It's not Loyola it's AAMC I believe
If you wait until after April 30th you could potentially forfeit your spot – don't risk it.
I know it's an aamc rule but the penalty (or if there is a penalty) is up to the school

TL;DR: You have worked your butt off to get into medical school. Don't ruin it and abide by the AAMC rules.

Where did you hear they already accepted 350 students?
Stritch will notify you of an acceptance or rejection up until the end of the cycle. There are a couple people in my class (I'm an M2) who were accepted the day before class started. Unless you get a rejection, it is safe to say that you are still on the continued consideration list. Update the school if you can to show continued interest/give the committee something else to talk about in regards to your application. Loyola loves to feel the love. As others have mentioned, Stritch does pull from the list as spots become available, but it is hard to know when those spot will be available. April 30th is the next big day we'd expect to see students drop their acceptance to Loyola to go to other schools, therefore opening spots. After that, spots will open up as students get accepted off waitlists and decide to go elsewhere. Hope that helps! For now, don't lose hope! You're not out until you get that rejection email!
At second look day they said they had offered 350 acceptances to date
I believe for those accepted earlier, the financial aid package/scholarship info email followed a couple months later following our acceptance.
And last year there were 372 acceptances offered so there is a likelihood that there will be some movement after April 30. How much is yet to be determined as my classmates mentioned above! Happy to answer more questions.
It's always nice to see our health system receive this honor: 100 Great Hospitals in America | 2017. Clinical training at our school is awesome!
Just withdrew my acceptance + merit scholarship. Hoping the spot and funds go to an awesome person still waiting here! Good luck all. Stritch is a great school and it was hard to say goodbye.
Do you guys think the committee met today?

Got one today.
Does anyone know when titer tests prior to matriculation are due/if there is anything else we need to complete prior to orientation?
On that note, do we need to send an official transcript?
I found this pre matriculation checklist on the website for the c/o 2020, so I imagine it'd be similar for c/o 2021:
http://ssom.luc.edu/media/stritchsc...ion/documents/Pre-Matriculation Checklist.pdf
and that came from this page Pre-matriculation & Orientation Information: Loyola University Chicago Health Sciences Division, which has more info. Though I didn't see anything about the titer tests. I'm wondering that too
Actually I found the info regarding immunizations in this document, also from Pre-matriculation & Orientation Information: Loyola University Chicago Health Sciences Division

Hello Everyone! Just joined SDN, but long-time lurker. I was accepted on October 17th, 2016. Wanted to say hi to all of my fellow Loyola University Chicago Stritch SOM class of 2021 SDNers! For those of you still waiting to hear back, keep your chin up because there is still time and hope! I'm sure there will be movement after April 30th, as I have just withdrawn from other schools I was accepted to. Good luck!
For those of you who have been accepted - how is apartment hunting going?

It's a bit rough, but if you're on the FB page the google doc is a god-send for finding roomies
Just sent in my acceptance withdrawal. Loyola was the first school that offered me an acceptance so it was hard to let go. I hope one of you will get a chance to attend this fantastic institution.
Any recent outright acceptances or acceptances from the continued consideration list?
Withdrew, Good Luck guys, hope one of you get my spot.
Anyone know if there is expected movement for this school? Or has anyone heard back after being put on continued consideration?
Did anyone else receive any e-mails about combined MD/MPH degree from the director of the MPH program? I am on continued consideration but the e-mail made it sound like I was already accepted and they are letting me know that I can start my MPH classess from this summer... kind of confused becasue I didn't get an acceptance call yet.

Hmm, I didn't get that email. I would call them and see what it means. It'll be interesting to find out. If they intentionally sent it to you, I think it's almost safe to say that they have little to no interest in those of us who didn't receive it and are on continued consideration.
Well, I had specified on my Application that I am interested in the Dual program. Did you say that too? It's possible that they sent me the e-mail b/c of that....but, fingers crossed!
Thanks, it was both!
If you have insurance you tell your PMD to
order the titers with indication "preventive care". My titers are free because of that.
Although I think that might depend on what kind of insurance you have for it to be free
Call your insurance provider and verify this before you do it!
no response since my interview in feb
Anyone know how many people normally come off the waitlist? I haven't heard anything since September
My colleagues answered that question earlier. There are too many factors that come into play to determine a number. To give you a number would be a disservice to the process. Just keep updating the school when you have meaningful updates. No need to stress yourself out by trying to figure out the inner workings of a process that itself has some components of black magic due to confounding variables.
Anyone get an update?

Just received an email about the official waitlist. It is not ranked and people may get off the list up until the start of classes, July 31st 🙂 wonder if there will be a lot of movement this year.....
