ParticipantI just picked up an iMac for my wife and she loves it. She signed up for a web design class to take for fun and through Apple was able to get the student discount of $100 for the iMac.
She also picked up an iTouch and Printer as the rebates covered them completely. The rebates were easy to process and she received the rebate checks in four days. She will probably keep the iTouch and sell the printer on ebay or Craigslist for $50.
The final kicker was if she were to purchase Adobe Create Suite 3.3 Web Premium (includes Dreamweaver, Photoshop, and numerous other programs) at the same time as the iMac, which was needed for her class, she would get that for $299. Retail on that directly through Adobe is currently $1599, and was offered at Apple for $1399.
Great experience, now debating on whether or not to pickup a MacBook Pro and eliminate the remainder of our PC’s that are lying around.

ParticipantYou need to fill out a FAFSA as soon as possible. The process is painless and everything is electronic. Within a few days, the school will have the information and you will be able to proceed with an application for the student loans. With a high EFC, you just won’t be able to get any unsubsidized loans. I don’t think the banks look at a declared major, but what they really prefer is a Title IV school (no trade schools, etc). I’m unsure how long the “verification” process takes for the banks, but just call the financial aid office to understand the process flow for that school.
I would try to secure funding as soon as possible as there have been a number of lenders in the FFEL program who are not offering loans as the government subsidies have decreased, lowering the overall value (in addition to the fact that there are no capital markets for SL paper right now). If the school uses the Federal Direct loan program, you should be fine.
