Did anyone who applied for SPFD get any kind of confirmation of the application?

 

[deleted984162]

For those of you who were waitlisted, did you get a confirmation email when you responded to the waitlist offer?

 

[allaboutdatpizza]

When is financial aid info typically sent out?

Ok, good. I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything.

I heard at Second Look that SPFD was cancelled due to COVID-19.

Do any of you know when we can anticipate waitlist movement?

I’m hoping we’ll get at least a little in April based off of previous years threads but definitely after April 30th!

 

[deleted1028796]

I couldn’t be more excited about Brody! I love everything about this school! Can’t wait— hopefully we will all be in person and not virtual. A virtual white coat ceremony or no white coat would suck!

 

[VectisofGalen210]

Accepted off WL today, got the call from Dr. Bright around 11AM!

Has anyone else who was on the waitlist heard back?

Also for anyone interested...

• Received 1025 AMCAS applications (final)
• Received 927 Supplementary applications (final)
• Interviewed 427 applicants (final)
• Made 116 offers

BSOM Student Affairs Office posted an article with the caption “We look forward to welcoming the Brody School of Medicine Class of 2024”. Does this mean that the class is complete and people won’t be coming off the waitlist anymore? I imagine that people would come off the waitlist at or after April 30, so perhaps I’m thinking too much into this.

I would assume that the waitlist is still active until we get an email saying otherwise

I called yesterday just to see about advising appointments in case I don’t make it off WL. I was told that the bulk of their movement will be happening in the next 2-3 weeks which leads me to believe we still have plenty of time to wait it out!

Good to know. Were they receptive to allowing you to set an advising appointment?

Unfortunately, if we’re still actively on the waitlist we can’t. She said that being on WL means we’re strong applicants and pretty much they just ran out of seats, so as far as reapp just to go with what we think we can improve on until later on. Honestly, she was very nice and clear in her communication so I really appreciated it!

Makes sense. Thanks for sharing

Has anyone had success with sending a letter of intent?

 

[mcb2012]

Has anyone had success with sending a letter of intent?

I sent one 4 days after my interview! Something worked for me....because I was super fortunate and was accepted in December. I'm not sure how much of a difference the letter made. Either way, I don't think there is any harm in submitting one! Good luck!

 

[EH4R1997]

For those on the waitlist, do you think we might hear something this week? It's been about 7 months since I've interviewed and I wish I could describe how I am feeling right now but any word is an understatement. I'm sure many people can relate and it's just nice to hear you are not alone.

 

[pb1234]

Withdrew my acceptance today. Hope it goes to one of you!!

Has anyone heard anything about scholarships from Brody (besides the Brody scholars)? I know last week they were still being evaluated.

Financial aid packages were apparently released last week? Scholarships are still being decided according to that email. The email got sent to my junk folder so I would check there if you haven't received it!

Yeah I got that email! Was just wondering if scholarships had been sent out too since April 30th is tomorrow. I hadn't heard anything and I assume if you don't get any scholarships, you're probably not going to be informed. Thank you though!

 

[carolinafan100]

Is there generally less or more waitlist movement after April 30 at Brody? I know someone said April 15-April 30 was the most movement.

 

[deleted984162]

Accepted today! Got a call from Dean Bright.

Someone else I know also got the call a few minutes after me.

Congratulations you guys!

Would you say waitlist movement is pretty much done here?

I think there will be some more movement. I'm sure some people will get accepted to other schools and decline their acceptance. I didn't think I had much of a chance at Brody anymore and I was surprised this morning with the call, so don't give up hope. You never know whats gonna happen.

I too received a call this morning from Dean Bright!! Could not be more thrilled. It is surreal. Can't wait to meet everyone!

Did anyone remember how long it would take to receive the e-mail with instructions on how to accept? I got the call this morning and have been checking my e-mail all day!

I havent gotten my email yet either. Dean Bright said it should come today. So if I dont have it by tomorrow morning, I'll probably email them.

I think it took about 2 days for the acceptance letter to show up in my email after I got the phone call, and it showed up in my regular email.

Congrats to everyone!

Congratulations future classmates!!

I notice a discrepancy in orientation dates. On the ECU website, it says orientation starts July 23. Onmy ECU portal, it says July 27. Anyone know the correct date?

I think it’s the 27th as it generally lasts the work week leading to the white coat ceremony. What portal do you mean, by the way? I don’t see any schedule like that on pirate port.

Thought I would share this info...
Just spoke with someone from Brody. They said that there should be movement up until the end of next week and that there rough 10 spots left as of right now. Things are subject to change depending on how other med schools open up their class. Hope this helps

Thank you so much for sharing this information. Some of us have been waiting for months so any sort of update just gives us some sort of mental peace haha. Fingers crossed

Thank you for this info! When did you speak to Brody about this and who’d you speak to? Was it today?

No problem. I spoke to them yesterday around 3pm. I don't remember who exactly I spoke to, but all I know is it was someone from the admissions department.
