If you designated "no preference" for the campus preference, are you able to designate your preferred campus during the interview?

I saw somewhere here on SDN that you could request a switch if the acceptance isn’t where you’d prefer to go. Also saw that you could email admissions ahead of time and let them know. I dug for this info because I selected “no preference” too
 
now that we’re entering Feb it’s too late to receive an II here correct?
 
Didn’t realize the Florida Campus didn’t qualify for federal loans😬 is that something I should be seriously worried about?

How much is the deposit if we are accepted?
All I could find on google was 3k from 2019, and I was hoping it has lowered since then.

Yes, no forgiveness plans and less likely to have deferment period post graduation like fed loans. Rate is market based too so highly variable.

Damn... I wish they had made that more obvious when applying otherwise I wouldn't have even applied for the Florida campus.

I think they said it was a $2000 deposit in the info session on interview day!

Yeah, in the email I got from them it's a $2000 deposit that you have to pay in 2 weeks in order to keep your seat
 
I sent a letter of interest but haven’t gotten confirmation and my calls won’t go through. Has anyone else gotten confirmation?

Sallie Mae has a fixed rate plan, and allows for deferment during residency, up to 4 years. Yes, they’ll not be eligible to be forgiven, but this isn’t something that’s going to be unmanageable.

This isn’t the doom and gloom scenario. It’s just a little more frustrating than using the feds.

Ok they just emailed me confirming they received it saying along the lines of “ thank you, your full app is currently under review” but I’ve been complete since early August 😭

Silly question but has Burrell sent any swag to people they've accepted?

You'll get stickers. When you start you'll get a shirt. That's it. Even though they are for profit they don't sell merch really. Only the clubs do

Gotcha, thank you. Do they give out "free" laptops or tablets like other schools do?

That's a huge negative. I wish they included it in the loan package so we could, but they do not. You will need to buy all your own medical equipment too. You can buy the laptop and ask for a loan increase since laptops are required but you cannot do the same for a tablet. Speaking from experience.
