2021-2022 UC San Francisco

[lostmed]

What was the email subject? Can't seem to find this.

“UCSF Financial Aid - Financial Aid Application”. I got it February 23rd. It was towards the bottom of the email:

“Once we have completed the review process of your financial aid application a financial aid offer letter will be sent to you via your UCSF e-mail account. Award notification correspondence will begin starting March 15th 2022”

Admittedly, I don’t know how to get into the UCSF email account and should probably see if they already sent those instructions.

Members don't see this ad.

Is this only for people who have gotten in? I’m still waiting on my decision.

I believe so

 

[lostmed]

I was told mid april by the financial aid office

I truly hope this isn’t the case. I want to make my decisions by then 😭

Interesting, mine doesn't mention any dates, just says to complete it.

And your ucsf email i assume is just the AMCAS one since I don't think you'd have a .ucsf one unless you committed

Oh that’s so weird! I wonder why that is. Here’s a screenshot!

Oh it might be because I started a finaid app well before being admitted, so got a much more abbreviated email

Any December acceptees receive the DocuSign form for the Technical Standards yet? The portal said it would be sent starting at the end of February...

[MD2Be_1]

Has anyone that applied PRIME-SJV heard back or have an idea of when we will hear back?

Also wondering this for PRIME-US.
Doesn't seem like there have been many prime acceptances on here.

Wondering the same. I remember them telling us Feb-Mar.

You got waitlisted for PRIME or regular MD?

 

[mdgld]

Just got my rejection from UCSF. Does this mean I’m rejected from the JMP as well?

 

[carrotcake_]

Just got the R

 

[imgood__]

You got waitlisted for PRIME or regular MD?

MD, because you can't get accepted to PRIME unless you get accepted to UCSF first.

 

[inoffensivepersona]

Just got the A!

 

[dolphinlover99]

anyone know if we actually get financial aid packages this week?

 

[dmblah]

WL for regular MD

 

[godking39]

Anyone know what the waitlist movement look like for UCSF? Just got a WL from MD and the JMP program. :/

 

[dr_dreamer]

WL for reg MD (interviewed on a PRIME day) but have yet to hear from JMP. Honestly pretty heartbroken, ucsf is my absolute dream and i really felt like my interviews went well :/

 

[inoffensivepersona]

Anyone know when second look is? Also does ucsf subsidize travel for FAP recipients for second look? I ask because my other schools with in person second looks sent me info about it.

I know, I was like really?

 

[deleted913482]

For those of us who have to travel for Accepted Student Weekend do people usually stay in a hotel? The school wouldn’t reimburse us right ?

 

[dr hopeful]

Any updates with the financial aid packages 🙁

 

[southernwatertribe]

Any updates with the financial aid packages 🙁

I was told by the Financial Aid Office that we would be getting our packages the week before ASW so that we can meet with our FinAid advisor on ASW.

UCSF's ASW is already so late ahhhhh

 

[dolphinlover99]

UCSF's ASW is already so late ahhhhh

How does that give us adequate time to make a decision by end of April??

 

[mangowolf]

ik it's really stressing me out lol

 

[impostor_syndrOhm]

Got some info from Hallen regarding upcoming dates/finaid!

-Finaid office is working hard on packages and they should be out between this thursday and next monday for ppl that have all the forms completed

-ASW is currently set to happen in-person from April 22-24, formal invites going out later this week
-you'll need to be fully vaxxed + boosted
-sounds like the meat of it will be the first two days, the rest would mainly just be an opportunity to explore the city together
-for folks traveling from out-of-state and with financial need, they're working on securing hotels/accomodations since COVID restrictions most likely wouldn't allow us to stay with current students rn
-for folks with financial need/using FAP, they'll be able to cover up to 50% of travel costs (plane tix, lodging, etc) up to a reasonable amount. You would still have to pay out of pocket initially but financial aid can reimburse you within 4-5 weeks afterwards

I hate that it’s the same weekend as DGSOM 😭

 

[impostor_syndrOhm]

Yeah, i'm really surprised they allowed that to go through being part of the same university system...wack :\

 

[asirpa]

Does anyone know how many members of the FB group are not accepted students? Wondering how much hope there is for waitlist movement

 

[MD2Be_1]

Hi! I’m currently on the waitlist and wanted to send a letter of intent, but I can’t remember if they do accept LOI. Does anyone have advice on whether I should send one or not? Thank you!
