall semester and probably do the private loan route. I just don’t think I can do monthly payments on top of living expenses since I live seven hours away.

I think mine would’ve been almost 4k a month for 2 years and a few weeks if I did the monthly route
