Re: Switching SF

Which I have little to no interest in being tied to for the next 8 years. How do you come up with 8 years? The SMART limit is 5.

I was a second year student at a Community College when I received this award.

Re: Switching BS to MS

I'm the original responder, it logs me out sometimes... So if I get it and they're expecting to fund me for 4 years but I only need 2 to complete my BS, do you think I should just wait and apply for the extension closer to that time?
