<p>I was on the myspace Berkeley 2010 group and this guy was talking about some June 30 deadline in which he said:</p>
<p>"the june 30th deadline pertains to the last day before the interest rates on direct loans change from 4.7% to 6.8% or something like that. "</p>
<p>What is this and why didn’t I know of it?</p>
<p>Ditto…***?</p>
<p>If anyone could give us a quick rundown of what we have to do financially…that would be a big help. I still have no clue whats going on with that. In my offer letter it says that a bunch of money has not been accepted…gaah. wth? </p>
<p>Help?</p>
<p>The June 30th/July 1 deadline was for students to consolidate loans - that is students that had loans for previous years. It does not apply to new students. Hope that helps. Golden Boy - call the financial aid office and find out what you need to do.</p>
