Don't know, but I would like them soon so that I could start prepping a budget and stuff for apartment rentals, etc.

Yeah that's really the main reason why I want to know. I like to have all my budget stuff in order. It makes me wonder if they are waiting on the letters until the 2010-2011 tuition is finalized.
On a side note, I went to New Orleans yesterday on a whim with the g/f and checked out some apartments (including that new 930 Poydras place). I would have called you and asked if you wanted to come, if it wasn't on such short notice.

Who knows?
They need to get rolling on this **** now, I'm sure we're all getting pretty aggravated. Especially those with choices to make.
Just add 10% from last year.
So as far as living expenses go. For the first year, the COA is just the 9 months living expenses (17739) and then for the next couple of years the 12 month living expenses is used, right?
I don't know any other reason that there would be two separate designations for the living expenses.

I feel like it is 9 months for 1st year, then 10 months, 11 months, and 10 months.
The finaid office is a big hot mess right now. The latest financial aid bill changed everything and they aren't known for being great at adapting to anything. They have already warned us that our aid will be later than usual (usual is two weeks to one month after classes start fyi). Plan ahead yall, come with some cash in the bank for books and living expenses.
Don't expect to get any firm numbers. First and second year include about the same amount of living expenses. Third and fourth year you get about $5000 increase for USMLE, aways, and interviews. If you live reasonable lifestyle, you will be more than fine with what the living expenses calculated to be. I easily lived in the Warehouse district without help.
So there's no place where I can find one of those pre-determined budgets with the recommended amount of money allocated to certain things? UVA gave us that stuff at the interview before anybody was even in yet.
This is from my financial aid statement this past year

Student and Activities Fee- $914

May 15th falls on a Saturday so do y'all know when the committee will meet? Will they meet that Monday? 😕
I'm pretty sure they met on the 7th (every third Friday). I'm expecting to hear this week.

Sweet!!!
I hope so too
but I would'nt be surprised if they waited until next week to meet to see how many seats they need to fill. But who knows?

Instead of studying I searched for old NO threads, and in 2005 it seems like everyone got letters after the 15th. That was 5 years ago, but it seems reasonable that the committee would still follow the same timetable.
EDIT: And then in last year's thread, people were accepted from around this week until July. So basically, I don't know anything, and be ready for a letter whenever.

I don't think they'd meet on the 7th, and then meet again a week later... i wouldn't expect to hear anything til after the 15th (with the committee possibly meeting on the 14th, and at the latest, on the 17th)
i could be all wrong tho. so who knows.
They met on the 6th.
I saw in a previous thread that some people got letters that were dated May 7th.
ED application coming as soon as AMCAS opens up! Stop talking fin aid, you're deterring me!

Just got an email this morning from Mrs. Stuckey telling me I have been accepted and due to the time constraints they were informing me via email and mailing my letter today. So they must have met recently.
However now I have to decide on Shreveport or New Orleans. Which is the better school guys?

Congrats, I'll be checking my email every second now. Good to know the timing though. It's mostly a matter of location, not much difference between the schools, I've heard great things from Shreveport in recent years but there's nothing wrong with NO.
Bds, don't you have an acceptance to Shreve? If so, no need to stress

I do, but I REAAAAAALLY would rather be in NO, I'm really stressed.
For the school or for the location?
From what I hear the schools are similar, and each has its pros and cons with no clear winner. I'm just born and raised in NOLA, and if you haven't heard, we never leave. My whole life (family, girlfriend, friends, SAINTS) is there, I'd rather not move 5 hours away. It's mostly just a bummer because I've worked so hard to get the grades to make it there and I'm being held out (so far).
I see, and there will still be acceptances given out. Have you considered emailing Dr. Eubanks to let him know that you have been accepted into Shreveport but that you still maintain interest into NOLA? Might help you out if the committee knows you're a guaranteed acceptee.
I let two of my interviewers know that I'd been accepted to Shreve (in OCTOBER!) but I'd be in NO if they accepted me. The admissions office there makes me really nervous to try and contact them, but either way I don't see that being a deciding factor especially after all of this.

Yeah, I would wait until May 15th and if you don't hear anything, at least send an email. Like you said, it wouldn't hurt.
Thanks for the update.
That is incredibly late, though, and doesn't give me much hope about the organization/timeliness of the administration in the future. It's hard to make a decision with no information and it reflects poorly on them. 🙄

Yep, wasn't expecting an email, but a pleasant surprise. Still on the "Acceptable List" in Shreveport though.
no and now i'm getting even more nervous than before.
I hate the feeling. Today was the first acceptance I received, so up until ab 11 oclock this morning, I was in your shoes. However, there will still be some movement as people who may have received two late acceptances from Shreveport and NOLA will have to choose. Also, those still holding out of state seats still have a week to decide. Stay confident
yeah, i'm nervous too... Guess i should start planning my next year like i won't get in. I know the 15th hasn't rolled around yet but can't be too optimistic anymore....
yes congrats!! i'm guessing that they already made the waitlist and Dr. Eubanks said usually the top 20 from that list get accepted each year. so right now it's
that our names are on the top of that list!!the email says "...time contstraints due to graduation, planning, living arrangements, employment, etc..."
So I guess they're saying they realize that you may have been beginning to and/or waiting to make other plans so they wanted to let you know ASAP. I'm appreciative cause I hated waiting for my dad to call everyday saying I got a letter in the mail.
Did anyone who interviewed in March get an acceptance yet?
i haven't (yet, hopefully!) and i interviewed mid-march
Ok, isn't the committee meeting again today?? Maybe we'll get an acceptance email today or tomorrow!!??!!!

You should probably just express that you're still interested despite your acceptance to Shreveport. I'm not sure how this will hurt or help you but persistence is definitely not a bad idea. I mean the committee may think, well you're a good catch and you seem very committed into being in this class so you wouldn't give up your seat or they may put someone else in your place who really needs a spot-depends on what factors they consider. Hoping for the best for you of course!
I withdrew today. I hope one of you gets my spot.

Aww thanks for letting us know. What made you decide to withdraw?I withdrew today. I hope one of you gets my spot.
