The Rat posted:Quick question. Once you start going to school on the Post 9/11 GI Bill, do you have to keep going through and get a 4 year degree within 4 years, or can you just use a year here or there? Like say if one were to do a year with one college, get fed up with it and go contracting for a while before coming back. Couldn't find confirmation from the VA website I skimmed but im 99% sure you can start and stop using it at any time for 15 years. What you may be referring to is the fact that if you use Post 9/11 you can't convert it to Montgomery at a later time

Rrail posted:Like on what grounds did they admit you? What did they judge you based off of? High school GPA I guess.....they didn't outright accept me to mechanical engineering but "engineering undeclared" which I was able to change after a year of good grades and poo poo I don't know if military experience had anything to do with it but of the 64 credits they "took" zero applied to my degree(I had 130 total from the military(lol))

Forgive me for most likely making you sound like a broken record but I'm pretty much in the same boat in a year when my GI Bill runs out. The other poster said he got his 10% through the VA after he got out, so how is that rated by the service?

Kanish posted:On the subject of pell grants , my old va rep at my other school was awesome and took care of everything for me and I was just getting checks in the mail, pell grant being one of them. My question is, other then filling out my fafsa( it gave me a projected pell grant amount) what do I need to do to get the money ? I've already paid tuition in full so i have no balance with my school. My school automatically has any grants/loans placed in your school account and typically after the VA pays the school you get them as a refund. Not sure for other places but this is how mine works e: Call your school's VA office assuming it has one :p genderstomper58 fucked around with this message at 06:13 on Sep 15, 2011 |

front wing flexing posted:If I'm still in my first year out, actually, first six months, would I qaulify for FAFSA since I made money last year? You mean the Pell Grant? The FAFSA is what you fill out in order to determine eligibility for grants and loans. I got out 6 months into a year as an E-5 and still got a Pell Grant, probably about half of the maximum. Thank goodness for not counting BAH as income

I'm sure this has been asked befire, possibly by my slow self but how do you all report GI Bill/grants/disability pay/BAH on taxes and FAFSA? Last year I got a 1000 dollar tax credit for education with no reported income so I'm scared that I did something wrong. I don't get any sort of tax forms for any of this poo poo except something from my school(1098 I think)

Vasudus posted:Yeah, your BAH will be recalculated to be 80% of what you are currently getting (10/12=83%). For some reason my university precal was 5 hours, made no sense whatsoever because it shouldve been more condensed. He might be at a place where they do calc 1-3 in 2 classes instead I literally cant muster the give a gently caress to care about diff eq again god plain rear end math is so boring and needlessly difficult considering literally only one of my engineering classes has it as a prereq

Luckily I can still knock out other areas of study and maintain a full load while I slowly chip away at it. I've had to retake all 3 math classes I've taken since calc III. Perhaps it is time to give a slight gently caress(yes I'm partially to blame but seriously math professors are all terrible just let people with masters that can actually teach do it!!!)

Yeah, my universities' department seems to have 2 kinds of math professor: person that can literally barely speak english(lol bigot) or old rear end tenured dudes that don't give a poo poo about teaching. Usually getting a TA is your best bet to actually learning in class which says quite a bit.

Spongebob Tampax posted:I plan on cramming my entire pre-calc poo poo into summer semester. After this last algebra class I just need pre-calc 1&2 instead of it being broken down into trig and geometry. Then I start the Calc and analytic geometry 1-3 cycle of doom. Nah dude, not trying to sound smug because my math isn't awesome but precal isn't too bad at all and IMO barely prepares you for calculus at all. As soon as you learn a lot of calc all you need to know is their rules and algebra. Some geometry is needed but not a great deal IMO, poo poo you'll be taught in precal anyways. Why do you need algebra? Seriously not being a dick but if you can bypass them do, its just basic math.

Rrail posted:My dad was a resident of illinois, is a veteran with 100% disability, and I may end up going to school there. I wonder if I can get free tuition out of that state. Ours has a stipulation that you must be out of GI Bill benefits before using it, so if you can use that one it might not be until your GI Bill runs out, assuming they go by similar rules. Probably best to look up Illinois rules since they're separate programs and I don't have a clue if one was modeled after the other.
