Does anyone know how responsive admissions is to emails? aka like how long it might take them to reply

 

[internally_brilliant]

Also mid December and not a word

late october and no word here

 

[potatoofmagic]

So CYMS tool opened today, I was accepted to HMSOM, yet it does not appear on the tool. Worth an email to admissions? Anyone else with acceptances either seeing or not seeing HMSOM on the CYMS tool?

Not seeing it either, and I can see other schools.

 

[TheHomelander]

I can see HMSOM on the CYMS tool now. It says they submitted my info to AMCAS around 11am EST today. Guess they just procrastinated lol

Why's everyone rushing to enroll in CYMS, from my understanding you gain nothing out of it, especially for this date range I think it's more for the school's sake to figure out how many more people they should interview and accept.

because we are all neurotic and want to confirm that the schools that accepted us *actually* accepted us. 🤣 (at least this is how I felt when I checked this morning)

can confirm lol

 

[futuredoctorkumquat]

Hi friends, I just submitted a letter of interest to the secondary portal under documents. Do you think I need to email the adcom to confirm they received it and added it to my application? Not sure if there's anything automatic about this process lmao

 

[porkrollegg&cheese]

withdrew my A good luck everyone!

You get me on a deep and intimate level, and I do not like that one bit

 

[CrabcakesandFootball]

Hey everyone just wanted to share this. The school is officially now full accredited. (Can't believe I'm rebooting up my SDN account)

 

[ploguap]

Anyone know what the biggest scholarship they can give us ?

 

[Dr. Uchiha]

Anyone know what the biggest scholarship they can give us ?

Full tuition, as far as I know

 

[heyheyheyheyheyheyheyhey]

Yes, I was lucky enough to receive a full tuition scholarship

that's awesome! when did you find out?

 

[Dr. Uchiha]

that's awesome! when did you find out?

I was admitted on the first possible day, which I believe was December 15th if I remember correctly... got word of the scholarship on February 10th so there was a big gap!

yes, same here - I was admitted on 12/14 and got the scholarship email on 2/10

 

[captain4250]

How common is it to receive a full tuition scholarship from Hackensack?

 

[deleted1130343]

Does this school award based on need, merit, or both? Anyone know?

 

[Dr. Uchiha]

Does this school award based on need, merit, or both? Anyone know?

Both! I emailed the financial aid office and they confirmed this. Also, if this is helpful, I asked the average need-based award and they said they have historically given ~$20,000 for people who qualify for FAP.

 

[captain4250]

I believe they offer both.

 

[lipbalmlover]

received an email of passed initial review back in nov... did not receive the interview consideration email this week though. would it be worth sending an update?

 

[ejc4300]

Does anyone know when we would hear about the financial aid (need based not merit)?? I think it depends on the time you submitted but I submitted early and haven’t heard yet

 

[DoctingDoc]

Has anyone received a II since they sent out that interview consideration email?

 

[AskingQuestionsMed]

I do not even think I got an interview consideration email! So you must be in a very good spot soon then!

eh, we'll see. Personally, I'm still surprised they are apparently still interviewing this late.

 

[deleted1156661]

any idea how long between interview and decision?

EDIT: went back in the thread and guess i will expect by april 30

Hi all - wanted to share a resource! Here's the link to the HMSOM class of 2027 facebook group for admitted students: Hackensack Meridian SOM Class of 2027 | Facebook

Any admitted students know when we'll hear about financial aid packages?

Admitted dec 15 still haven’t heard anything about it

 

[Inner_rooster5011]

Invited for a second interview, first one was early Jan. Is this standard protocol?

It's not standard protocol for most schools, but it happens a good bit for this one

 

[Inner_rooster5011]

Yes!

The full tuition scholarship I received says it's merit-based, so does anyone know if that means I can still receive need-based aid later? Or is it possible that they granted me the scholarship having already taken my financial background into account since I have FAP?

Don’t have an answer for you but when did you get the offer?

 

[ejc4300]

I heard last week about merit based, nothing about need based yet

 

[medschoolapplicant1999]

I heard last week about merit based, nothing about need based yet

When did you interview/were accepted?

 

[ejc4300]

When did you interview/were accepted?

Interviewed 10/10, accepted 12/15 and put my deposit down same night

 

[secondary writing weapon]

Don’t have an answer for you but when did you get the offer?

I got it on Feb 10th, which I believe is the same day a few other ppl on here got it as well.

I asked their financial aid office this and they said per their policy, the max they could offer was full tuition. So getting a full tuition merit-based scholarship means you can’t get additional need-based aid even if you qualify for it.

Interviewed 2/17. Anyone have any idea how long after do people usually hear back?

Did you happen to receive the interview consideration email? I was wondering if that even meant anything.

Interviewed November 10th.... not a single communication since. Don't love feeling strung along for this long, anybody else in a similar boat?

I didn't get an II, but I'm still being told I'm being on hold for further review. This is taking too long.
