Roughly 3-4 weeks agoWhen did you guys finish your need access/fasfa apps?
Roughly 3-4 weeks agoWhen did you guys finish your need access/fasfa apps?
3rd week of February!When did you guys finish your need access/fasfa apps?
Got my scrub top and note from my student interviewer in the mail today! Accepted in December. I live in Chicago, so those of you farther away should be getting yours shortly!
Just received call with offer of 100K merit scholarship! So excited!!!!! Accepted back in December.
So I have a few questions about these merit scholarships, and I apologize if I am repeating anything already addressed earlier:
1) Distribution of Scholarships:
-How many students receive some form of merit scholarship?
-What percentage of students would you say receive a significant scholarship (100K or more)?
-How many of each kind of scholarships are given out? From what I can tell there is a 200K scholarship, which seems to be a full-tuition scholarship, and a 100K scholarship which seems to be a half-tuition scholarship. Are there any other scholarships? And roughly what percentage of the class receives each type of these scholarships?
2) Effect of Merit Aid on Need-Based Aid
-How does receiving a merit scholarship affect financial aid package. Let's say Student X was theoretically qualified to receive 100K in total need-based grants. If student X received a 100K merit based scholarship, would s/he not receive need-based grants?
Hoping to get some input from current students or people who know a lot about this process!
True! I noticed that as it is different than most schools.I don't have exact answers, but UChicago gives out a LOT of merit scholarships. (UChicago and Vandy are the 2 schools known for giving lots of money.) And I know for certain they don't only do it in increments of 100K (myself is an example, and countless others who posted earlier on this thread). And they certainly do give out scholarships greater than 200K, since that isn't even full tuition. (don't be decived by the 1st year UChicago tuition. 3rd and 4th years are significantly more expensive than 1st and 2nd year.)

The scholarship total is given as an even split over the 14 quarters at Pritzker. With the exception of the expected tuition increase per year, the tuition remains the same per quarter. The first year has a total of 3 fully billed quarters (Summer anatomy is a strangely financed time with tuition being a few hundred), the second year also has 3 quarters, while the third and fourth years have 4 - this accounts for increased COA for years 3/4.
Pritzker is beyond great! You should all come to pritzker and let me know if you have any questions!
Ah I just looked it up, Stanford tuition is indeed also charged "per quarter".Don't about tuition but Stanford also has quarters.
Probably in late April since a lot of second looks would have taken place already. A letter of interest wouldn't hurt.Do you guys anticipate any continued list movement in April? Uchicago ' s my single-most top choice at the movement and don't know if it's too late to send in a letter of interest.
Currently looking for an apartment since I've decided to attend UChicago (wooo!). Do any current students or Chicago natives have advice on where to look? I know about some of the bigger landlords (i.e. Mac, which seems predatory) as well as the UChicago Marketplace but was wondering if there's anything I'm missing. @NickNaylor @Tots @ChemEngMD

Not me because I'm still continued XDWho's excited for REVISIT WEEKEND!!!
What do you mean with Traffic Day? April 30th?Does anyone know if movement of continued applicants picks up after Traffic Day?

Generally yes because they will know how many people have officially declined by then. However, this is not necessarily true because if there is a larger number of people who decide to accept this year than usual, it could mean that there is very little movement on continued applicants.Does anyone know if movement of continued applicants picks up after Traffic Day?
+1000. Although I don't know who I met from SDN exactly (if it was you, message me!), but Pritzker's SLW was absolutely incredible.Second Look was so dope...definitely made a huge impression on me. I mean, I got to meet and room with the legendary @Krabbeman...it doesn't get much better than that XD
After speaking with some MS1s and faculty I think they are slightly worrying about over-enrollment due to the alarmingly high turnout for revisit.For what it's worth, there was really high turnout for revisit, which I imagine might indicate a higher yield.

We will see what happens!
Unfortunately, it seems HIGHLY unlikely anyone will be admitted anytime soon off of the continued list.
I was thinking the same thing. I don't see how only 88 students would choose to matriculate there.After speaking with some MS1s and faculty I think they are slightly worrying about over-enrollment due to the alarmingly high turnout for revisit.

You think the April snow would have scared people away.
It was fun hosting some of you and meeting some of you at social rounds. Let me know if I can help answer anyones last minute questions.
I believe the lectures are recorded. Apparently about 20 students go to lecture, from what I heard. And, there are a few required small group things (lab definitely, especially if you're the student who must present the information to your group) and there are some required electives (once or twice a week). But, this is just what I've heard from the students here. There could be more required stuff.I feel like I should probably know this already, but are the lectures video podcasted? How many people actually go to lecture? How much required small-group stuff is there?
Thanks
If you don't mind me asking, what is your opinion regarding the clinical years at Pritzker?You think the April snow would have scared people away.

I'm also still waiting - 5 weeks I think.Anyone still not get their package? I've been submitted for over 3 weeks now..
Hey Everybody,
Quick question: does anyone know if Pritzker has a Facebook page for the Class of 2018 or 2019? I have a friend who will be doing research there over the summer and is looking for short-term housing options near the school.
Thanks!
Yeah, Pritzker did too good of a job this year.Called admissions and said that as of April 28th 2 PM E.T. there are 148 admitted students still holding their admission. I don't think is looking very well for us....
Wow that does seem like a lot this late in April for 88 spots.Called admissions and said that as of April 28th 2 PM E.T. there are 148 admitted students still holding their admission. I don't think is looking very well for us....
Holy moly I think Pritzker is going to over enroll this year..let's see how they handle itCalled admissions and said that as of April 28th 2 PM E.T. there are 148 admitted students still holding their admission. I don't think is looking very well for us....
