We can't order our computer from Dell until we get our CaseID, which still hasn't come
Yeah you can. Go to the ID website, put in your SSN and name, and, presto! Case ID.
Yes, it would've been nice if any of the people I called and talked to for over an hour 2 weeks ago could tell me this. I got transferred from place to place, inluding the tech help desk, and NO ONE could come up with that answer. They told me it would go out with the information packet in a few weeks.
I wouldnt worry about not getting your financial aid stuff as I most havent got their financial aid info packets although they were mailed out last week according to the financial aid director who I had to talk to about my "fafsa review." Honestly though, its not a huge deal as they wont put your stuff in until the first day of orientation and as such you wont get any money until mid-september. While that blows, it is standard operating procedure for schools, or at least has been the case for my other friends in law school which totals 7 diff schools.
Yes, and I think all that blows, too. I had my seat deposits in at 2 other schools before I heard a peep from Case, and both of those large schools disbursed loan funds into the students accounts before the official beginning of the school year. Its not like they're giving me money; it's just a loan! And it's not even their money they're lending!
I'm glad everyone else seems at peace with the process, but I'm doing EVERYTHING COMPLETELY off loans for the next 3 years. I quit my job, I'm moving out of my apartment a 6 hr drive away to a new state and city where I know no one, without any financial reserves or help from anyone else financially. My fault, my problem, I know; I just can't believe I'm the only one in this situation, and the only one who's a little stressed making plans without being able to sign a piece of paper that says "all the money will (eventually) be there".
