This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Does anyone know if you'll still be considered for a merit-based scholarship even though you already got a partial need-based scholarship? Sorry if that sounds greedy, but I need all the financial help I can get at this time.

Just wondering, how long does financial aid packages arrive once you’re accepted? And is this via email or through portal?
 
Congrats! Did you send any extra info like letter of intent or updates?
Sorry for the late reply, I don’t get on here frequently. I had a few updates that I talked about during my interview. I then sent a letter with those updates to make sure the admissions committe had that info.

I was accepted in early February and received an award notification by email in early April, but that was just loans. Scholarships are notified by phone call though and that can be anytime.
 
Already withdrew from here since I just got loans too, but Dean Kallenberger said that scholarship money should've been freed up by now and that they'll be sending out scholarships through May/June depending on funds.
 
I'm very confused since I'm on the 1st tier but still didn't get an offer before students in 2nd tier

Hm, that's interesting. The only possible explanation I can think of is they were looking for someone specifically to fit a certain demographic and they no longer had anyone like that in the Tier 1 list. Best of luck to you!
 
Just got in off the 2nd tier waitlist with a partial scholarship!! Loved OUWB although another state school I got into is still a bit cheaper, so this will be a tough choice.

Congratulations Dr. Brightside! I'm excited since you're the first person that I know that I got an acceptance from the 2nd tier. Praying for some good news for the rest of us still on the waitlist.

Congratulations! Did you send any letters of interest/intent or updates? Also, when you sent your primary, the other day did you send it to OUWB?

Sorry for all the questions, I'm still panicking about getting in this cycle haha.

Thank you! No worries! I definitely understand the panic. I sent in a letter of intent and fairly recently sent an update letter. When I sent my primary the other day I did not select OUWB. I had only selected my state school. I was still deciding on other schools. They wouldn't know if I had selected OUWB until AMCAS starts transmitting to schools later this month.

Also low key, got into a pretty bad accident a few weeks ago while helping the homeless and had to go to my university's health office and eventually the ED. They had asked about my post grad plans and learned I was waitlisted. Part of me thinks they had sent a letter in support of my application but who actually knows.

Best of luck! Hope you hear good news soon.
 
Holy smokes! Was accepted off the 2nd tier today! Resubmitted my AMCAS a few days ago and wasn't expecting to get the call with all the 1st tiers still remaining. Low key didn't do so hot my last semester...I hope they won't rescind their offer.

Congratulations! So exciting to see people accepted off the 2nd tier waitlist. When did they call you?
 
I had one of my friends withdraw about 1.5 weeks ago and someone had just posted yesterday in the Facebook group that they withdrew. So some of you may hear back with some good news. Numbehs may have taken the spot of my friend.
 
Can any M2-M4 tell me when you start participating in clinical activities as an M1?
