Just wanted to plug that there's an accepted students GroupMe! Look on the FB page and you'll easily find it.
Also for FIU there is no requirement to select PTE on April 30th, correct? They just require a $100 deposit to hold the acceptance after that date. The only hard deadline is selecting CTE by June 15th?
Hello all,
Based on SDN advice I booked a meeting with the FIU financial aid office for April 27th. As an OOS student at FIU with a cheaper IS A, the cost is a big concern for me. Currently given a standard 10-year repayment the difference between FIU and this school is coming out to 216k. I really would love to come to FIU and I want to know if there is anything they can tell me before April 30th regarding perhaps giving me IS tuition rates or if I can receive scholarship information early? Any advice for my situation or how I should convey these points during the meeting? Thanks all
I believe they are awarded sometime after April 30th but not certainHas anyone heard from the scholarship committee recently? Do you think there will be any scholarships awarded between now and April 30th?
No it’s “after” April 30th, no exact date that I know ofI thought we were receiving our financial aid packages today
I think May 14thanyone know when the deadline is to pay the deposit?
Where did you see this?I think May 14th
They have said we have 2 weeks to pay many timesWhere did you see this?
Do you have to commit to enroll to pay through AMCAS? I want to maintain my waitlist position elsewhere and can't do so if that's required. Going to shoot them an email tbh.They have said we have 2 weeks to pay many times
Nope, payment deadline is may 14th, CTE deadline is June 15th I believeDo you have to commit to enroll to pay through AMCAS? I want to maintain my waitlist position elsewhere and can't do so if that's required. Going to shoot them an email tbh.
Nah, I don’t think so. Waitlist email said there is no further action for us to do at this time. We just have fun waitingdo we have to secure our place on FIUs waitlist ?
followingAnyone on the waitlist hear back since the April 30th deadline hit?
Yeah I’m also waiting on scholarship info, I wish they would give out the info fasterHi I know I posted this earlier but if you guys receive any aid/scholarships/grants please update the rest of us on this thread!!! Thank you in advance <3
I emailed admissions and the financial aid office for an estimate of when they would be released and got nothingHi I know I posted this earlier but if you guys receive any aid/scholarships/grants please update the rest of us on this thread!!! Thank you in advance <3
I believe it is 120, there are currently 145 students in the accepted students group chat so for those wondering I assume there is still a ways to go before the waitlist starts movingWhat is FIU's class size this year supposed to be?
Is there a groupme? Where can I find this info? Thank you!I believe it is 120, there are currently 145 students in the accepted students group chat so for those wondering I assume there is still a ways to go before the waitlist starts moving
FB group. I'd link it here but I'm worried others will join.Is there a groupme? Where can I find this info? Thank you!
I know a lot of our class is on waitlists/still not 100% about coming.I believe it is 120, there are currently 145 students in the accepted students group chat so for those wondering I assume there is still a ways to go before the waitlist starts moving
A recent poll in the groupme (only about half of the chat answered) showed ~18% have not fully committed to FIU yetI know a lot of our class is on waitlists/still not 100% about coming.
Yes!Did everyone on WL receive email about graduate certificate?
Anyone have any thoughts on the graduate certificate?Did everyone on WL receive email about graduate certificate?
Wasn't the big day supposed to be 4/30?When I asked admissions about any updates on the waitlist, they said there has been no waitlist movement as of right now. Judging by the fact someone here mentioned that there are 145 students in an accepted group chat... if I had to guess it might take longer than expected to see people come off the waitlist just yet. But still holding onto hope that spots will open following the deposit deadline and CTE deadline!!
I also thought the same but now from what I understand from the AAMC website (someone pls correct me if I'm wrong) is that on April 30th the CTE option became available to applicants but it doesn't force students to make that decision. I believe it's up to each individual school to set up their own deadline when every student HAS to make a final decision to CTE, right now it's just optional.Wasn't the big day supposed to be 4/30?

I think there may be some as we approach that date, but I'm not very optimistic tbhIs the consensus that there won’t be any WL movement (if any) until the CTE date?
Thank you for this update, even the slightest bit of hope helps so much!Just wanted to say that two people have left the GroupMe (one person I know personally). Stay hopeful y'all. You never know!
