Thank you!not until 3rd year (but you should try and at least start med school without that stuff)
Med school financing is mostly from loans, unlike the more flexible and generous options you had for college.I talked to some folks and it looks like appealing would be hard. I knew I'd be going into a lot of debt, but I didn't realize it would be so much... I've been a low-income student my whole life and basically went to college for free (I was lucky and my school was generous) and I guess I had the flawed expectation that I would receive more in grants due to my financial situation. Lowkey there's a little voice in my head asking if med school is worth all this... Sorry y'all, I'm feeling a little negative.
If anyone did have success at negotiating/appealing their offer, please let me know! I really could use some help/advice rn.
Cost of attendance varies per school! If u have other options maybe you can discuss what other schools are offering you to Loyola. I do think weighing finances is important, and it comes down to a personal decision! My advice would be to maybe look at public scholarships available / ask the financial aid office to point you towards some maybe.I talked to some folks and it looks like appealing would be hard.

I’ve also said this before but (as a second year) I and many of my classmates have gotten an additional 7-10k during the year each year. This year my package was 7k scholarship and recieved an additional 10 k in December.Thank you!
Also does anyone know how to appeal Fin Aid packets???? Mine is looking very sad..
Me too.. got very excited when I saw the email header :/Got the email transitioning from continued consideration to the formal waitlist. Physical pain
Looks like they’re full full :,) so different from last year with no movement before the waitlist formedGot the email transitioning from continued consideration to the formal waitlist. Physical pain
Definitely don’t wear jeans.anyone been to any of the second look in-person tours? Is there a dress code or can we show up in jeans
It seems that they will offer more after you commit. LOLDid anyone receive a merit-based scholarship yet? If so, could you please say when?
What do you mean? Do you know someone who has received one already or do you need to CTE to receive a scholarship?It seems that they will offer more after you commit. LOL
I asked the dean and the admission office. What they told me two days ago was that with more withdrawing coming up, they will distribute more in the following weeks. So my understanding is that you have to at least PTE to have a chance to receive these further merit-based scholarships.What do you mean?

Yeah pretty sure that email goes to everyone on CC but am not certainAnyone else on CC get the email from Loyola saying your FAFSA was received?
I just found one! And I believe the immunization/vaccine info deadlines were in a pdf attached to the acceptance emailI just did my plan to enroll at Loyola and withdrew my other acceptances! I was wondering if there is a deposit or any checklists of things we have to do after accepting the seat. I can't find it anywhere but I know the other schools I were in had long checklists of like transcripts, vaccines, deposits.... anyone know if there is a list and if there are upcoming due dates for anything
I think we can work on most things there aside from ordering the white coat & diagnostic equipment because I don't think the school code works. I also am not sure if the 2021 nametag form is for us, although I filled it out anywayI just found one!

+1 wondering this too lol.Has anyone heard of WL/CC movement recently? If not I'm thinking the class must be pretty full?
I'd really appreciate any insight cause I'm anxious and last years threads show tons of movement around now. Help me SDN, you're my only hope...
If I'm not mistaken, the MD/PhD pool is totally separate from the regular MD pool and has a different AdCom. I could be wrong. Congratulations on your A!Hi everyone! In response to @chizel0908 and @nadesk I was accepted earlier this week to Loyola's MD/PhD program so waitlist movement is happening! I was wondering if there were any student groups (GroupMes, Slack Channels, etc.) that someone could add me to so I can get to know my future classmates and look for potential roommates? I requested to join the FB 2026 page as soon as I got accepted and am waiting to be added

Congrats to you and thanks for sharing!!Got an acceptance call from the WL earlier this afternoon! Such a dream come true. Good luck to those still waiting!
When is the white coat ceremony?When I tell you I got a surge of endorphins from the White Coat Ceremony e-mail
Saturday July 30 at 11AM! RSVP by July 1 here along with all the other prematriculation requirements: Prematriculation & Orientation Information: Loyola University Chicago Health Sciences CampusWhen is the white coat ceremony?
Yeah, I'm honestly baffled at this year's thread compared to previous years. According to SDN so far, only 1 individual has come off the WL and not a single person has come off CC (that we know of). Obviously, SDN isn't an accurate indication but you'd expect more people to post lol. Keep the faith though. You never know.Hi y’all It’s may 17th and ngl feeling a little down after I peaked at last years sdn thread. Is it safe to say the class is pretty full at this point in the cycle?
All classes in the country are full- its a matter of one person leaving one person getting filled. Thats how WL works at this pointHi y’all It’s may 17th and ngl feeling a little down after I peaked at last years sdn thread. Is it safe to say the class is pretty full at this point in the cycle?
Don't worry about that, just enjoy your summerHi everyone! I was recently accepted off the waitlist and I’m trying to get a feel for what this fall will look like. Just wondering if any current Stritch students would be willing to share what their daily schedule looked like in first year
99 percent of rotations are done on campus, or at our local other hospitals called Gottlieb or macneal. They are like a 15 min drive max. The VA is on campus.Hi! I was wondering where students do rotations for 3rd & 4th year? And is it a lottery system? It seems like we'll mostly be on campus for 1st & 2nd year? I was thinking of perhaps buying a place near the school with a partner, but if rotations are in the city then I'm not too sure. Thanks!
