Also from 12/2 interview - all silence so far. Hoping for this week!
Has anyone who interviewed in December heard back yet? I'm getting worried...
It seems like you're an MSTP applicant, right? From what I've heard, your process is a bit different from standard MD applicants correct?I interviewed the first week of December and got accepted the next week... So it's possible to have heard back already, but it was also very clear (I asked) that that was extremely fast turnaround and that most of the other people hearing back that day were from November interviews. They seem to give out acceptances once a month, usually the first week of the month.. according to last year's threads, people were accepted on Jan 8th. Interestingly, it looks like people always post that they were accepted on a Thursday (this year - Oct 15, Nov 5, Dec 3). So I'm thinking tomorrow is the day. Good luck to everyone waiting to hear!!!

Still no background check email for me...
After @SheBlindedMeWithScience called out the Thursday trend for post-interview decisions, I am currently glued to my email ermagerd
For those who got a background check email, did you already have acceptances from a school?
yup: "You have received this email because you have been waitlisted or conditionally accepted by one or more of the medical schools participating in the AAMC-facilitated program for performing criminal background checks on conditionally accepted applicants and waiting list applicants."I assumed that would be the only reason you'd get one, because a school that had accepted you requested it.
Also 12/2. This is me:Congrats @Benedict Arnold! I haven't heard anything yet, and my portal hasn't been updated. Anyone else from 12/02 in my boat? I swear I'm going to pee my pants

Just got my acceptance!!!!! Interviewed 12/2. Anyone else?
YeaFor those who got a background check email, did you already have acceptances from a school?
Guys I need help. What laptop do you think will be best for medical school? My current laptop gave up on me after a 5 year journey. I need sth durable obviously. I was thinking of Apple laptops since they apparently last longer and do not get viruses but I do not know how much internal memory/ flash storage to get. Thank you!
Usually with fafsa, you have to include your parent's information, or it automatically includes it. I could be wrong, but I think only the graduate school loans exclude your parent's information.
Cincinnati requires parental data, they even request that you send a copy of parental w2 to be sent in.
It depends, Only applicants applying for institutional need-based financial aid must submit signed photocopies of their parents’ federal tax returns, I would assume that merit or recruitment scholarships would not.
I'm in the same boat, esp being the youngest with all of the kids out of the house - my parents' income isn't going to help me out. Is it still worth applying to need based aid at institutions though? Like, should I have mindset of 'APPLY TO ALL THE THINGS' or no?Oh okay, I was talking about for federal loans, sorry should have clarified! Very little chance of institutional need-based aid for me, unfortunately.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated 🙂
ps by when do we need that background thing to be done by!?
I decided that I'm just going to get my parents' info and apply to everything, why not I guess. Kinda sucks having well-off parents who refuse to help pay for med school on principle. Like I'm glad they're not paying for it because I agree that you should be financially independent as soon as possible, but it kind of sucks that their success makes me ineligible for financial aid.
While that's true, neither FAFSA nor the school can access it without permission. If you don't include your parent's tax info, it won't be used.Since your taxes will be filed for the previous year, you should probably use the 2015 income. And I just mean that all your parent's tax information is already on file with the government, so it's not like you can hide it from them. They already really know. Haha.
Has anyone else's password expired for their portal here?
