That's awesome. When did you interview?

Late Feb!

 

[I_like_Floors]

Will they just send the FA statement today?

IDK, I have to submit my CSS to them and upload tax returns. Hopefully today but the sooner the better.

Late Feb!

Oh ok! That's good news. I had a late Feb interview also. Was sure if that late into cycle would be possible

from what I have seen, Kaiser is not a school that has a big WL. If you are on the WL u have a solid chance of getting in relative to most schools and their big WL

Thanks for sharing🙂

curious about whether people who were accepted off the WL sent a letter of intent?

I sent a letter of interest post-II. I also think that I was a strong match to their mission (which I think they value over stats)

Nah, I didn't communicate at all post-II or post-WL. I honestly wasn't blown away by interview day. I think if they accept LOIs though, it certainly can't hurt. Good luck!

They just gave me full COA valued at ~38k per year 😀

Should be noted that they stated they made my scholarship decision before I sent them my CSS so this may be a merit scholarship???

Congrats!!!!

They sent my FA statement(full COA) the day after I got accepted off the WL. Seems like they probably fast tracked it today since it’s a Friday!

 

[HeyBabyBoy72]

yeah Kaiser gives full tuition and 30K for housing… MacBooks and iPhones… stethoscopes… free ubering! 😦 it’s all crazy

I am pretty sure I will not accept my offer as UChicago gave me a 10k stipend after seeing Kaiser's offer. That being said, I will visit campus soon to make a final decision

Just got the A off waitlist!

email to check portal with Congratulations in the title!

Just withdrew from the WL. Good luck! For transparency, they offered me full tuition and a $38,000+ yearly stipend and were able to offer me a $500 travel reimbursement to visit campus before I decided. I believe the scholarship is merit as it stated it was given to me before they collected my CSS.

AH thank you for letting us know. I thought there was only 5 days to decide once you get the A at this point, is that wrong? also did you give up your spot after oatandcholua posted yesterday at 3:15? if so maybe that means one more is coming hehe!

I gave it to right before the email so it was late at night. I think another spot should be coming out soon 😈. That being said, they didn't give us a specific date to decide by, or at least they didn't give me

It's an amazing school, I am glad it has been passed on to u!

Edit: Wow, Grape!

If it makes you more likely to commit to Kaiser, I wake up every morning wondering how I passed on their amazing financial aid offer 😂! Congrats!

 

[bbgurl]

So happy for everybody getting accepted -- you deserve it. At the same time, does anybody else on here just cry their heart out when they see other people getting off the waitlist? Feels like a fresh stab to the heart every time.

I used to... but at this point I'm just feeling numb 😎

 

[grapesaregreat07]

Thanks guys! (and for those of you still on the waitlist, don't give up hope!!! I was on the verge of giving up and this is my first acceptance off 3 waitlists...)

Does anyone also know when they send you financial aid materials?

Congratulations! Don't stress too much about financial aid. All accepted students at Kaiser receive full tuition + the 38K housing stipend 🙂

Do you have to withdraw from the waitlist if you have committed to another med school (but would totally attend Kaiser if I got the A off the waitlist)? Im not sure if anyone else got the email..

By CTE deadline = you must have 1 acceptance, no waitlist allowed. you are locked into one school, essentially.



PTE = at this point you should have just 1 acceptance, can remain on waitlists.

aitlists.

Is the CTE deadline fixed for all schools? Or it’s school by school specific?

School specific, they typically have that date on their website

 

[I_like_Floors]

I know another person who got off the wl same time as me and he just rejected his offer too. 2 spots available!

 

[iguana_girl]

A just now! I am in shock. First A of the cycle. 😍

CONGRATS! My biggest hope when I turned down my A from Kaiser was that someone with no A get that spot! Enjoy 0 debt!

 

[plainrelic]

[orcafan]

Are we expecting any more waitlist movement? 😭😭😭

 

[bbgurl]
