Have you guys heard anything about financial aid? We've been given 5 days to decide

I think it will come with the official acceptance letter in the mail. The email says we have a week to decide after we are in receipt of the snail mail letter.

Update, I called this morning and was told fin aid will be sent separately.

 

[RWTL]

Accepted off the waitlist today. Kind of seems like weird timing. Will probably decline and open up a spot for someone else since I am going to commit to a school I like better....

 

[envirohopeful]

accepted off the waitlist on Wednesday, withdrew yesterday - good luck to everyone on the waitlist - nymc is a great school!

 

[Rainbowkittens123]

Just withdrew from NYMC. Great school but I believe I belong in the midwest! Hopping for good news to all those on the waitlist!

 

[Emt2md23]

When did all of you who have gotten off the waitlist actually interview? I've been wait listed since late November lol. Not sure if it's chronological but still

[indebted]

Just got accepted off the wait list. Not sure if I will accept or not though - I never took biochem! I finished school by time I interviewed. They told me I could still matriculate without it, but that I should still take it.

I also got accepted this week to my State school as well. These are tough choices that need to be made quickly!

 

[DoctorLacrosse]

@DoctorLacrosse I am SO EXCITED for you!! I've been following your story. Congratulations!!!

 

[DoctorLacrosse]

maybe someone could answer a couple questions I have...

how long did it take you guys to receive confirmation of your deposit being received, and how long did financial aid packages take after acceptance?

 

[herndann]

[DoctorLacrosse]

I did not receive a notice; an e-mail I received much later about transcripts, move-in day, and a reminder of the deposit deadline included the date they received it. (This e-mail came to me ~6 months after sending my deposit)
Financial Aid is broken up into steps. Step 1 is the bulk of the paperwork (MPN, misc. forms, FAFSA). Step 2 is when they offer you your package, they said I would not hear back about this until ~May 25).

thanks for responding! did they send you an additional email about what forms and steps need to be done for financial aid? I haven't received anything yet but the initial acceptance email, so just wondering. thanks!

For those accepted off the waitlist, did you guys send a LOI?

 

[Emt2md23]

For those accepted off the waitlist, did you guys send a LOI?

Yes, I sent a LOI last Wednesday, got accepted this Wednesday.

 

[DoctorLacrosse]

For those accepted off the waitlist, did you guys send a LOI?

have sent two updates/interest letters, including one just last Friday (5 days prior to acceptance). whether it helped or not I don't know!

how did everyone's financial aid packages look? were there any significant grants/scholarships (need based or otherwise), or did everyone basically get loans?

From what I understand, no one has gotten anything yet. We should be hearing back by the end of May.
