boop the snoot posted:Oh that's a pretty important missing detail because I was wondering why you WOULDN'T go to an Ivy if you have the chance and use the GI Bill. Yeah, that's probably relevant. Without 100% GI Bill, you don't qualify for Yellow Ribbon, so anything beyond the tuition cap is out of pocket. Columbia definitely exceeds the tuition cap.

I have two semesters left and I'm oh so slowly dragging my rear end up to a cumulative 3.0 US History since 1865 - A (because the core curriculum at my last school is different than the core curriculum of this one) Fundamentals of math - A (I got academic forgiveness to have the Fs and Ds taken out of my GPA calculation, but that also wiped out my math credit) American Political Institutions - B (poli sci minor) Russia since 1855 - B Resident GPA is a 3.62 but because of the albatross of bad grades from my last school around my neck, my cumulative is currently a 2.98 I got two semesters to drag that up before I graduate and I'm trying to qualify for an honors society before I do. It requires a 3.0 cumulative and a 3.1 in my major and currently my major GPA is 3.077 By the end of next semester I should have that. It's a shame there's not really a way to recognize that I've been kicking rear end since I started school again other than the dean's list letters.

A Bad Poster posted:So I'm going to school outside of the US. I got an email from the VA saying that they'd received an enrollment certification submission from the school, and that it would go through processing. Anyone have any idea how long that takes? I'm needing documentation from the VA for my visa application saying that I'll have income while I'm in the country. ~two weeks on average. Your mileage may vary.

You also won't get paid for the 31st, so don't count it when calculating how much your prorated amount is supposed to be.

A Bad Poster posted:My classes started on the 4th, so I don't think that's it. Or maybe it is. I don't know, this is all brand new to me. To figure out your BAH, take your monthly benefit and divide by 30. That's what you get per day. And if classes for you started the 4th, then multiply that number by 27. Your monthly benefit can be figured out at the VA's GI Bill calculator. I can dig up a link if you need it.

rifles posted:Do the income verification adjustment form like up the bum said. You'll need tax transcripts for the year in question and this year if you want to adjust it that way. Most schools will do an estimated incoming adjustment as well but I have no experience with that. Remember that your tax transcript is not the same as a copy of your tax return: You have to get it from the IRS.

A position opened up that I'm interested in applying for, but a degree is required and I'm fuzzy on how to proceed: Do I say I don't have one yet (truth) and risk being auto-rejected by The System? Do I say I have one and say "May 2019" in the education field and risk getting pinged for knowingly saying something that's technically untrue? Do I wait until I graduate and risk the job being filled in the next month? (holy Jesus a month from today) I decided to talk to HR tomorrow instead. The position's at my school, so it's not like I won't be there anyway.

Accounting, 3.43/3.83 department/cumulative GPA – Expected completion December 2016 (School name, city and state)" There really isn't a place for that in the application. It's literally a dropdown box: Highest level of education completed.

I'm thinking about going to the University of Edinburgh. They have an American Civil War program and the current hotness in Civil War history is to examine the effects our war had on the rest of the world. My elevator pitch refers it as "seeing how the ripples from the rock dropped on our side of the Atlantic rock the boats on the other." There'd be a modest out-of-pocket (anywhere from $3000 to $10000 depending on how the pound exchanges with the dollar when I go), but I have enough GI Bill left to cover the entire time. Because an MA only takes one year there. Also, many many thanks to Barcley for this:
