I saw couple new people added to their facebook group this week so they probably accepted people but those people probably don't post on SDN
Yeah I also find it really weird that no one on here would’ve been pulled off yet considering how many people reported getting waitlisted.
Maybe there are significantly fewer spots this year - reducing the odds of someone on SDN reporting being pulled.
FB shows 185 and that includes 5 Admin. So if 180 of those finally going to SLU then do the math. They have 177 admitted last year as per MSAR.
Then at this point were just waiting for some of them to be pulled to go somewhere else lol. I guess we'll see some movement in a week or so.
Hopefully some of those already moved to other schools and forget to let the admin know that they are gone.. so they can be removed from FB.
Can't decide whether the slu threads from previous years are a good indication of what movement will be like this year or not - so far it doesn't seem that way, unless spots are freeing up more slowly than usual. Just gonna blindly say that maybe next week will be better for us sdn folk. Have a good weekend everybody!
Has anyone with federal loans from undergrad done something about requesting further deferment during medical school? I contacted my loan service provider and they said that SLUSOM isn't eligible for federally backed programs, including school deferment?? I am super concerned now because there's no way I can make payments on my loans during school.
Check with SLU Financial people. Hard to believe they dont get federal Grad loans for their students and same goes with deferment. Why they will pick SLUSOM and not other private Med schools. Didn't you get something on your Financial pkg about applying for Grad Plus loans ? I read somewhere that undergrad and grad loans are deferred even during Residency. I think you got some wrong info. Let us know with your findings..
I think it was because my loan service provider used SLUSOM's code to determine the eligibility but when we apply for financial aid, we use the main university's code. I think it's all good now
do yall think its too late to write a letter of intent for this school? I think they said the wait list rank is static, but then in the same sentence they say to send updates through the portal.
Yeah i called today and the lady said there’s movement. Weird that absolutely no one on SDN has been accepted from the waitlist.
It's a sign that the cycle is almost over sadly. I'm still hoping for some waitlist love from this school but who knows at this point.
Just got off the waitlist! Notified 12:01 PST, OOS, LM 70. Given 1 week to decide and $100 deposit which will “be applied toward your tuition.”
I’m assuming more movement will occur a week from today since some who were accepted today may turn down the offer by the 1 week deadline
. You are mixing the 2 thoughts up. Yes you can apply for deferral of Undergraduate loans. SLU has nothing to do with it. You can pay the interest only, or defer the whole ball of wax. Depending on your loan you can defer and just be charged interest without principle. It has nothing to do with med school and what loans they have. Goin on is a totally acceptable reason for deferment.
Just called the admissions office and the email was not a mistake - they want to update the list. They need to fix the permissions on the form and said we should be able to access it with the original link in ~30 mins. Edit: looks like it's working already.
Anyone get a confirmation email of completing the form? Did it on my phone so i was worried it might not have gone through
your good as long as you sumbited the second page, no confirm email. Did everyone get the update email tho I wonder?
@accepted people. So initially i didn't get the SLU endowed scholarship and i moved on with my life, but I checked again and it was there! for those who have been accepted it may help to take another look
