No, I wasnt offered a Perkins loan, just

University grant in aid
SMART grant
Cal Grant A
Stafford Subsidized

My school says we have to decide whether or not to accept their offers by the 23rd.

I can decide how much of the loan I want though… I don’t have to take the entire $5400. Are you suggesting I not take it all?

Yeah, I am a science major and this would be considered working on research, right? I mean, I help my boss do cell culturing, Real Time PCR, RNA extraction… I thought about just finding another job, but I realized that this isn’t just some other job. She’s a medical doctor, too, so I could learn a lot from her.

I talked to my boss and she says that if the work study thing doesnt work out for next year, I could try to continue to work with her for units instead, though that requires much more work and planning…and I was thinking about saving that for my junior year when I have more experience and such.
