Does anyone know the new due date for the Dean's and the Chancellor scholarship essays?

Does anyone know the new due date for the Dean's and the Chancellor scholarship essays?

The email I got last week said March 24th for both scholarships and the 31st for the global health opportunity program. But if anyone knows of later dates than that, please post it.

The email I got last week said March 24th for both scholarships and the 31st for the global health opportunity program. But if anyone knows of later dates than that, please post it.

That's what I thought and then I received the email that said
"We have had a request to extend the scholarship deadline as we are not having the accepted student reception. We will give you an additional week to send your responses in to us."

When did you get that email?

3/10

 

[Appendectomy]

And can anyone else confirm receiving this email?

 

[iluvmedicine528]

For those accepted after the scholarship deadline, is it not possible to apply for scholarships at all?

 

[greatjoyousday]

And can anyone else confirm receiving this email?

The original email they sent stated that scholarships were due March 27th. They then changed the due date almost immediately to March 17th in order to make a decision before accepted students day. Once accepted students day was cancelled, they sent out the third email (email date was March 10) stating they would give us an additional week to submit our scholarship info. One week from the March 17th deadline is March 24th, so the current due date for the scholarship is March 24th.

You are amazing. Thank you for the much needed clarification.

See yall on the webinar soon 🙂

They're having issues right now with it, so it might take a while for everyone to get logged onto the Webinar

Anyone know when they'll announce the scholarship recipients?

I think the email said April 6, but in the virtual accepted students day It sounded like It might be sooner

What did the email say? I'm not sure I got that one

 

[jewel98]

The one that attached the scholarship essay prompts. I'll see if I can find It

 

[osmosis2019]

They said early this week for the dean's scholarship in the virtual accepted students day. Chancellor's scholarship might be a few more weeks as they have to narrow it down and then send to the chancellor to pick.

 

[DNA23]

Anyone hear anything about scholarships yet? 🙁

 

[osmosis2019]

Anyone hear anything about scholarships yet? 🙁

Yes. Not sure about chancellor’s but for the dean’s scholarship, yes

 

[DNA23]

Yes. Not sure about chancellor’s but for the dean’s scholarship, yes

Oh so they've already notified applicants that got the dean's scholarship?

 

[osmosis2019]

I don’t know if everyone who got it was but I know someone who was notified

 

[DNA23]

I don’t know if everyone who got it was but I know someone who was notified

Ohh ok. I would think they'd notify everyone that got it at the same time, so I guess if we haven't heard anything yet, that probably means we didn't get it.

 

[Appendectomy]

Is there any word on the July 27th start date being pushed back?

 

[DNA23]

Is there any word on the July 27th start date being pushed back?

I haven't heard anything about it getting pushed back. On the WebEx, they said nothing has changed as of now.

any HPWL movement yet? whats the movement been like in recent years (do only a few or a decent number of people come off). Also does anyone know if the WL is ranked

Nothing yet. I would check the previous year threads to see but from what I remember there was a decent amount of waitlist movement. The WL is not ranked but there is a difference between high priority and regular waitlist. Someone also said that there is something higher than the high priority waitlist (forgot what it was called).

I think the school mentioned that the waitlist movement starts after May 1?

 

[iluvmedicine528]

I think the school mentioned that the waitlist movement starts after May 1?

Yup! After I accepted my waitlist position, the office of admissions said that they won’t know until May 1st of movement in the class but hope to pull applicants from the waitlist in May.

Higher than high priority? I don't recall them ever mentioning that

 

[iluvmedicine528]

If you scroll through this thread those who interviewed were placed on this "high priority list" status that sounded different, in email and on the portal, than the traditional "high priority list" status. I think someone in the thread also confirmed with admissions.

I think there was one person that mentioned they were high priority of the highest priority, or something like that. I only saw that one person, but most others weren’t in that list.

You were pulled from the waitlist already for this application cycle?

 

[iluvmedicine528]

You were pulled from the waitlist already for this application cycle?

No What I meant was that I was waitlisted and emailed them just to confirm/accept to be on the waitlist.

 

[medapp5]

would it be worth submitting an LOI/Update letter?

 

[iluvmedicine528]

Of course!

 

[FutureSawbones]

Does anyone have RWJ's 2020 match list?

 

[checkingmyemailevery5secs]

Anyone know what the deal is with getting in-state tuition as an out of state person? I know that I made a note to look into it after interview day, but left the note and FA materials in my apartment that I haven’t been back to since corona! Thank you!

 

[greatjoyousday]

Just withdrew my acceptance here. I hope it goes to someone wonderful!

 

[coolbeans0405]

Does anybody know if there is movement from the regular waitlist? Or is it only the HPWL that moves
