I think every one gets this scholarship, but it's not all the aid offer. Hopefully not.

On their website it says,
“
SSOM Scholarships

These scholarships’ recipients are nominated, reviewed and selected by the SSOM Awards Committee or a specific SSOM department based on the award criteria listed.”

So I am not sure if everyone gets this?

Oh yea I just noticed.
 
Interesting. I don’t see anything uploaded under financial aid in locus yet. When did you guys first notice your awards?

also got this but mine was only a few thousand, not sure if that’s the entire aid package lol
 
After opening LOCUS on desktop, I see the COA for Stritch. I’m surprised by the tuition. Does it show about 50,000 for everyone? I thought their tuition was about 60k.

All my aid is all loans except for that SSOM scholarship. This was really my top choice, but if they decide not to offer any scholarships, I will likely be withdrawing since I have scholarship offers from other schools.

So you did get offered loans from ssom?
 
Also financial aid office only deals with need based aid and not merit. If you want merit, you have to email admissions. This process sucks and I am kind of pissed.
 
Does anyone know what the dress code is for second look? Also, do we need to bring a mask and our vaccine card?

on LOCUS under fin aid i dont think they sent me an email that it was uploaded unless it went to my spam

did you guys get an email about fin aid? or where did you guys see it? I went to loyola for undergrad so my locus only reflects my undergrad
 
just confirmed in the webinar that pre-clinical is 1.5 years now and was implemented with the current M1 class.

Even though it will be fast paced, it has benefits like early exposure to clinical, more time for away rotations during 4th year.
 
Does anyone recall if they have internal rankings or anything similar?

according to what students told me, yes. about 30% is based on preclinical while the rest is on clinical years. you are categorized into groups. i forgot how many, but i think 4-5 groups named "exceptional" "meets expectations" etc., something like that. so you won't have a number, you're rather in a quartile or quintile.
 
has anyone received any correspondence from the 02/16 interview week?
 
For anyone that went to the second look event last Friday, did they offer your individual financial aid packages?

Yes the deans confirmed this during second look day
 
Hi, y'all! Does Loyola have in-house written exams or NBME-style exams? I think it should be NBME-style multiple-choice, but I wanted to double-check.

exams are written in house and most classes have all multiple choice exams. the school claims to do NBME style questions. however, students say that there are def times when you are tested on oddball topics that are professor specific.
