Does that mean the financial aid offer letter doesn't include scholarships? Fin aid letter seemed like they already considered people for scholarship when they determined the loans. Here's the screenshot of what they said:

In my case, I talked with financial aid about it because I had already received my letter, which did not include any scholarship. If you receive the letter without a scholarship, then they said to consider it as the "first review." As someone said before, it can be the case that in the next month, there could be more money to go around.

The first essay, is it 1000 characters per each area of interest? Or 1000 total for all areas?

I know you’re probably pre-writing for the upcoming 2025-6 cycle, save your drafts and be sure to verify in a few weeks to see if they have changed the prompts.
New secondary prompts are not declared yet.

Can confirm that the secondaries do change here and there. I had a work of art planned for one of McGovern's prompts that had been used in many previous cycles. It was Pulitzer-prize worthy. I had to replace my computer because the file made it cry.

They removed that prompt for my cycle.

Yup, doing that. Just doing what I can as a fumbling nontrad who will inevitably mess up somewhere with these essays. My first drafts are bad.

p.s. anyone know where to get some of those essay reviewers? i am going to try my graduate school, but i cant afford all these fancy services and their cost effective $2000 packages.

I would say ask around on reddit/SDN. I got some of my essays read by those who have had successful cycles. Had one guy thoroughly review everything for around $200 and felt that it significantly improved my writing

Do you have anyone that can review them for you? Those services are very, very expensive and I feel like having someone competent you know that can give you honest feedback is almost just as good

My letter from Financial Aid didn't say anything about it being the "first review." It just said that "My Financial Aid Application has been processed." Did your letter say that it is the "first review"?
 
Anyone who already did this cycle, is this second prompt unlimited (gap years, time between college and application)? I have an entirely different career but no idea how in-depth to go.
 
Is there anything we need to do on AMCAS website? I already selected PTE for Baylor. I have a couple of OOS WLs . I would like to withdraw all my other OOS WLs and commit to Baylor and not worry about this any more.

Go ahead and contact each WL school directly to withdraw from your WL positions.
Be happy and make your plans to go to Baylor!

Any one know when to do CTE (Commit To Enroll) for BCM?
Click to expand...
When should you commit to medical school?


Medical schools have individual school-specific dates and policies based on several factors, including the start date of classes when students matriculate to that school. Most schools require that Admitted students “Commit to Enroll” at least 21 days before the class matriculates.

That was YOUR email, not all students get the same emails.
Clearly there was an open spot available at Houston

I mean I imagine that he got the last spot for Houston and I just emailed him later on, unless you’re implying that he was being untruthful to me🤷🏻‍♂️

No, I am stating that the email you got was meant for you.
Why would I say the dean is lying???

I’m sorry, I don’t mean to say the dean is lying or to say that you said he was, I just don’t understand the point you’re trying to make. Are you just saying that he said that there would be no Houston spot for me? Because he said any applicant off the waitlist would go to Temple…

I don’t know what you want from me.
Did you also get an offer from Baylor WL as well as UTMB today?

I don’t want anything, I was just taken aback that someone had received an A for Houston when I had heard that there would be none. And no, I did not receive an offer from BCM, for the record.

From my understanding, It’s likely because for IS students that are pulled from the waitlist they’ll offer a Temple spot but for OOS students they’ll offer a spot to the campus the student left from. But I wouldn’t be surprised if they offer a Houston spot to an IS waitlist because they do have to match campuses demographically and in other ways after all so that could definitely be what they choose.

Thank you for that clarification Christopher Adam Bumstead! Use code CBUM for 15% off your order.

how long are we allowed to stay on an OOS waitlist for if we paid the deposit for BCM?
 
Mat They said:
I know it doesn’t matter much but just curious- has anyone heard of any in-state acceptances to BCM?
Click to expand...
Someone on r/premed said they "knew of several folks who got off waitlists for Baylor and UTSW" on Monday, but that's all I've heard.
 
Sphygmomanometer said:
Hmm judging by past years' trends, is it pretty much over for OOS WL?
Click to expand...
It ain't over until those OOS peeps let go of their multiple acceptances and commit to one school.
There have been some WL offers, follow my Texas Roundup posts for what we know from our SDN members
 
Does/did baylor send out emails after calling folks for their A off waitlist? Wondering bc I no longer have access to my phone

They only send you an email with info if you tell him on the phone that you would like to consider the offer. At least that was the case for me
