LOL I did the same thing and quickly left, completely forgot it's in CST

 

[dreamitmakeithappen]

any people who were on the WL receive an A lately?

 

[aspringMD]

I also withdrew! Good luck to everyone! I am totally blanking- Did we have to pay a deposit to secure our spot here? If so, how long did it take to get a refund?

No, a deposit was not required

Has anyone sent the admissions office an email asking to match another school's financial aid package and gotten a response?

 

[Kaister]

Anyone know the current number of members on the fb page?

Anyone know the current number of members on the fb page?

~300, but a good number are also current M1s (~10-20)

 

[Kaister]

~300, but a good number are also current M1s (~10-20)

Someone from previous class mentioned about the fb group having 380 on average so I guess there might be some waitlist movement

Pretty sure you can check historical waitlist movement on MSAR. The class is ~135 (not including ~15 MSTP students), so I wouldn't go by the FB page as any sort of indicator.

 

[lanzhou_lamian]

Does anyone (particularly current students) know what day-to-day class schedules look like in M1 & M2? I'm looking to get a better idea of lecture/mandatory class time.

 

[tikihut]

Is there internal ranking/AOA during the preclinical phase?

i was told 3rd week in april, as they are still working on getting people's initial aid packages out

 

[MammothMD_2024]

Just withdrew! Good luck WL fam!

 

[musician8591]

Just withdrew! Good luck WL fam!

I receive this. Thank you!

 

[CaliforniaAsian]

I receive this. Thank you!

You got an acceptance after the other person withdrew already?

 

[musician8591]

You got an acceptance after the other person withdrew already?

That's the idea. But no news yet.

 

[greymandude]

Hey, sorry I'm totally clueless about all this. How does one withdraw their acceptance? Am I missing a link somewhere?

 

[lanzhou_lamian]

@greymanduck I don't think there's a withdraw button on the portal. You can just send an email to the admissions office.

Anyone hear back from Feinberg?

 

[tikihut]

Anyone hear back from Feinberg?

Also wondering if anyone has heard back about matching offers! Hopefully they’re getting back to us with a decision sometime this week

 

[myka]

hi guys, does anyone know if the waitlist is ranked? i went on MSAR to check but my subscription has expired :/

“Waitlist offers are made after the uniform acceptance date and continue until the class is filled. Preference is given to students who express ongoing interest in attending FSM.” I guess as long as u keep in touch, you’ll be considered.

Still haven't heard back :/

 

[Tumornator]

Still haven't heard back :/

Do you know if they’ll respond even if they don’t match? April 30 is approaching quickly..

 

[deleted994247]

If they don't respond by tomorrow, I'm personally giving up hope of an increase.

 

[tikihut]

Is anyone thinking of contacting admissions or are you gonna wait it out and see what happens? Fingers crossed we get a response today

Did they respond?

 

[HelpMeDecide1221]

Did they respond?

They responded each time but saying that they dont have an answer yet. The last time I reached out was the 17th

 

[throwaway11221]

wanted to let people know the assistant director said waitlist movement "tends to vary widely each year - some years we accept none and others we accept several dozen."

It’s a very popular school. I’d love to study there, but it’s probably more expensive than any of my other potential options.

when did she say this?

 

[hailbate]

Sooooo did anyone hear back from Financial Aid about matching offers? Or is it a lost cause at this point to expect it before April 30th?

 

[throwaway11221]

when did she say this?

After I emailed her asking how many usually get off the waitlist

I reached out a few weeks ago and finally heard back this morning. They updated the offer but didn’t match. I’m probably going to withdraw.

Did they reply to your email?

 

[lanzhou_lamian]

Did they reply to your email?

Yes, they replied to the email and updated CAESAR.

 

[tikihut]

Yes, they replied to the email and updated CAESAR.

Did you get the email through your personal email or the Northwestern email account?

 

[Iwannabeadoctor23]

Anyone know when we have to send in the acceptance form by>

 

[Tumornator]

Has anyone else gotten a response to matching offers yet?

 

[polain]

anyone hear anything from FA? Geez Louise, and I was told TWICE that I’d hear before the 30th. Didn’t think it’d be at the last frikin minute my gosh. Way to bump up my traffic day jitters Feinberg...

Nope

 

[deleted994247]

I withdrew cuz they didn’t get back to me about aid matching. Good luck to those on the WL.

 

[deleted958920]

I just received a slight bump in my financial aid. Thankful for the increase!

Congrats! Did you receive an email as well or check your CAESAR?

 

[deleted958920]

Congrats! Did you receive an email as well or check your CAESAR?

Thanks! I received an email that was formatted exactly like my original award email. CAESAR hasn't been updated yet.

 

[Tumornator]

Has anyone contacted NU regarding when’s the latest they’d reach out to us today letting us know if they’ve matched offers?

 

[lanzhou_lamian]

Has anyone contacted NU regarding when’s the latest they’d reach out to us today letting us know if they’ve matched offers?

The auto-reply from NU for these kinds of request is "There is no set date when additional scholarship or grant awards will be sent. Award notifications are released on a rolling basis starting in late March, and it’s possible for a student to receive a notification in the next few months afterwards."

Based on that, I don't think there's a "latest date." They probably will just redistribute funds as people drop.
