The GSSP in pretty good too

11/20/2007 7:24:46 AM

being out of college debt free is probably one of the most underrated things ever.

11/20/2007 7:32:37 AM

God bless America.

11/20/2007 7:33:41 AM

Gssp is the shit, no tuition owed via tuition waiver, free healthcare, 16,000 dollar stipend for teaching and research.

don't forget the pens, and printer paper....o and the opportunity to teach the wonderful undergrads of NCSU (I actually do like teaching)

11/20/2007 7:43:28 AM

hmmm

that GSSP thing looks pretty sweet.

might consider that for grad school. i want to either get a masters or a doctorate in chemistry before i go on to med school. just because i can.

how would i apply for such a thing?

11/20/2007 7:46:35 AM

When you get accepted (at least in CALS/CVM) you are automatically on the GSSP, if you have an assistantship (RA or TA). Some departments have different stipend levels but you still get the health insurance tuition and free candy on Tuesdays

11/20/2007 7:49:15 AM

i thought you wanted to be a paramedic

ftw

we get unlimited amounts of free m&ms every wednesday where i currently work

so this would be a nice transition

what do you think i do right now

i do that a) because i love it, and b) it looks exceptional on med school applications

considering i make exactly $0 from that right now, no.

full time medics make around 30k/year

trauma surgeons make around 250k/year.

plus i love surgery.

11/20/2007 7:51:46 AM

im jealous

11/20/2007 7:52:23 AM

^X6 Don't tell them you want a masters only, lie and say u want a phd then stop after the masters. A bunch of programs won't fund you unless you're doing the 4 to 7 year deal for the phd.

haha see thats why i thought you "wanted to be one" and just headed the ems club thing.

11/20/2007 7:57:26 AM

our candy is very limited, It's only free cause thats when the secretary fills her jar. Then you have to think of small talk to make it look like you didn't come in for candy...it can be awkward at times

Give up on med school and go for a PA or NP....less school, more fun, no license to be revoked

PAs and NPs don't get to cut people open and reattach limbs and whatnot, though.

11/20/2007 8:01:54 AM

PA's have to be licensed artard

I'm going back to school next semester. Anyone have any tips for financial aid, other than the FAFSA? Or is that all some of you have done to get free school?

TIPS TIPS TIPS TIPS TIPS

11/20/2007 9:16:53 AM

11/20/2007 9:20:18 AM

fafsa didn't give me shit except for a $300 grant and a $250 stafford loan, my parents make too much

got a couple of random academic scholarships each around $500 - $1000 on my own

11/20/2007 9:21:18 AM

11/20/2007 9:21:47 AM

well, not random, just obscure

got a scholarship through my dad's company for good grades
got some local ones
looked on fastweb for other ones

11/20/2007 9:23:02 AM

11/20/2007 11:34:53 AM

11/20/2007 11:45:59 AM

^ditto..i love/loved attending NC State, but out of state tuition sucked a big one

11/20/2007 11:47:38 AM

why did you take the $250 loan even though you don't need it?
