You'll probably get your money at the end of the month or on the first.

Wish the paid version of Adobe Acrobat wasn't so pricey, it's so useful for editing PDFs which is the file format for at least half of my programs documents. Got really used to using it in the Army and it's one of the few programs not offered for free through my school.

McNally posted:According to the VA my GI Bill has been processed and ought to hit my account in the next few days. Hooray! It might be because you might not have been enrolled in class all of January, you only get a full months BAH if you're enrolled for the entirety of the month. Glad you're finally getting your GI Bill benefits though!

I would absolutely recommend looking into the rankings of the degree programs you're interested in and try to get into a decent one. The resources provided to help you along the way can be immense in higher ranked programs and practically non-existent in low to non-ranked programs. Networking is also much stronger in higher ranked programs which vastly increases your odds of finding a good job once you graduate. Veterans are looked on favorably by admissions boards and a program you think you might not be eligible for could actually be entirely obtainable. The worst they can say is "no" so you may as well apply anyway. I had a 2.7 undergrad GPA and a merely average quantitative test score yet I still got accepted into a highly ranked grad school program. 100% GI bill will cover your tuition for any public university, will also need something else like the yellow ribbon program to cover the costs of a private school. Seriously, if you want to get the most out of your GI Bill then try to get into the best program you can for your chosen field.

I got my AA from a community college before finishing my BA at a public university. Unranked program, if I hadn't been accepted into an OCS contract I would have been stuck barely making more than poverty wages in Florida. I think community colleges are great when you're still figuring out what you want to do but the networks and resources available to students in higher ranked programs are what sets them apart, I doubt the course material is much different. You can look at the average starting salaries and employment prospects of particular programs and there is definitely a difference. The GI Bill can be used at the worst school or one of the best, so why not get the most of it? If I had gone to a similar program in Oregon their average salary is almost half of what I can expect here in Seattle.

Not really sure why, most of us are presumably using our GI Bill for career purposes. The cost of nearly every aspect of living in this country is on the rise. I had a poo poo GPA and an unimpressive test score yet still managed to get into a highly competitive program. Being a veteran gives us a huge leg up over our civilian peers during admissions, I never would have gotten into this program if I hadn't been in the Army. I really don't know what could be so debateable about higher ranked programs having better outcomes for their graduates or for suggesting veterans apply for programs they would otherwise not think they're qualified for.

You'll get BAH only for the dates your class covers. Though, if your advisor doesn't check the block that your class has non-standard dates I guess you could end up getting the full quarter/semester of BAH.
