So
Someone here said they are in at udm. Have you accepted your loan package yet?
I am not sure what to do yet. I want to hold out since they’re next to eachother , but I don’t know when I have to accept my fin aid package

I did at MSU I believe they just cancel the loans
Justvibin123
8:43
if they disperse then you will have to pay them back
Justvibin123
8:43
I am sure this happens all the time so you're not a rare case if that helps
So- if you accept it for tuition and they disperse, how would you get that money back to pay the loan? I would assume the school doesn’t give that back
But like, should I not disperse // accept yet? Or what if I wait too long?
Justvibin123
10:23
I think they have to return it
