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

Anyone get off the waitlist yet?
Apparently there has been movment, but doesnt seem like anyone from SDN
Yeah i called today and the lady said there’s movement. Weird that absolutely no one on SDN has been accepted from the waitlist.
Maybe theyre just moving really slow....or thats just wishful thinking
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.”

Did they call you or email?
email!
I interviewed early December and was WL’d early February. I was emailed
. 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 reluctantly withdrew-- should open up a spot for one of you guys. Good luck!
I wasn’t able to. I emailed them and told them.
Same here, just emailed them as well

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.
The link is now alive and well! Was just able to access it

I didn't get it initially either but it's there now! Thanks for the heads up! So stoked right now!
Withdrawing from the waitlist. Good luck everyone!
I saw that someone got in today via the reddit waitlist acceptance tracker. I wonder if movement continues into early June?
No connection to SLU but just wanted to pop into this thread and say that a friend of mine just got off the WL this week.
