Cannot believe this is real. Any of you lovely lucky souls who have already received a scholarship offer, did you fill out any financial aid forms/submit fafsa before getting the offer? Thanks in advance 🙂 and go bears

Anyone know historically if you can negotiate/increase merit scholarships here?
I remember the financial aid rep saying they don't increase financial aid packages based on what other schools provide, unsure about merit scholarships. Also curious as to when we'd know by the latest if we'd get a merit scholarship. I'm afraid that money will be freed up after the PTE date but I probably can't PTE here without a scholarship 😬
 
When are merit scholarships released?
I don’t think there is a specific timeline because it depends when the scholarships committee meets and how many new students they have to review, but it seems like most people hear back within a few weeks of their acceptance.

I don’t think you need to submit any additional documentation for merit scholarships but if you want to be considered for need-based scholarships (which they also have a lot of funding for), then you will need to submit all the financial aid documentation.
 
You will prob get an email early next week! April 8-9 (starts afternoon on the 8th), lodging and food expenses covered
This might be dumb but does anyone know if that means we still need to book a hotel and they'll reimburse us or do they take care of the lodging completely?

This is not dumb I have the same question. Hopefully we get an email soon bc flights are expensy
 
I've known many people getting this email with a different specter of MCAT scores... First they recieved the ad about the resource on how yo cite poetry in an essay and missinterpretated with the scores more info. Lol, but after the inspection they figured ou that is was just a confusion.
I had a similar situation.

Congrats to all of you; you are awesome!

Lowkey… imma call the committee tmr and ask bc I saw that someone else did that on last years thread (lord help me im losing my MIND lurkin out here)… I’ll lyk 😭
I called the admissions office (not committee, rather the office) today asking about how many students they’ve admitted so far as well as how many they accept annually. Basically they said the admissions committee is “tight-lipped” and doesn’t give much information about their agenda. They also said that it is a rolling admission (is it really tho???) and that acceptances go until the day classes start (which I assume they are referring to waitlisted people). Basically a reiteration of what is on their website. No new info.

You can try to call, maybe you’ll have better luck getting some new intel

Not sure if this helps, but there are currently 258 people in the Facebook group so far and it appears about 15-20 of them are current students.

Edit: to clarify, there may be way more current students in the group… not 100% sure
