So it has to be this Friday or early next week right?? I can't imagine they would be making decisions after or during Second Look weekend.

ya i would think so. I feel like any last As would have to go out asap (if there are any more to give out) since second look is so soon

I agree. I also haven’t heard anything. Is there a number I could call and ask to check my app status/ask if news is going out tomororw? I don’t want to be a bother to them but I’m dying over here in anctitpixari

Also waitlisted 🙁 I guess it’s nice to finally have an answer though
 
sorry reporting super late but was off SDN the past 10 days or so but also got a WL email on Wednesday after late Jan interview
 
For current students or anybody that might know:
1) Is pre-clin 1.5 or 2 years? I'm a little confused by the 3 "phases"
2) How are clerkships graded? Is there a cap on who gets honors / does it generally feel very competitive?

Pre-clin is 2 years, and I believe there is a cap on who gets honors based on where you rank from your clerkship grades. First two years are completely unranked Pass/Fail though. I don't think it feels competitive at all right now, and I think most people would say the same (unless you're gunning for ortho out of the gate or something).

What year are you?

Just withdrew from the WL here. Feinberg just isn't financially feasible compared to other options now. Hope it helps 🙂 I encourage anyone who's not seriously considering to drop as soon as you come to that realization!

I could't agree with you anymore. I just withdrew from the waitlist too. The school and the location are so expensive.
 
How many of y’all are going to live by yourselfs in Chicago? Do most people get roommates?
 
Has anyone been able to click on Accept fin aid on the CAESAR website yet? I've already accepted grant/scholarship by signing physical forms, but have not been able to do so for the online portion.

Also have not heard back. Do all of you have other scholarship offers you’re trying to get matched or just asking for more money?

I got a scholarship offer from another school matched, but I already had existing merit scholarship they just had to increase it a little to match. I’m not sure they’ll just give you a scholarship or increase your scholarship just for asking. They seem good about matching though!

Who did you email?
 
I had a large scholarship from another school. Northwestern didn't match, but they did increase my scholarship today. Overall they offered me a decent amount of $$, but still about 50k less than the other school, which to be fair is lower ranked

How long did it take for them to work it out with you?
 
Does anyone know if most of Feinberg’s WL offers (if any) are made in early May or do they tend to wait longer after April 30?

Based on previous threads, most acceptances off the wait list go out right after April 30th on May 1st and May 2nd. However, I think some other acceptances were also reported later in may and even early June. Hope this helps! My fingers are crossed for all of us
