Have you done FAFSA and selected VCU as the college.
If yes then maybe check the myVCU and then the financial tab-> award letter.

I did do the FAFSA and selected VCU. I haven't made a myVCU account and I don't see an email about setting up an account, do you know when we got info about doing that?

I got an email forward to me by another VCU SOM program that had this information. I didn't get the original email. So, it seems like some people aren't getting all the communications.

But, I think you go here to create your account:

Go to myeid.vcu.edu and then click on Claim my eID

You need your banner ID from your acceptance page to find your eID. Once you get your eID and set up your myvcu account, it comes with an email account, and that is where I received my financial aid letter, not the email I have been using for applications.

Hope this helps.

EDIT: As the person above said, once you are logged in, you can also skip the email and go to VCU - Central Authentication Service - Login and click on financial aid and then award.

Has there been any alternate list movement this week? The facebook group has so many members 😵

Does anyone know if the financial aid package should include scholarships too? Or are we still waiting on possible scholarships?

I was wondering this too, because I got an initial financial aid "letter" before the scholarship committee started meeting. So, not sure, but curious. Maybe it would be worth it to email the finacial aid person to ask.

I got a scholarship email directly from the financial aid director, so I think they come separately. They are also super communicative so reaching out wouldn't hurt!

Any waitlist movement?

wanted to say that you absolutely saved me by posting this - I've been waiting for the financial aid and never got this email with instructions, but I signed up and was able to see the package. Thank you!

Any waitlist movement?

My guess is a few tomorrow and then next Tuesday and Wednesday based on previous trends!

At this point its - someone withdraws someone taken off. So I wouldn't look too much into trends

Thank you! It's amazing how much you know about all these different schools' admission processes

Amazing, depressing…. Lol

Withdrew acceptance two days ago! I have been checking the CYMS tool but it seems as though VCU is not updating the aamc on my decision. Do they only meet once a week? I’m only wondering because I want to commit to enroll at another institution and I am not allowed to have another acceptance.

Thats not how the tool works yeah? you just pick the school you want to commit to.

Yes but they said you can only hold one acceptance after April 30th which is the deadline for PTE at the school I want to attend

Yes - so you select that as PTE. You just pick one you want to go to. You’ve withdrawn from vcu and done your part.

Did anyone go to 'second look' , I think it was today?
How was it?

 

[Boson12]

Would you mind telling us if you are IS or OOS

 

[sweatysweetpotato79]

Accepted off the WL yesterday! OOS interviewed end on Jan.

Are there any current students on here that I can ask a few questions to?

 

[bonk215]

So we won't expect anymore waitlist acceptances after yesterday right?

VCU School of Medicine Class of 2026

Why not?

 

[ms2731]

I believe most of waitlist movement will be in next two weeks

 

[biochem_boi]

No. We should see the most movement in May

 

[deleted1133405]

Does that mean starting today?? Lol! 🤣

 

[deleted1133405]

Is it just me or is this the thread with the fewest posts of withdrawing an A! 😢😢

Hey everyone! I was wondering if anyone knew when the CTE deadline for VCU is?

 

[Kalesmenos]

Accepted off W yesterday!

 

[ms2731]

Accepted off W yesterday!

Congrats. IS or OOS?

 

[LoveJesus!]

I noticed on multiple past threads May 5th was a day of a lot of WL movement.

Again,

That’s not how this works.

One person out, one person in.

WL is just going down in order of number you got at committee. It’s WHC probably just clicking a button when someone withdraws

 

[Kalesmenos]

Congrats. IS or OOS?

OOS! Well... International, really.

 

[soggymoo]

Accepted of WL today!
Anyone know turnaround time for financial aid?

Does VCU match merit scholarships?

OOS

 

[s517896]

I am guessing IS WL movement is pretty much over..

 

[TM2021]

I am guessing IS WL movement is pretty much over..

Why?

 

[s517896]

Why?

IS WL movement after the 1st big wave is pretty unlikely because IS people won't let go of state school easily.

 

[noob1234]

how much OOS movement can we expect after this week?

 

[Talldoctor96]

IS WL movement after the 1st big wave is pretty unlikely because IS people won't let go of state school easily.

Not true, is movement will continue until mid June just like OOS just slower.
