yea i am not really understanding especially because my total aid and estimated need are very different lol
They only have Stafford loans listed there. Would need to take out additional grad plus loans to cover the difference.
As far as I know, there is only a Facebook group
are you IS or OOS? and we’re you regular MD? do you mind DMing or sharing your approximate rank to help us other WL people haha
No problem. OOS, reg MD and between 5-10
congrats! when was ur interview? and how long do they give u to decide?
probably grad PLUS loans up to the cost of attendance
If you don't mind checking, is the Facebook group page full (not counting any faculty members in the group) - how many open spots remain?
On Monday there were 187 (7 were faculty/current students), so ~ 180 students admitted. Yesterday or the day before, it drop to 170 (~163) and as of right now, 172 (~165). 176 matriculated last year and I don’t know whether that number will be the same but if we are going off last year matriculated numbers, 11 spots remain. Again, I’ve noticed mostly OOS students that have been joining recently.
I can’t remember where they say this on the website, but they aim for 70% of the class to be IS. Class size ~176. So 50 OOS/year give or take. In my class there are OOS that didn’t have ties, so not exactly sure what they’re looking for with OOS.
It all depends on the year, some years it does, some years it doesn't. There is not really a way to predict it. Although, it is likely that overall WL movement will slow down as the cycle progresses going into the summer
I’m a few ranks lower than this on the IS wait list as well and haven’t heard anything either :/
Same. I wonder if the class is full....curious to see how many IS people they took off the waitlist this year
Me when OOS has reached #27 but IS probably has not even passed #3 🤔
Makes sense since IS folks probably more likely to commit than OOS.
First year class is scheduled to start Aug 21st, 2023, orientation occurs throughout the first week mixed in with general curriculum. More info is generally released by the school in early June. White coat ceremony happens the Friday afternoon of the first week.
Hey, I'm in the same situation! DM me.
You could probably ask the school specifically. Though, at this point in time, its more likely that there won't be financial aid packages additional to loans, especially for OOS. It really just comes down to which school is more economical to attend.
There are people in my class who have successfully negotiated to decrease their cost of attendance by sharing the cost of attendance of other schools they were accepted at. You already have the A, I think that it would not hurt to reach out to the office and let them know your situation
I declined my A, best of luck to those on the WL!
Thank you! Best of luck in your reapplication! I was a reapplicant this cycle and know that feeling, don't give up!
