[Physician2be]

[woo]

Shandon and Forest Acres area if you are looking for houses

Any advice on where to live?

Currently, I live in Hampton Greene Apartments which is only about 2 minutes from the school. If you are looking for an apartment, most med students live there or in the Hampton Court apartments which is right next to Hampton Greene. I am moving to Hampton Forest Townhomes for school which is a little further up the road but is only about 5 minutes from the school. I know a couple med students who live there and absolutely love it. If you are looking for a house most people choose one in the shandon area since it is close and is a gorgeous neighborhood.

 

[brachioplexus]

Does anyone know when we should expect to hear anything about financial aid?

I got mine on Monday. I didn't receive any email, but it showed up on the VIP.

 

[brachioplexus]

Thanks! Yea my VIP still says Confirmation of Graduate Student Status Needed and it's been like that for a month now and I'm hoping they update that soon!

I will be there!

 

[wsaedalney]

I might come too. Never been to Williams Bryce before..

 

[CERogers]

I received a letter today informing me I made the alternate list. Any idea what percent of students are accepted from the alternate list?

 

[803]

I made it as well, hopefully better chance with greenville opening up

 

[ACParra]

Hey Guys!

I got my acceptance call last week and I thought I should stop by and say Hi! to my future classmates How was the tailgate yesterday?

 

[ACParra]

Did you email the FA office? Because I had to do that so it could be updated. 🙂

Hey, so yeah apparently the "financial aid awards" are up on VIP now. Will the FA office write us an email of anything else that we may qualify for, or do you think this is it?

I would e-mail Jerel Arceneaux or maybe even call him, since he takes a while to get back to you through email. This is his number (803) 216-3629.

Waitlisted. Told that I'm in the 'top third'. Any next steps I should take? I have been working at a hospital FT so I could provide an update about that and can get another letter of recommendation if necessary.

Thoughts?

 

[803]

Did anyone interview with the head of the admissions commitee?

Nope, I'm kinda glad too. I hear he's kinda tough.

I got rejected.

How long did it take for the financial aid awards to show up in your VIP account after your FAFSA was submitted and marked as 'complete'?

Mine (and by mine just really loans) are already showing up. They said they are starting to come out after April 15th. I'm not sure about the institutional awards/scholarships though. I need to email Jerel...

How did you find out where you were on the waitlist?

 

[hokies2010]

Just call the admissions phone number and tell them that you are on the wait list and want to know what third you're in and they will transfer you to Dr. Ford 🙂

I haven't heard anything about that.

Just withdrew my acceptance offer from USC School of Medicine. I hope that one of you gets it! Best of luck, friends!

Anybody have any idea how big the waitlist is this year? I was told I 'm in the top third. Will I probably get in?

I have a very strong feeling that you will get in based on what I have heard. I believe that USC- Cola is planning to expand its class size this year. Also, you have to remember that USC-Greenville will also be "taking away" students.

Where'd you hear this?

 

[woo]

Well one of my parents friend's son is a 3rd year there and he told me a while back that there would be something like that at the end of april or in may sometime.

 

[wsaedalney]

Ah, ok. Haven't heard of anything, but that doesn't mean there won't be one.

So, is anyone looking for a roommate?

 

[guitarguy23]

How do I reach Dr. Ford? Every time I call I get Shelley.

Try emailing her. By phone is a bit more difficult. [email protected]

[riggins12]

Congratulations everyone on the acceptances! I just recently graduated from USC, and I can honestly say that I'm 100% happy with my education. I had a great time and wouldn't change it for the world. If anyone has any questions, I'd be happy to help -- just PM me. Side note, I'll also be renting out my house about 15 minutes from the school if anyone is interested.
