I can confirm that you should follow what any school specifically says on its website over what some anonymous person posts in an internet forum. 😎

i agree except their website also says fill out the FAFSA 2016-2017 so I'm concerned it is out of date/hasn't been updated in a while!

Fair enough!! 🙂

I was just trying to say that people do sometimes hide behind anonymity to lie, so SDN is best used to source information you cannot find anywhere else, as opposed to confirming what you receive from an official source.

With respect specifically to the FAFSA, as you probably know, parent information is not required for federal loans, but is required by just about every school to be considered for institutional, need-based aid. Some schools substitute their own form, or CSS, but I don't think any school doesn't require something, unless, sometimes, if you are married, your parents are deceased, or you are above a certain age. In any event, with something as important as this, it's always best to get your information directly from the school.

It was a direct email from admissions committee. Not sure how I feel about sharing it before they do.

I have a student one with student names on it so I will not be linking that for privacy.

I feel like both schools' Match Lists punch above their weight according to US News Rank (70, 66)!

1) we have a very involved student body
2) faculty are unbelievable at teaching clinical skills and content
3) clinical sites train us well

That makes that for those specialties that require we also interview rotations, we do very well too 🙂

That definitely made me tear a little haha thank you so much for your kind words
 
HPWL too, interviewed early march. Does anyone know how many people are accepted off of this HPWL historically? Is this a soft R?
Super sad as this was my top choice.

According to the info above, it seems they anticipate 20 or so acceptances off the waitlist. They probably took the average of the past few years to get this number. It could be more or less, of course; it’s really impossible for them to accurately predict how many people will commit to enroll or say thanks but no thanks from their original acceptance group. Best of luck!!

Dang...isn't 20 a super small amount
 
What are the waitlist classifications? Is there a highest priority waitlist? What is the high priority alternate list?
 
I guess the real question is, how many people are placed on the HPWL then
