does anyone who was accepted know how many people are in the Facebook group? And are most people who were accepted planning on going? I’ve seen that some years have no waitlist movement and some have quite a bit so I’m just tryna come to terms with it if it seems like it prolly won’t happen

I am currently in the FB group and group me and no one has really talked about second look. This is probably because they have not sent out an official email for the weekend.

Wait sorry can you explain this further? I’m waitlisted for the JMP and med school, but I didn’t see anything where I needed to take further action 👀

Waitlist status should appear on CYMS, but for some reason UCSF has not updated it. Nothing we can really do on our part tbh
 
Unfortunately, I wasn’t accepted here. But is someone willing to tell me when the last interview date here was?
 
Does anyone know the waitlist rules surrounding CYMS? I know that we have to select one school to attend by April 30th, but if I wish to remain on the WL for UCSF while also selecting one of my acceptances, can I?

Yea, but you have to select PTE. Only do CTE if you no longer care about the WL or the CTE deadline for your school is up.
 
does FAFSA still show 'not received' on the financial aid documents & messages for anyone? everything else shows received. any idea on when UCSF will send out financial aid packages?

I think a lot of schools are delayed. This won't really answer your question, but is what a SDN admin posted yesterday in regards to financial aid matters:
WildWing said:
FYI: The AAMC provided the following recommendations for students holding acceptances but waiting to get scholarship information based on FAFSA before choosing which school to attend:
  • If they have questions for schools where they have been accepted, they should ask the school's admissions office directly.
    • They can ask when the school anticipates making and communicating decisions related to scholarships and loans (for most situations, loans are a given and may not typically be sent until later, so scholarship decisions is likely the pertinent question to help applicants make decisions)
    • If this is after the April 15 and 30th protocol and CTE (Commit to Enroll) dates, they can ask if the school is willing to allow time to decide until scholarship decisions are made and communicated.

Anyone know where WL peeps can send an update? Don't see anything on the portal.
 
Hi everyone, received a financial aid award estimate letter yesterday. Letter says "You have been awarded a full tuition and fees scholarship". Does that mean a full-ride including housing or only tuition. Currently on alt list for regular MD, was accepted into SJV PRIME.

The wording indicates that housing/living expenses are not included.
The loan amount you would need for just those things would be manageable.

My aid package is essentially nothing and I'm very much freaking out. I was a Cal/Pell grant/work study recipient, and now I'm nontrad/FAP recipient, and my parents are both retired and cannot help me out so .. I have been crying all day

I'm so sorry - I remember feeling similarly panicked a few years ago when I got in and wondering how on earth I would come up with the money without more aid or help from family (I was 31 when I started at UCSF). I would try to take a breath and remember it is doable. You got into med school! Your dream of becoming and MD is in reach, even if it means things may have to be a little "lean" the next few years.

It's a reasonable thing to worry about, but in retrospect I wish I hadn't let the anxiety get to me as much. By the 4th year of residency I am earning triple what my UCSF tuition was. I can make $1-2k in one moonlighting shift. I'm still in an expensive city and there's ongoing discussions about the financial stress on residents especially given many are still paying back educational loans, but our program has been receptive and even starting giving out a housing stipend to offset the rising rent.

Be in touch with the financial aid office. It never hurts to let them know that you'd be interested in whatever work-study or scholarship applications they might know of. And if you get a better financial aid packed elsewhere, seriously consider taking it. No one will hold it against you and you'll make someone on the wait list very happy. You've got this.
 
Sorry for the neuroticism, but for those accepted and in the GroupMe, has there been movement out of it since the narrowing to three schools “deadline”? And does it seem like there may be movement this year or nah

Not accepted, but I've been monitoring the Facebook page for accepted students (currently at 165-10 admins) and there hasn't been any movement there this past week or so. There might be a lot of people that haven't yet joined, however.

Since Monday, 3 people have left the Groupme! 5 or 6 have joined though, I assume maybe from waitlist or they just found out about it later? Not sure
