Be confident! Everyone makes mistakes and review boards generally understand this. I'll read your letter when I get a chance, but it's finals right now so busy busy.

That's a bit easier said than done; I'll try, though! I guess the whole process is just intimidating, and I feel like the financial aid people will be really unforgiving. Knowing that your academic career is hanging by a thread is nerve-wrecking.

Good luck with your finals!~ And please let me know what you think of it. I'm really looking for feedback on it.

Re: Being put on financial aid suspension / appealing.

Wow, the way things turn out. Apparently, I was able to do just enough so that I am in "good academic standing," which means I get my aid re-instated for one term before it gets suspended. I just massively freaked out for nothing, but I guess just as well; maybe I needed the scare. I do thank everyone who read this thread and gave me advice and hopefully this helped someone else out. :-)

Awesome! Well, not that you freaked out and worked yourself up, but that things worked out in your favor! Just get back into the med swing and keep those grades up now!

Re: Being put on financial aid suspension / appealing.

Yes, that's the plan. Still working on getting accommodations and trying to get organized. I never knew things for organization could get so expensive, heh!~ Bought some books and going to try color-coding and writing in a planner (let's hope I remember to read / write in it and same with my whiteboard calendar). I need to bring my GPA way up so I can transfer to my dream school!~ I can do this, I mean, I'm half way there-- got accepted.
