I’ve emailed mine to every school, including Cornell today, but blacked out my SSN.

On the Aid Type Request Form there is a little hyperlink that say's "File Transfer". It will lead you to a site where you have to sign up for an account. This will allow you to submit sensitive documents securely.

Ooof, I goofed that. Rio, did you resubmit under the file transfer or are you gonna wait until they email back?

Yeah, I totally disregarded the file transfer because I assumed I didn’t have the credentials. Oops. Maybe I’ll just resubmit using the file transfer and then if they email back, I’ll let them know I did both.

seems like they put less emphasis on research funding and more emphasis on residency director reputation? i could be oversimplifying though edit: jk i was definitely wrong lmao, nice to see the actual rankings match the residency director rankings more though

Not exactly. They are no longer including private, non-NIH research funding in their calculations and are only looking at NIH funding for each institution. For what it's worth, last year was the first year they had included non-NIH funding in this calculation, so they tried it once and then decided to go back to the old way.

Pre-clinical is unranked pass/fail with passing at 65%. Clerkship is honors, high-pass, pass, fail.

does the clerkship grading system make it feel like a more competitive/less collaborative environment at all? or is it still pretty collaborative/helpful for those years?

Dunno, I'm but a simple first year student. None of the upper classmen I'm friends with complain about competition though. I think there are like only four med schools in the US that have pass/fail clerkship tho.

Does AOA only take clerkship grades into account?
Click to expand...
I believe it's clerkship grades and Step1. Though I wouldn't worry about that since our match is pretty solid with a 100% match rate the past couple years; attached are the match lists for the last two years.

There was talk about getting rid of AOA in a class council meeting last year but I didn't really follow it.

I attached a pdf along with a brief email since that's the format other schools seem to prefer (so I was taking a guess lol), but back when I sent them my interview thank you notes I sent those as just a plain text email and they accepted them. So I bet either is fine! I just wanted to attach a real file to make sure I kept myself to one page haha

Upperclass student here -- in the clerkships there is no limit on how many students can get honors for each clerkship (students are not directly competing with each other). In my experience it has been very collaborative throughout clerkship (classmates sharing study resources for shelf exams, helping each other out on the floors wherever possible).

Anybody have information on how we submit everything? Want to send in all the forms but idk if we are required to postmark it or if we can just scan and email lol
 
Are we receiving a letter in the mail with more information? Or, was everything included in the acceptance email and on the financial aid website?

In the acceptance email there are two attachments if you read one of them carefully (I forgot which one) it’ll say something about a “file transfer system”. You just follow the link, create and account, and send your 2017 tax return and any other important info such as parent tax returns (if you’re applying for need-based aid). Also, make sure you fill out the CSS profile and the “Need-Based Request Form”. If you go on their financial aid website and you follow the instructions for new MD students, you should see the link to the form. Fill it out electronically, and email back to financial aid email.

Oh yeah I’m using the secure file transfer for the financial aid stuff.

Was just wondering for that form we have to send back in 3 weeks (Accepted student reply form). Wasn’t sure if we can email that or if it should be postmarked

I filled it out electronically, and emailed it to their admissions email. I got a response back saying it’s been received

Earlier on this thread (the day decisions came out) someone mentioned they got rejected. Perhaps those that got rejected aren’t on SDN
