I think every one gets this scholarship, but it's not all the aid offer. Hopefully not.

 

[MCATSCRUBS]

Did anyone get a Dr. Choy loan package in the initial financial aid?

On their website it says,
“
SSOM Scholarships

These scholarships’ recipients are nominated, reviewed and selected by the SSOM Awards Committee or a specific SSOM department based on the award criteria listed.”

So I am not sure if everyone gets this?

also got this but mine was only a few thousand, not sure if that’s the entire aid package lol

 

[biggkahuna]

Is there a dress code for second look?

 

[blendedspaghetti]

After opening LOCUS on desktop, I see the COA for Stritch. I’m surprised by the tuition. Does it show about 50,000 for everyone? I thought their tuition was about 60k.

I did. I do not know what that loan package means lol.

 

[MCATSCRUBS]

same lol.

 

[MCATSCRUBS]

same lol.

When you guys are booking hotels for second look, make sure you mention Loyola Stritch so you could get a discount rate.

 

[ten_15]

same, $5000 lol not sure if this is the only 'scholarship aid' they give?

 

[MCATSCRUBS]

All my aid is all loans except for that SSOM scholarship. This was really my top choice, but if they decide not to offer any scholarships, I will likely be withdrawing since I have scholarship offers from other schools.

So you did get offered loans from ssom?

 

[MCATSCRUBS]

Yea. Financial aid package on LOCUS is updated.

 

[MCATSCRUBS]

Also financial aid office only deals with need based aid and not merit. If you want merit, you have to email admissions. This process sucks and I am kind of pissed.

I thought that you don’t apply for merit scholarships and the Dean just awards them to students?

This is correct

Oh, maybe I misunderstood what they said on interview day.

 

[emsee10]

Does anyone know what the dress code is for second look? Also, do we need to bring a mask and our vaccine card?

One of the Loyola students said business casual/comfortable, so not too dressy.

Has anyone from Feb 28 or March2 interviews received A call?

 

[MCATSCRUBS]

just confirmed in the webinar that pre-clinical is 1.5 years now and was implemented with the current M1 class.

 

[Comprehensive-Sink85]

did anyone get more than a few thousand in financial aid (from SSOM scholar award)? :,)

 

[kirbydoughball]

just confirmed in the webinar that pre-clinical is 1.5 years now and was implemented with the current M1 class.

woah i had no idea. is this a good thing? i feel like it is but also hopefully they dont stumble too much in this transition to 1.5

Even though it will be fast paced, it has benefits like early exposure to clinical, more time for away rotations during 4th year.

 

[futuredoctor42]

Has anyone heard back from Feb 28/March 2nd interviews?

 

[munnabai]

Has anyone heard back from Feb 28/March 2nd interviews?

I am still waiting

 

[chillsauz]

Does anyone recall if they have internal rankings or anything similar?

 

[la vida loca]

Does anyone recall if they have internal rankings or anything similar?

I’ve heard they have some type of ranking for deans letters and such

 

[kirbydoughball]

Does anyone recall if they have internal rankings or anything similar?

according to what students told me, yes. about 30% is based on preclinical while the rest is on clinical years. you are categorized into groups. i forgot how many, but i think 4-5 groups named "exceptional" "meets expectations" etc., something like that. so you won't have a number, you're rather in a quartile or quintile.

 

[ss1255]

has anyone received any correspondence from the 02/16 interview week?

 

[lexiej28]

For anyone that went to the second look event last Friday, did they offer your individual financial aid packages?

[ss1255]

Yes the deans confirmed this during second look day

 

[Luna00]

Just got the A call today! Interviewed the last week of February.

Hi, y'all! Does Loyola have in-house written exams or NBME-style exams? I think it should be NBME-style multiple-choice, but I wanted to double-check.
