Thanks dude! I haven't gotten anything in the mail yet so I'm in the dark. Appreciate the info!!
What does this mean?For anyone who may not have, I received an email for the pre-matriculation website this morning.
What does this mean?
Has anyone on the alt-list tried contacting admissions to ask where they stand? IIRC Dr. Weisman mentioned that they'd let us know. Was thinking about calling today but didn't know if it was too early.
It means that sometimes people don't receive emails - due to spam filtering, send error or other snafus - and I'm letting people know that they should be looking for their pre-matriculation information if they are matriculating at Miller.
Lol. So much for the “tons of alternate list movement” everyone spoke aboutso i emailed weisman and this is what i got :
"It is unlikely that we will be accepting additional applicants from the Alternate List."
not sure if this applies to just me but i thought i would let people know

How is it that schools aren't having much waitlist movement? It's like this at almost all of the schools, and even the waitlist tracker is sorta empty compared to what I expected.
Did all of the schools just over fill the class prior to traffic day, and then when people dropped ended up with exactly the right number?? LOL seems crazy
Even if they have the exact right number now there's no way they can know for sure if students in their current class won't withdraw their admission when they get off the WL at another school.
Other school's WLs are still moving. How can they be so sure they are done admitting from their own waitlist on May 9th?
They would know nobody will get accepted off alt list if they overaccepted already. I know of a couple people who fell in love with UM at second look and turned down more prestigious schools for them, which makes me believe this is the case.
does anyone know what the orientation schedule looks like? I couldn't find it on the site or on past posts. Trying to figure out if my family is allowed to attend any part of it!
Email Dr. Weisman! No guarantee it will work, but they responded favorably to my petitions.I was accepted nearly 2 months ago and have no gotten any financial aid. Anyone else in that spot :/

I emailed twice with no response. But yea I have no leverage either...I was accepted around the same time. I requested and was granted an expedited scholarship decision, but I had the leverage of the impending traffic day and scholarships at other schools. Miami has a reputation for being money receptive, but I'm afraid you may not have much of a bargain chip now. Email Dr. Weisman anyway. He's pretty great about this.
(Also, I'm assuming you mean you haven't gotten a scholarship offer. If you haven't gotten your loan package, that's a problem.)

So from what I understand you will likely need to have 2 months worth of rent money (first month and a deposit) before the loans disperse. If you don't have cash savings, some credit cards allow you to use checks which you could then pay off with your loans when you get them.What are yall doing about apartments? I noticed my loans dispurse on the 3rd of August, but orientation is like less than a week after that.

I'm not sure if there's another way to handle it, but this is likely what I will do.
Can anyone give any info on student housing? I remember them vaguely talking about it during my interview day ( I think I remember them mentioning Brickell...). I was unable to attend 2nd look...
Also does anyone know where we can look for housing (and getting roommates)?
Haha! I don't think so. If they do, I'm super jealous!Does anyone know if UM offers full tution scholarships to most of their MD/MPH students? I’ve been hearing this a lot.
LOL I'm paying full price so that would be upsetting newsDoes anyone know if UM offers full tution scholarships to most of their MD/MPH students? I’ve been hearing this a lot.

I think a lot of people get travel grants to do research. Something like a $5,000 grant. Not full tuition hahaOk sorry lol it was just a rumor I heard. maybe they’ll give you a little something something.
Same thing is happening to me I wouldn’t worry about it too much!Has anyone gotten any checks in the prematriculation website? I’ve been going about some of them and sent in my transcripts but still see nothing checked off and it’s making me rlly nervous

You only submit one primary. I don’t think it matters which program you check off, as on the secondary everyone has an option to apply to the combined program. (It’s all the same secondary but the combined program has a few additional essays)I'm applying this coming cycle, but I don't see a 2018-19 thread yet, so I'm hoping one of y'all can help me out. I'm applying MD and MD/MPH so the miami website says to apply regular MD and then indicate you want MD and MD/MPH on the secondary; however AMCAS has options for applying to MD or MD/MPH on the primary. Was it like this for y'all last year as well? Did you submit two primaries (one MD and one MD/MPH) or just the one MD primary and then indicate on the secondary?

I wish. I know of one of my classmates that's on a full-ride but most everyone else is taking out loans haha
@teeayejay The classmate that’s on a full ride, would you by chance know his/her academic stats (like UW GPA/MCAT)?
@teeayejay do you happen to know how often we have to abide by the dress code? If you go to lecture do you have to dress professionally? What about over the summer for the MPH classes?
hi everyone,
I was wondering if ya'll think there is any hope for seats to open up any time soon for us waitlisters? Do people typically drops seats at this point given that its mid May?
