Im waiting on this school to be my only acceptance
Sat morning, wow!Accepted of the WL here on Saturday morning, IS!
I was accepted off the waitlist last Saturday after sending them 2 letters last month. I'm not sure how much more waitlist movement will happen, but it is worth a tryWould it be okay to send just a letter of interest/intent through email? I don't have any signifiant update but I really hope to attend this school (was waitlisted after interview - IS). I couldn't find anything regarding letter of interest on the school website. Please reply if anyone knows this would be a good idea! Thank you!

The main admissions email, [email protected]What email did you send your letters of interest to?
Did they respond to your letters. I have sent two directly to Dr. Whitehurst-Cook; however, I have not received any response from her. So I think I should just fwd them to the general admissions email :/The main admissions email, [email protected]
Yes, I received an acknowledgement both timesDid they respond to your letters. I have sent two directly to Dr. Whitehurst-Cook; however, I have not received any response from her. So I think I should just fwd them to the general admissions email :/
Nothing about financial aid yet, though others have said it might be mid-June (though they keep pushing that estimate back). You can find your eID on the "Orientation Checklist" page by scrolling to the "Locating Your eID" link and filling out the relevant information. You can also access your VCU email once you have that eID. Hope that helps!VCU hasn't given us an update on financial aid yet, correct? It looks like we haven't gotten our VCU eID yet either so we can't check our financial aid status... Has the school given us any clue on when we'll find out?
Did your portal ever update to show your VCU ID and e-mail? I located mine months ago and can log into the e-mail system, but my portal doesn't show my ID/e-mail.Nothing about financial aid yet, though others have said it might be mid-June (though they keep pushing that estimate back).

Nope! Those fields are still blank for me. Well, my Banner ID shows up, but the other fields are still blank.Did your portal ever update to show your VCU ID and e-mail? I located mine months ago and can log into the e-mail system, but my portal doesn't show my ID/e-mail.

+1 I was thinking about calling this morning. I'm an OOS, so the idea of moving again in two years or a two hour commute is terrifying.Anyone else surprised that the INOVA assignments are out already? Any current students know anything about this process? How hard it is to get them changed?

Can any current students speak to the pros and cons of the inova program?
Did you get an email or something about this? Also, is anyone getting VCU SOM emails to their VCU email account yet?Anyone else surprised that the INOVA assignments are out already? Any current students know anything about this process? How hard it is to get them changed?
You can set it up after getting your eID (eID finder.vcu.edu). I've been using my VCU email to communicate w departments on some questions, but I haven't received any important announcements yet.Have we already been given VCU emails...?
+1Where can you check these assignments?
So I'm still a little confused about financial aid..are loans/scholarships the only type of aid offered or do they also award grants/other need-based aid?
I believe if you take out all of the grad plus loans, that should cover the CoA. After all, the loan amounts are based off the CoA from what I've read.I'm confused too. Did anyone's loans add up to the total cost of attendance?
Thanks! I did not have any grad plus loans though I did receive them in other schools' packages..maybe they will add them on later?I believe if you take out all of the grad plus loans, that should cover the CoA. After all, the loan amounts are based off the CoA from what I've read.
Apparently about half of the class receives or has already received scholarships, anywhere from 1.5k to ~15k based on need. That's what was said during the financial aid seminar a few weeks ago, at least.So I'm still a little confused about financial aid..are loans/scholarships the only type of aid offered or do they also award grants/other need-based aid?
I think you have to apply separately for Grad Plus loans (using StudentLoans.gov), and you can apply for them to cover up to the COA? If you call the VCU financial aid office, they should be able to detail how to apply for Grad Plus loans. Don't quote me on this, but that's my understanding of the process.Thanks!
