Under this section for applicant financial info "Enter total value of assistance received from federal, state, or local welfare programs (other than Social Security)" I. Do stimulus checks count in this category? II. How is Medicaid valued in this category (medicaid is technically a welfare...

So I have yet to reach out to the Air Force (which I’m told is even more selective) or army officer recruiters. But I was speaking with a navy recruiter today about the FAP who told me I wouldn’t qualify to join the navy as an officer because of my poor undergraduate GPA (I graduated in 2013 and...

So I finally got accepted for the fee waiver for submitting dental school applications. I read the email and it says I have to use the application fee waiver withing 14 days of receiving it? "Submit your ADEA AADSAS application within 14 calendar days of being approved for fee assistance...

Just trying to figure out a timeline, since this process has historically been very fast but is heavily delayed due to COVID-19. I submitted on May 1st, but still haven't heard back yet... When did you submit and when were you approved/are you still waiting?

I am taking the time during the quarantine to work on my applications and look more into the actual process of applying this cycle (I am taking two gap years and am finishing my first now). As I'm looking into applying, I was trying to apply for the AAMC's Fee Assitance Program (FAP). I am...

Am wondering if FAP is supposed to be submitted all at once in order to receive the waived fees for all 20 AMCAS schools, and that you forfeit the remainder.

I have a question about the Financial Assistance Program that I couldn't find with the SDN search function. I am planning to sign up for the Financial Assistance Program if I (hopefully) match into a civilian psychiatry residency this upcoming March. I am also interested in completing a child...

Are all secondary applications waived for FAP students/applicants? I ask this because I plan on applying to 40+ schools w. the FAP.

According to the MSAR, the answer is unambiguously No for all prerequisite coursework. However, I wrote this email to USUHS admissions just to be sure. Let me know your thoughts, I will post the reply from USUHS once received. Working full time while completing missing prerequisites did not...

So I sent in the paper work for FAP around May 20th or so when they started accepting paper work for assistance. The Program Instruction I downloaded says it takes 4-5 business days to process the work for approval or denial. Did they start processing on May as they receive paperwork or on June...

Hi all, I know this question has been asked in various forms but I've searched all over this site with no clear answer to my particular question: Should I claim "disadvantaged status" if I presently consider myself disadvantaged, but may not have in the past? I qualified for FAP and definitely...

Has anyone received the AACOMAS Fee waiver for this cycle (2018-2019)? If yes, how long did it take to hear back from them?

I'm about to start AD in July as a 60W (psychiatrist). I'll be a O-3 with less than 2 years because I am assuming (from reading other threads) I will not be given any prior service for residency or fellowship (7 years in all). Can anyone break down what my pay will look like when I finally get...

Hey all, Elected to go with a full ride to state school vs HPSP or USUHS out of state and have an interest in dermatology. While I recognize like everyone says derm then changes as med school progresses, I really have enjoyed it in shadowing, especially MOHS surgery, and was just curious about...

For those of you who have ever gotten approved for the Fee Assistance Program, did you ask every school to waive their secondary fee regardless of if they mention offering assistance or not? How successful were you in getting them waived? Thanks!

Hey all, I would really like to serve for a period with the Navy in military medicine at some point in my career. I was accepted for USUHS and HPSP but was then offered a full ride to Wayne State which seemed too good to pass up. I am now debating between taking HSCP during medical school to...

I am currently a high school senior who is going to likely be offered an ROTC scholarship to help pay for my undergrad tuition. I also want to become a Radiologist, and I have been looking into one of the medical programs the air force has to offer, but what I've found is that any service...

Hello friends. During the course of college I have recieved the federal pel grant. Additionally, I have recieved the Fee Assistance program for applying to MD schools. I guess the trend has been that higher socioeconomic students get into school, whereas lower class do not make it as much. If I...

Hello All, I entered all the info for my previous years tax returns/w2's (2015) since I didn't have access to the 2016 info, and now need to submit all the documentation to support my information. A few quick Q's: 1. The application for 2017 opened on Jan 4th, but obviously my mother and I...

Hi- I'm currently serving in a domestic volunteer program that covers my room and board and make way under the federal poverty line. However, while my parents are not well off, their income is probably slightly over the 300% level. Due to other expenses, they are really unable to support me...

Hey all, First let me say thank you for any insight. This forum has been very valuable throughout my pre-med experience and I appreciate it. I was recently accepted to several medical schools, including USUHS, and am trying to decide on the best pathway for myself. I've talked to several...

Hey all! So, I got my AADSAS Fee Assistance Program approved and I used it to pay for my primary applications. Some schools sent me an email saying that if I was approved for a fee waiver, then I should email that to them to use FAP as a payment for my supplement. Does that only apply if I...

Somehow I cant find a thread answering my question. Does someone knows how to write a letter of explanation for the FAP. I am not able to provide my parent W2 because his employer never gave him one. The FAP guide only says "Copies of 2015 Federal tax returns (including the 1040 tax forms, W2s...

Hey guys, are there any cons of using FAP besides waiting for the award to be awarded, if so how long does it usually take for them to give your award? Would faxing it make it faster for the documents to reach AADSAS?

Hi all, I'm 24 and currently a graduate student getting my Master's of Science in Athletic Training (graduation 05/2017), my grades are (uGPA 3.5, sGPA 3.65, gGPA 4.0). Unfortunately, I wasn't flirting with the thought of medical school until I started this program. After hundreds of hours...

I am planning on applying for FAP here soon but it asks for my parents income. I do not have any contact with my mother and my father is about as reliable as a 3 year old. I have been in legal guardianship since I was 3 and my grandma was appointed as my guardian. But it says online...

Hi everyone, I'm a DACA student who wants to apply for the 2017 cycle of DO and possibly some MD medical schools. I'm trying to apply for the AAMC FAP program but had some questions about it... call me stupid but I'm so ignorant and have no knowledge when it comes to taxes.... Being DACA I...

Hopefully this is not a frivolous question though I seem to have a penchant for that, but is there any relation between getting FAP and being seen by adcom's as being SES disadvantaged? For example, if you do not get FAP are you precluded from being considered SES disadvantaged? Does FAP...

Hi everyone. I am considering my options for both paying for medical school and possibly service to my country. As such, I have done some forum reading and other research on branch specific websites on HPSP and FAP in the navy or air force. I am a female late 20s person with recent acceptance to...
