thank you so much!! where did you find info about the revisit?

I got this same info about second look during my acceptance call!

 

[BerserkerIP]

just recieved the call early today. my letter came in earlier then expected. for those admitted, has anyone looked into housing options that UChicago may offer outside of finding an apartment? Please let me know!

 

[snowbolt23]

WL question -- does UChicago have a recommended timeline to send letters (updates/intent) for people on the waitlist? It is my top choice school and program so any insight would be so incredibly welcomed.

Has anybody received a merit scholarship yet?

Has anybody received a merit scholarship yet?

Last year scholarships were sent mid march

 

[I_like_Floors]

Any sense of the landscape of scholarships available? Are there full tuition? Full ride? Are they as generous as Wash U seems to be?

From what I have heard, they are willing to go up to full tuition AND cost of attendance. IDK if this is based only on need or merit or both though. Additionally, 60% of the incoming class will have a full tuition scholarship (they sent an email or something about this a while ago).

 

[I_like_Floors]

Is the 60 percent full tuition merit?

I am not sure. Here is the link. I also made a mistake, the website says 50% (though I think I read somewhere that it is actually closer to 60% now, I do not recall where I read that).

School of Medicine to provide full-tuition scholarships to up to half of each incoming class

Here it said that 59% of last year's MS1s received full tuition scholarships!

 

[pencil434]

So we should start seeing posts about FA and merit awards soon right?

When I emailed about some of my files around a month ago the associate director of fin aid said that I could expect a financial aid notification by mid March!

 

[I_like_Floors]

Decisions for scholarship and aid come out starting March 22nd!

Can I DM you, please? (or you start the conversation because it wont let me start the conversation)

 

[I_like_Floors]

Congrats!! Should we be waiting for email or checking portal or is it in both?

email (came to a different email than my AAMC one though)

 

[I_like_Floors]

Wow how did it go to another email?

I think it was the email that I kept using to contact them so maybe they saw that one and sent it. there is NO portal update for me though

 

[sugar_n_splice]

Full tuition!

 

[brevity]

Congrats to everyone who's heard so far : ) praying for the rest of us to hear something!!

 

[Realperson67]

Congrats everyone! Did emails come from admissions or from financial aid? A little confused since they said the 22nd.

this is the email: [email protected]

 

[sugar_n_splice]

It also may depend on when you turned in fin aid forms

 

[pbnj1448]

75% scholarship received just now! For context I turned in my financial aid on 3/2. Also came in a different email than my AAMC.

 

[BrokenLlamas]

Also received a full tuition scholarship!

I must’ve put it on a form at some point but they’ve never sent anything to that email so I’m not sure why it went there tbh 🤔

 

[sugar_n_splice]

These different emails are scaring me. Can anyone who received an email confirm whether it also shows in portal anywhere?

Nothing in the portal! My email was the same as I have been using for all correspondence as well

 

[Realperson67]

Just got email, Full Tuition as well! 🙏🏾

Congrats! Are these financial awards for URMs exclusively?

 

[sugar_n_splice]

Up to half of the class receives full tuition and there was no mention of it being a URM scholarship from the email. It was just called the Pritzker Scholarship.

Looking back it said "Our review of your financial aid file has resulted in the following estimated financial aid offer..."

Yeah I think they said 59% got full tuition last year, so highly doubt it’s only URM.

 

[cavaenthusiast]

I just realized now that I never got a confirmation email following when I submitted my financial aid application in January. Did anyone else that submitted around then not get a confirmation email? Now I’m worried they did not get my information by the priority deadline and I won’t be considered for some scholarships

I don't think I got a confirmation either but I got the scholarship (i would email them)

I didn’t get a confirmation email either, so I emailed them and they checked their records. I’m sure you’re fine!

For those who got the full tuition scholarships, if you don't mind, what does your family financial situation look like? I got the 75% scholarship which is great, but just less than I anticipated because my parents income is low low.

Same here. 75% scholarship, near poverty guideline, and somehow my debt by going here would be more than their average indebtness.

I qualify for need based too but on my initial offer I didn't get any grants for COA only loans so idk. But I heard that they almost never give grants in their first scholarship offers but they are willing if u write to them

Yeah my fam is pretty poor, but my interviewer (who is one of the directors) said I'd be getting a really generous aid package when they called to accept me (also had mentioned this at the end of my interview with them). All of this happened before I submitted my financial information - hope this helps!
