hi all,

i'd also accepted for may 2008 but the challenging thing is financial aid .. i've checked out a variety of lenders but none of them offer student loan due to St. James is not on their participating list .. does anybody know about this (?) .. please help asap b/c i don't want to postpone the semester ..

Hello.
Mikel here starting May08 as well. Actually was supposed to start January but reading all the negative posts ..made me want to do more research.

Financial Aid has been a problem for alot of people from what i have been reading for the past few months...actually couple of years. I am actually going to be going through Sallie Mae...but with a personal loan from them. After emailing a couple of the current students there...this seems to be the only option as i have contacted a couple of lending sources to see if they offered to SJSM. maybe if enough people...new and current student petition a lender...maybe a swiss bank lending source or something...we can make it happen.
I will do what i can from my end and if and when i feel i have made some progress, i will let everyone know.

Looking foward to meeting you in May08

Just found out today That I am in Also!

congrats.....blue...

"your my boy blue!" .... sorry I couldn't resist.

Haha Thanks!
embu8 - Did you get your acceptance package yet?

I'm looking forward to finally being in Medical School. Thinkin I should pull the trigger and get a laptop and maybe a nice lab coat.
