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.
Thanks for sharing this. It's also worth noting that if you aren't a dependent and have a spouse, regardless if you file your taxes jointly or separately, you need to disclose their info too.https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/fafsa/filling-out/parent-info
I figured since most of us probably all have the same questions, this will be helpful. Parental information is required for the FAFSA if you are filing as a dependent.
Yes. They responded when I sent in post interview update within the week.Just wondering, after sending in a post-interview update, should I be expecting an email confirming that the admissions office received it? Thanks!
FYI for anyone still waiting for an interview - the last day offered is January 27th.
At my interview two weeks ago, we were told interviews were only going through January.Last year they interviewed through March so I doubt that's true.

We were told that the committee was fairly backlogged due to the holidays and it would be at least 4 weeks before we heard anything. When did the admissions office let you guys know you wouldn't hear until the end of February?Hey, did they tell you when you'd get a decision? They recently told Dec18 ppl that we wouldn't hear until the last week in February. Just wondering where that puts the timeline for interviews after Dec 18

See that's what I was hoping lol thank you! Because like 3 friends I interviewed with back in December all texted me IN SHOCK about that timeline. Maybe they meant last Friday in January I hopeI interviewed last week and they said that we'd most likely hear back around the second week of February. Hopefully that means that you'll find out then also instead of waiting until almost March!
Wow! Let's all hope they grossly overestimated!Last week on Tuesday. They said the last Friday in February is when we'll get a decision which will be close to 11weeks post interview for us![]()
For me, it was actually in the CARE/Crawley buildingThe interview day is held in the Medical Sciences building, right?

I have a friend who interviewed then Dec. 18 and received the same email. He's hoping that they meant the last week of January and not February. Hopefully that's true and you all will find out next Thursday! It really seems such a long time to wait and doesn't seem to match up with the other interview notification dates.Hey, did they tell you when you'd get a decision?

Also interviewed Dec 18th. Just called the admissions office and the woman I spoke to said it must have been a typo and that Friday the last week of January is when we should be hearing back. She was really nice and kept apologizing for it! I'm so glad we might not have to wait til the end of February!!
This might be an obvious question lol, but could anyone please confirm that the check-in location for the interview day is just the Admissions Office (Medical Sciences Building, Suite E-450)?
Any current students who could speak to community service/public health opportunities ?
This is great, thanks so much!We have many options to get involved with community service in a medical capacity, which is a great opportunity to reinforce the clinical skills we learn every week and put them to practice.
We also have a program called Med Mentors, where students are paired up with elementary school kids for 1-2 years to help them with school work and just hang out with mentees as a role model and additional support. If you are interested in working with children there are other opportunities with lower commitment levels including tutoring or volunteering at the Ronald McDonald house next to Childrens Hospital, and this year we have had some additional opportunities with the organization A Kid Again.
- Medical Volunteers of Cincinnati has clinics twice weekly at homeless shelters where students work as part of a team to provide basic health care
- UC Open School is a similar opportunity to work as part of an interprofessional team providing care at the St. Vincent DePaul Food Pantry on Saturday mornings
- Urban Health Project is an 8 week summer internship with a variety of opportunities to work with clinics, shelters, and social service agencies.
- Racetrack Clinic is a seasonal free clinic run at a nearby racetrack to provide care for the workers.
Finally if you are interested in global health, one of our UCCOM alums founded the Village Life Outreach Project which takes students every summer to rural Tanzania working on projects including providing care at the Health Center or mobile clinics, distributing mosquito nets, working with engineering students to build a school, water filtration and nutrition programs for school children.
This list is probably not comprehensive but clearly there are plenty of opportunities with a variety of time commitments.
to follow up - i know cinci doesn't have an md/mph dual degree program, but do you know of any students who take a year off and pursue an MPH?We have many options to get involved with community service in a medical capacity, which is a great opportunity to reinforce the clinical skills we learn every week and put them to practice.

Does it bother anyone else how NOBODY is posting or responding on the Facebook group? All my other schools are super active on theirs! I think maybe I'm just a little over eager about meeting people and learning about Cincinnati and what not.

Doing interview reviews: Not a fan of MMI. Beautiful buildings. Prestigious Pediatric hospital. Great quality of education. The Starbucks was tucked away in one of the hospitals and I was not allowed entry without some keycard while most hospitals in America allow access to food and coffee for general public?? (I drink lots of coffee, specifically Starbucks). They were very vague about end time, which left me with 7 hours to waste in the airport since I was in the 7:30 AM group. Cincinnati as a city was kind of Ehhh. This is the most expensive city in the country to book a flight to.
Grade: C
The new starbucks sounds pretty awesome, I guess I was kind of bitter on my day since my hotel coffee was pretty bad and couldn't get my morning ice coffee. I take coffee very seriously haha. I would definitely like to come back and explore sometime, but let's just say I will be driving and not flying haha 😉I feel your pain on the coffee struggles. This may be irrelevant to your interview day experience, but the good news is that the Starbucks just down the hall from MSB next to the hospital cafeteria just very recently reopened following an expansion! No key card needed and very convenient for study breaks 🙂
Great to hear your opinion! Hope you get a chance to come back sometime and explore the city. We have plenty of events and activities to choose from on our free weekends.
