yea i already tried going through FAFSA but my dad didnt file taxed last year so he couldnt prove his income so they said i cant get financial aide till i can get that.. grr i was going through Sallie Mae whcih has been around for years and i applyed by myself and got denyed cause i dont have credit so my mom cosigned me and got approved for 11% intrest cause she has a 195k loan out for her home so if i cant find someone else to sign for me by the first of the year then im gonna have to pay $2,000 more on the tution cause its going up 2000 on the first of the year.. grrr i dunno im so lost she was basically my last resort and i didnt even want to ask her but i had no choice. now she is on vacation in brazil and i cant even get ahoold her her to talk to her about it so i dunno what im gonna do... hopefully things will work out
