Yo guys, is it game over for deferred dec to march ppl?
I thought we woulda found out by Fri...?
Anyone have some insights?
Nope, still *patiently* waiting........Has anyone that got deferred to march heard back yet? I think they said we should hear by March 15.
The week of financial judgement has arrived, may we all be granted full tuition scholarships!
How do you know this?? Is it posted somewhere?
Do they just email this information out or snail mail?Need-based financial aid packages are separate from the merit scholarship date advertised on Twitter, and will come a bit later on (likely by Second Look Weekend). Non-Dean's Merit full tuition scholarships should be included in the mix of notifications on Friday, but those recipients are not eligible for the additional perks of the DMS program (fully-funded 5th year for a Master's degree, etc). A few students were added to the DMS program at the end of our M1 year following an application/interview process, too, so technically this isn't the only round of scholarships from UMMS if nothing has changed. But short answer is 3/20 will include any range of sign-on bonuses.
Also, as the M4's gear up for Match Day on Friday, I wanted pass along a note that UMMS launched a Residency Match List Searchable Database today, in case this is of interest to anyone with respect to the decision-making process.

An important disclaimer should be made that match placements are driven in large part by student preferences (be it program type (i.e. research focus), geographic location, couples matching, etc), and there are many elaborate discussions about the utility of match lists on SDN (most recently http://forums.studentdoctor.net/thr...-match-lists-among-different-schools.1118871/) , so don't get too caught up in the specifics, but it may be worth taking a brief look since the previously available PDFs just listed everything alphabetically by last name. 2015 matches will be added in the near future.
100% of students who applied to residency from UMMS in 2013-14 matched successfully before the SOAP process, haven't heard this year's numbers yet -- this is probably a more useful comparative statistic anyhow, because a high match rate reflects both student competitiveness as well as top-notch advising.

How about the financial aid info (need based)? ... Thank you so much for answeringScholarship notifications should be sent via email. The 2nd half of what I posted will likely end up on Twitter.
email as wellHow about the financial aid info (need based)? ... Thank you so much for answering
For current UMMS students, do you think it would be doable/practical to commute 35 mins to campus each way during M1 and M2 years? On average, how many days out of the week require being physically present on campus? I'm just referring to M1 and M2 years.
Do you mean like a 35 minute drive INTO Ann Arbor or like, commuting in from South Campus of Ann Arbor (so like 2-3 miles)? Just curious, because even living, say, on central campus could be a 20 minute commute.
Thank you so muchemail as well
Finally placed on the upper-tier waitlist after months of waiting. Congrats to the rest of you, and good luck at Michigan (or wherever else you decide to attend)!
They've mentioned that they have actually admitted too many students for the past two years in a row, and didn't take anyone from the waitlist.Has there been any waitlist movement in past years?

How were people informed of scholarships?
How many scholarships do they give out? / Do they pass down the scholarships if people do not choose to go to Michigan?phone call, then email
According to the info session I attended two years ago, yes.How many scholarships do they give out? / Do they pass down the scholarships if people do not choose to go to Michigan?
So those of us who got scholarships may get different scholarships? And those who don't have one may get one?According to the info session I attended two years ago, yes.
Not IDd anyone get a scholarship with a donors name listed with it?
That would be snazzy. I wonder how soon people start declining?So those of us who got scholarships may get different scholarships? And those who don't have one may get one?
Nopers. They just told me it was worth $160k, and explained that "if" a donor's name was attached I would be required to write annual thank you notes, interact with benefactors, etc.Dd anyone get a scholarship with a donors name listed with it?
Your donor's name will be sent to you in a formal email from the Financial Aid office over the summer sometime (with instructions for sending a thank-you, etc), and many of the donors/alumni return to Ann Arbor for the White Coat Ceremony in August. There's a reception at the Michigan League afterwards where you'll have a chance to meet and thank your donors in person. Really nice that UMMS / Medical Center Alumni Society (MCAS) puts this together.Nopers.
