Congrats!!!!! When did you interview in Jan!?
Nah, you aren't alone at all. Their website seems rather... dated... when it comes to information regarding research available to medical students lol. I'd love to know if there are sufficient involvements opps! i'm between here and a considerably research focused school, so i'd love to get some insight.
Same, all the info I was able to find was from 2016. But then looking at the insane match list, I thought maybe I am missing something since they are matching a lot of students into highly competitive research focused specialties. Idk... I am in the same boat as you currently stuck between one research focused school and GU.
I kinda got a sense they were research focused! They have that independent scholarly project as a research requirement and the medical student research (or something like that) office to help people find mentors, research projects, etc. Maybe my bar is lower, but I definitely felt like I could get a lot of research and pubs over 4 years
They uploaded their match day video on The GUSOM Facebook Page!
If for nothing else, this should be a testament to SDN reporting bias. Thanks for putting this together!
So I decided to check the MyAccess portal and I see what looks like an award package of just loans lol. Haven't received an email of an award, so might want to check your portal
DC cost of living too... I've found that schools seriously lowball COL estimates in their comprehensive COA financial aid presentations. These problems are exacerbated in expensive cities 🙁
where on my access?
On the home page, select "Financial Aid"->"Award Information"->select the aid year (2021-2022) and submit-> click "Award Overview"
Where do you get access to this portal?
Yeah mine says no award yet
I have access because I’m an alum. Idk if they’ve sent out netIDs. Someone can correct me
There should be instructions on how to get access in the electronics credentials section under the pre-matriculation tab in your application portal. You'll need your NetID and stuff-all that info should be in the aforementioned section of the portal
I got an email (went to my spam folder) on March 4 to check my portal for my NetID
Same here. It just says "requested" and I sent mine early Feb
For what it’s worth, I see my documents marked on MyAccess as being complete only as of March 22 even though I submitted on march 1st. They might be behind in updating the portal, but given that you both submitted before me, perhaps it’s worth emailing to check in
Yes I saw the exact same thing and I submitted in the beginning of Feb. There is no FA bar on my portal. After you get an award does it change? I am not able to see the documents I submitted either...
In 2018 it was the first week of April, but that's the only thing I saw
Just wondering this after I just saw my horrific aid package lol
you just absolutely read my mind LOL
someone with an A said they interviewed “end of January” but idk date. Nothing else was posted here from that last week!
Thanks! What about other living expenses outside of rent?
Parking=expensive (100-150 per month), groceries are expensive, food is expressive, going out is expensive. Youre living in one of the most affluent neighborhoods in the country.
It's hard to say, but last year more WL trickled in April 10.
I had the same question and emailed to ask. The scholarship is not binding if you accept it. All the usual traffic rules and deposit deadline still apply!
There was an earlier deadline I think in late Jan. They opened it up again for people who got accepted later to apply
Did they by any chance communicate when decisions would be announced?
Nope. No confirmation. No date when the winners will be announced. Very annoying tbh
