+1 for the brochure, lol. It's nice but I'm still waiting for that official acceptance letter/email and going to be pinching myself until it gets here

Hang tight. I was told that the brochure mailout is totally separate from the acceptance packet. They had to wait for the dean to sign off on it and I believe Dr. Daniel signs them too.

Yup, they need a handful of sign offs and apparently when many of us were accepted, the Dean was out of town so they were waiting for him to return. At least that's what I was told when I called on Thursday
 
Just got an official acceptance email with descriptions about OASIS. Anyone else able to login to OASIS and see what the financial aid is?(Post-4/30 acceptance)

How long did it take for you guys to receive any financial info after setting up your USF email ?? Did everyone receive an email about it or was it just available in the OASIS ??
 
Congrats to everyone who got accepted, If you all have any questions about USF let me know. I am currently a 3rd year about to be 4th year in ~2 weeks, so I should be able to answer a good chunk of your questions. Also I'm CORE but know a lot on people in SELECT so I probably should be able to answer questions about both programs

I was told there's a process where the admissions office sends our name and UID# to financial aid. They then upload some documents into OASIS for us to fill out. If you log into OASIS and do not see your financial aid documents, contact admissions first. They may route you to financial aid to see what the hold up is. If you were accepted recently, there's a process so you may not have been fully processed yet. If you were admitted before May, then your documents should already be in there (from what I was told). Financial aid reaches out over the USF email with notifications but you should check OASIS to access the necessary forms.

I just got a notification email about mine this morning to my USF health account. For reference, I got accepted April 30 and set my email up last week. Hope this helps!
 
Looks like there's a gap in between receiving loans and receiving other forms of financial aid though
 
Anyone know any of the FB group admins? It’s been days and they haven’t accepted my join request

They took a few days to approve me and a couple other people as well, like 4 days or so? I'm guessing they don't check every day.

I don't see any orientation date for MS1 on the 2019-2020 academic calendar. Does anyone know if there is any commitment for MS1 that is earlier than 7/22 (for select) and 7/29 (for core), which are labeled as "first classes begin??

Nope! There's a lot of information on the welcome page when you log into Canvas and join the Class of 2023 Onboarding Course. I'm in Core so I can only speak to that, but basically there's a 2 week orientation program starting on 7/29 called Professions of Health

I''m applying for the 2020 cycle and in the middle of prewriting secondary essays. Are these character counts with or without spaces?
 
Can any current students comment on the research that medical students have become involved in? Is it mostly basic science or our students mostly doing clinical research? Thanks!

did anyone get in to select from in state? much more interested in core since in state tuition but i dont want to not seem interested in select so i am debating putting both

There’s maybe one or two in staters in SELECT for each class, and they’ve spent lots of time out of state. I wouldn’t bother applying to SELECT if I were you.

From what I have heard, you can select both which will allow the reviewers of your appl. to decide which one you may be better suited for. What I was told was that in-state residents seldom get invited to interview for SELECT b/c if accepted, the tuition is basically the same as out of state tuition.
