Law School Discussion

Hmmmm.  I will also have to look into this.  I got the 256MB on a I9300 and put in 2GB myself for $215.

went with the Dell 600m - wanted a little bigger screen than the 700m

used coupon from here:

ended up ~$1200 with extra battery, backpack, 4 yr maintenance + accident (I'm PT law school) and 64MB on video. Went with 256MB RAM, will replace that with 1GB from Mushkin (www.muskin.com for $120 and then return the 256 to Dell for credit. Yes it's overkill for just law school but it'll probably be used by rest of family as desktop backup when I'm fricking reading all the time...

You can return it for Dell credit??  Tell me more!!

Call Dell - according to their website you have 30 days on new systems.  I'm thinking if I can get $40 out of the 256 stick it will only have cost me $80 for a gig.

Today some Dell 'GURU' told me they don't this, but surfing Dell's forum uncovered a couple threads that included directions from Dell and where to return memory - so who knows.  I'm going to try the 1 gig for a little while and then see if what happens when I call Dell.

My impression is that:

a) you apply
b) the loan company offers terms and a rate
c) you accept the terms/rates by signing something
d) the loan company negotiates with your law school on when to dispurse what funds

am i wrong?

I applied several places, stalled on signing the promissary note at all but one.  Signed the note and had the check in 2 days, no negotiation with the law school on timing.  Since school came through with greater aid than expected, I plan on cancelling this loan and sending back the check.

LawLoans from SallieMae waited on info from the school before confirming how much they would lend - cancelled this one before they ever got it.  Access Group and Chela both went through credit check and approved amount requested.

So I had something like 4-5 applications going at once in addition to the Stafford / Perkins loan.  I panicked a little since it's mid June already and I had no clue how I was going to pay for school.  After dealing with my wife's loans, I was too nervous to wait until after class started to get the financial aid finalized.
