No status change 😢
No status change here also
No status change. Really frustrating since I've reapplied 3 times and have had many improvements (including improvements recommended by the committee) 🙁
Have an A somewhere else, but this is dream school due to the MD/MPH program and location (home).

Does anyone know what the Facebook group is called once accepted?
I believe its "LSUHSC SOM - Class of 2027"; there are a couple other ones floating around on Facebook but this looks like the most correct one or at least the one I've been tracking to see where the count is this cycle
Thank you! I'm a reapplicant, in-state, 510 MCAT, 3.73 GPA, lots of EC, leadership, shadowing, clinical experience.

II today!!!
what does NFA mean? Where you waitlisted?
NFA stands for "No Final Action" so it is not an acceptance or a rejection, it just means they are holding on to you as an applicant and will discuss your file again at a later committee meeting.
Does anyone know if there is another NFA meeting?
I have heard there may be one at the end of March but there will definitely be one the first week in May(last one)
I did prior to my interview updating my grades from the fall semester

I did with grades for the fall semester and a couple of new things i was doing and that I was doing a thesis!
I did hear about financial aid/scholarships but now have more questions...
Anyone else here trying to fill out the scholarship application? 😵😵
“Unfortunately, it is not possible for us to consider every candidate for admission even though many have impressive credentials. Therefore, we will not be able to consider your application for admission into our medical school”
Wording from my rejection letter. Did LSU even look at my secondary or is it just poorly worded? I’m confused.

So I attended the MD/MPH studnet panel and at the beginning they said something like, "I'm sure you all are making final decisions between LSU New Orleans and othe schools, and hope you choose us"
Still on the WL and they are the only school I want to go to. Feels bad man.

I feel ya, im not even on the WL. I got NFA'd in February and haven't heard anything since 🙁
I know they have a meeting the last day in March but not sure if it’s just people that just interviewed or everyone. The last one is beginning of May so we may have to unfortunately wait a while
NFA is their WL technically. I'm on it.

For accepted students, do we think we'll start receiving our financial aid letters within the next week? I remember seeing somewhere that it would come out late March.
It's not really a waitlist, it's more like a post-II hold.

Sooo, I called financial aid and they told me not to expect it for several months. I was absolutely flabbergasted by this. I even (politely) inquired as to how students with more and 1 A were supposed to solidify their decision without a financial aid package. They didn't give me any info. Going to call back early April!

OH maybe you're referring to scholarships - admissions said we'd be notified by postal mail in late march if we are awarded a scholarship!
does anyone know if the meeting at the end of this month is for NFA people or for the most recent interviewees? just impatiently waiting to hear anything back 🙃
I know they are definitely meeting about interviewees, not sure about NFA. They have held a lot of interviews throughout march that they haven’t met about yet.

They are meeting tomorrow, correct? I had written down March 30th during my interview, but just wanted to confirm.
I think so. Does anyone know how many days after they meet they actually send out the emails?
I think they said they interview between 400-500 and accept around 200. I could be wrong.
