I got my alternate list news via snail mail
Got the e-mail today from SSOM... logged on to the LOCUS and viewed my awards for 2012/2013.
All loans.
Does anyone know if this is where scholarships would be listed? I am somewhat confused.... because during the second look day I was told by the dean directly that I had received a scholarship and it would be listed in my financial aid. Did I miss something?
my scholarship was also on my award. "stritch scholar award" as well.
I got an email with LOCUS log-in info yesterday but it doesn't seem my award is available to view - "inquiry access denied". Can anyone shed any light on whether I'm looking in the wrong place or something?
When I logged on and viewed my award, I received something called the "SSOM Scholar Award." $3500 for the year. I would call the office if the dean told me I would receive something and all I got was loans
Did everybody else on the alternate list get that email survey thing about still being interested?
Does Loyola reject anybody post-interview? Or does everybody who interviewed but didn't get accepted just go on the waitlist?
Anything lately? It is real quiet in here!Anybody accepted off the alternate list yet?
Not to be a downer, but rumor has it there won't be any wait list movement this year.

May I ask how you heard this?
That is pretty interesting if its true. Does that mean that they accepted too many people initially?
I heard they were still over accepted from a few current students. Not like its anything direct, but they seemed to know. 🙁
Yeah apparently that's what happened and loyola was still way over accepted (like >20 people) well after May 15th. So it doesn't sound like it there will be much movement, if any. As to why this happened and what they plan on doing if they are over accepted come August, I have no idea.
Yikes, I wonder what that mean's for us accepted people. Maybe they will have to offer scholarships to get people to defer for a year.
Yeah, I'm wondering what will happen as well...Are there any AAMC/AMA rules against over enrolling?...They post the # of acceptances granted on their website in the fall so that will be an interesting stat. Last year they accepted around 350 people. Just guessing, I bet they take ~300 initially and then pull ~50 of the WL each year. This year for whatever reason, that ~300 turned into ~170 instead of ~100. Or maybe they were just more aggressive this year.
One contributing factor could be the State of Illinois/UIC's financial instability. A lot of people who get into Loyola probably also get into UIC. Given UIC's tuition increases/poor fin aid packages, people that would have gone there in the past due to the significantly cheaper tuition are choosing Stritch. With Stritch handing out nice fin aid packages, the cost difference becomes almost negligible or better.
These comments aren't based on anything, just speculating.

Haha I don't think it's impossible... but I sincerely doubt any of us need to worry at all. Think about everything Loyola has said... everything we've all gone through to get this far... there's no way they would just pull the rug out from under us like that. I'm not worried at all.Is there any possibility that they can pick accepted students at random and say "you can't matriculate this year, we're pushing you back another"? I really hope not![]()
