Curious-i'm applying during this upcoming cycle as an OOS--do you have to specify which location you want (Tuc or Phx) on your secondary- or they'll decide that if they want to admit you?

Thanks! If I want to apply to both, is it double the fee? Do you know which site is more receptive to OOS?
no. it's only one fee.
they are both equally receptive to OOS students, with up to 25% of the Tucson and the Phoenix class being offered acceptances.
I think this year's incoming class of 48 at Phoenix has 36 IS and 12 OOS
Will it still be that way this year? Aren't they listed separately or something now?
Financial aid packets,anyone?? Almost may 15...
Hey all,
few questions, sorry if they have been asked before
1) What sort of response did you guys write to admissions to accept your acceptance?
2) I received an email earlier this morning linking the Tucson Orientation Information website. Did you guys get this earlier? My log in isn't working, are yours?
Wanted to check this website before I called them.
Peace,
ACE
before I let them loose. Erik, MedHopeful, SmokeyGrey, you guys on here much?
Thought I'd post here b/c it's looking like I'll be officially accepted within a week or two. Any online resources I should check before asking lots of questions? I'll definitely make sure I read through old posts (only 12 pages?!) before I let them loose. Erik, MedHopeful, SmokeyGrey, you guys on here much?
Nice to meet everyone else! I'm Rustin.
I don't think I've posted here yet, but why not start now?
Rustin, you haven't said much about what you think about the Suns/Lakers match up yet. I am waiting (rather impatiently) for the game tonight! Go suns!

It's going to be tough with the Lakers, as evidenced by last night's game. The Suns HAVE to keep the tempo up, and make the Lakers play small ball. The series is going 6 or 7 games either way. If the Suns can control tempo, and get some of the calls to go their way, they may advance - but I'd say Lakers will probably take it.
Hey everyone, I'm Allysa!
I just wanted to say hi! I was accepted on Monday to Tucson.
I have a couple questions. I sent in my letter of acceptance for the offer today and was curious if after this you receive a big packet in the mail with more info? If so, how long did this take for some of you? Also, have any of you received financial aid offers yet?
Nice to see you on here MadeIn!
Can't wait to meet all of you in August!
Congrats again on the recent acceptance (I told you this on the application thread too). As for big packets, unfortunately no. It seems they want to save the money and paper and do it electronically. Also, no financial aid info yet either...
In other news, MY WIFE GOT A TEACHING JOB IN TUCSON!!!! Yes, the all caps is intended to signify me yelling that. I am super excited. I was so nervous that she was going to have a hard time finding a job in this economy. We had to drive her around so she could introduce herself at a number of different places and show initiative, but it worked out. I guess it just goes to show with a lot of effort you CAN find a job in this down economy. Oh man, I am going to be so excited about this all night! She's gunna have to be my suga' mama all through med school now!

Phoenix people -
I got an email last week saying the class website would likely be up yesterday. Do you guys know if it's up and how to get to it?

hey J, Did you get it? I just got access to it today. http://newstudentsphx.medicine.arizona.edu

Hey, congrats! That'll be really helpful! My wife wont be working much through med school - is there a name for that like sugar mama? Maybe whole wheat mama . . .
Awesome! Congrats to her (and you, especially). My wife is my suga mama right now, too. It's great.
...she does remind me constantly, though, that I'm going to have to reciprocate in the future. And of course, I'll be happy to.
Congrats, lrk and wife! That's great news! Hopefully my husband can accomplish the same....
Thanks for the congrats. What field does your husband work in?
Well, that's the tough part: he's an opera singer. He actually just finished his Master's degree at Indiana University, but he has performed in Germany and was considering a 2-year contract over there. It seems that he has now decided he is sick of us being apart (which I am, too, as we have done long-distance for 3 years now), so he'd like to do something here. He has taught music at a Montessori school before, so he may consider seeking a charter school position (he doesn't have teaching certification) or may work towards certification in education for the next year to teach in public schools (if they don't eliminate all music programs before then, grrr). He may try to do some things with AZOpera or Phoenix Opera Theatre, but nothing is set up yet, so we'll see. It's a tough field, and it sucks that he has the opportunity to sing professionally in Germany but doesn't want the lifestyle.
Hey Everyone,
I have been following on this thread for quite a while and have to say thank you for the info you guys put, its beyond helpful!!! I cannot wait to meet everyone in a few months! In the meantime I was wondering in terms of all the stuff we are suppose to do before starting, is there a link where we can order the white coat? Because apparently we are suppose to do it before the 25th of June, and I am going to be out of the country, and want to do it early, but cannot seem to find a link for it!
On the same note is anyone able to enroll in the classes that they mention?

Hey guys. I just noticed on the UAccess system that my financial aid info has been loaded. I'm not sure how long it has been up but you might wanna check it out and see if yours is up too.
And just fyi, I got one scholarship and one grant for a total of $2750, and everything else is loans. During undergrad this would have been a nice chunk of change but now it just barely makes a dent. What have I gotten myself into??? LOL

If I understand the conversation I've had with Keli at Phoenix correctly the bulk of scholarships (those given out by the committee receiving information from the scholarship application) have yet to be given out and are expected later in the summer.
My financial aid is also up. I got the same scholarship and grant combo adding to $2750. I guess that's better than nothing...Heck, over 4 years that's over $10k, so its really not all that bad for free money.
It would be nice to get more scholarship money later this summer too...
The "medical scholarship" thing or whatever that is currently listed on your fin aid isn't a scholarship at all but another grant (per Keli.) So in reality, basically no scholarships have been given out yet. Confusing, I know.
My grants total 4,750... probably because I'm OOS.
I am most likely going to Tucson... who wants to have a joint celebration at the beginning of the year with the Phoenix people too? I'm really excited for next year.
That would be awesome! I'm in!
Hello Everyone, my name is Jon and I will be attending Tucson this fall. (that kinda sounds like I am in a support group) So anyways, I am starting to stress about housing. I want something quiet yet close to school, is that even possible with undergrads? Does anyone have any ideas or places I should be looking?
Thanks in advance,
Jon
I'm not really in the market to buy so renting is the way for me. Does anyone know if the school offers any assistance or has a way to contact a local that can help?
Thx,
Jon
