Just "Thanks, we will add this to your file"
First of all, good luck! I'm already nervous to be in your shoes and I haven't even interviewed yet.
I'm curious though - can you expand a little on your remark about the inappropriate religious questions?

Via email or on the status update page? I just got a "update letter submitted" auto-added to my status page. Hopefully they saw it today...
Thanks!

got a call a little while ago. accepted to class of 2018!!!
Call started around 7pm and lasted until nine in November. Got my voicemail at 8:31pm ET, so should be good for another while...
Don't start freaking out yet! I got the call more than an hour after they started, so there is still time for you to get in. Good luck!
I'm with you man.
Got the call around 6:45 CT! So excited!! Hang in there everyone!

Congrats to the new acceptees! My impression with the call vs letter is that they do as many as they can that late in the day so they just don't get to everyone -- I doubt they actively choose who not to call...
Anywho, don't sweat it til you get the mail. You may be pleasantly surprised. Otherwise, good luck!!
Good luck to those accepted. Still waiting for an II here.
For those accepted here, did you receive a certiphi request?
I got one Sunday night, which would have been before the adcom meeting. I think it was initiated by a different school.
First, TB!!!! Long time!
Second, I rec'd and submitted mine today. Makes this whole matriculation thing kinda real doesn't it?!
Hey everyone! For the tour on interview day, is any of it outside? I want to be prepared for the bitter cold tomorrow if need be! Thanks yall 🙂
I remember we had to go outside to get from into the hospital, but we were only outside for a few seconds. It was actually raining/snowing on my interview day so we just ran to get inside quickly. And you may need to go outside to get to your actual interview, if the office of your interviewer is in the hospital.
You didn't take the tunnel??
No I didn't even know there was a tunnel lol, now I wonder why our tour guide led us outside.
Mmedran! Long time in deed. 🙂 thanks for the reply! Submitted mine today as well. Definitely sinking in more now that I'm actually going to medical school.
Ha that must have been it! Luckily I'm from the area so I'm used to snow in October, but the applicants from warmer climates did seem shocked lol.
Btw are you apart of the "Class of 2018" FB group yet?!
There's a Class of 2018 FB group?!

does anyone know how many interview invites remain at this point? or when the next ones are going out?
How do you know? Is there any hold movement?
Hitchhiker's Guide reference. The meaning of life is 42.
Should I be concerned if I haven't received my financial aid packet but was accepted in October? I'm a smidge paranoid they didn't receive the form we were supposed to mail back. I did get the certiphi request though that could have been for another school.
I was also accepted back in October and have yet to receive the financial aid packet. I became a little paranoid that they hadn't received my confirmation and I called admissions... Lo and behold they hadn't so I gave a verbal commitment. Don't worry, only you can give away your spot.
Just got the packet today! False alarm I guess lol
I haven't gotten an aid packet. I was accepted in November. Just curious, what's in it? Offers of institutional aid or just explanations of how to apply for loans?
It's just instructions and requirements like FAFSA and parental income info. I imagine offers can't be made until financial need is assessed...
I didn't get any questions about religion. The only time it came up during the interview day was during the tour when we stopped by the Campus Ministry office. My tour guide even told us that she wasn't religious at all; there is a strong Jesuit heritage at the school but it isn't pushed on anyone who isn't religious. The biggest impact it has in my opinion is that it makes the school more service-oriented, and there is one more place students can go for support.
Pretty sure they can't ask you about that but nonetheless, it was not a factor at all. Also, coming from Loyola ugrad, I can tell you the religious/spiritual parts were optional--nothing is ever pushed on you, but always available 🙂
Thanks for the info. Did it say whether you needed to include your parents' financial aid info on FAFSA, or do they have separate forms for that?
My situation is: I am deciding between my state school and Loyola. I love them both. My state school does not require parental financial aid, while (I believe) Loyola does. I just filled out FAFSA and struggled with deciding whether to include my parents' info, thinking that if I did, it would lessen any potential institutional aid from my state school, but that if I didn't, I'd be closing the door on receiving any institutional aid from Loyola and thereby effectively declining my admission offer (since my state school would be so much cheaper). However, I just read in another thread that some schools that require parental info use a separate form than the FAFSA, which would be great for my situation.

Loyola does require parental info on FAFSA, but they do allow a separate sheet to explain special circumstances that may not be reflected on FAFSA, if that helps...
Thanks!
Did anyone receive an II after being placed on hold?
Does anyone know how many acceptances have gone out/ how many spots are still available? I just received an interview invite and am super excited!! I just don't want to get my hopes too high if I am basically interviewing for the wait list at this point. Can anyone give a little input? Sorry if this has been answered previously in this thread... Thank you!
