I am very confused. I got the email that USC's financial aid deadline is May 2nd. I haven't done anything with the FAFSAs because I am only on waitlists right now. Are you guys sending the FAFSA to the USC school code even though you are on the waitlist? Also, I am confused because other schools I am on the waitlist on just says they will send FAFSA information to accepted students. So should I only do it for USC for now and wait on the other schools?

I personally sent my FAFSA to all schools I considered attending. I would send it to all schools unless they adviced against you sending it to them until accepted.
 
Did anyone else get “LOI received” email? I only got automated response and am kinda stressing

yeah i got one. I know people always say not to worry but that still applies here I promise. If you got an automated response, they got your letter, pinky promise💕
 
Wait, I only got one email that said "Letter of Intent Received" and not one with general application information. I forgot to mention my AAMC ID, but I did use the same email as my application, so should I do something?

I got the opposite but I’m thinking maybe it’s because I included my name in the subject line and not just “LOI”? I know they had to have received it but I’m still stressing whether to email and double check that it doesn’t get lost in all the emails I’m sure they receive.

no call just an email?

yeah, i only got an email which i thought was weird. was paranoid it might’ve been an accident but got a separate acceptance email, saw the accept/decline offer in my portal, and AMCAS updated to show my acceptance too. so i dunno why there wasn’t a call

When I called admissions this morning he said no one had declined their offer so I guess odds don't look good

since they haven’t sent out the “class filled” email yet then there’s still a chance. Don’t lose hope everyone, I was here last year and you all will make it even if it isn’t this cycle❤️
 
Hi! Can someone share the accepted GroupMe (if it exists)? I'm not on Facebook.

just got a scholarship offer from another school so I am willing to bite the bullet and give them a call later. Will report back🫡

okay just got off the phone with them. Apparently they are not seeing a ton of movement this year, and they’re genuinely not sure if there are going to be spots that open up. Not everyone has hit CTE which means they could drop, but due to them still having their PTE up, they’re not sure what will happen. They understand things are really stressful, and that a lot of us are really wanting to go here but I think they’re facing a similar issue to a lot of schools this year especially with the financial aid questions that are lingering

Did they mention having any kind of timeline or it's just up in the air because no one knows if there will be movement or not?

no timeline. But basically since not everybody has hit CTE yet, there could be a few spots that open up. No specific number mentioned, but until that email comes in that the class is filled everyone is still potentially an option
 
If anyone gets calls or updates this week, let us know so we know if its started moving at all.
 
hey y’all I wanted to offer some encouragement since I know this is a super high stress time. Last year I was right here with a lot of you, no A’s and a WL. I ended up reapplying and found that the extra year really helped me evaluate what I wanted/what was the best fit for me. I’m lucky enough to be going to school this summer and will probably withdraw from here. If you’re fortunate enough to get off the WL, congrats! If not, I promise you’ll get where you’re meant to be even if it takes another year, two, or ten. Best of luck to all you future docs❤️
 
I called and she said there is no movement at the moment. They dont know if there will be future movement

When do we think they will send the final email? It seems like it is barely moving
 
hi all! i have a question for those that applied this past cycle -- i am pre-writing secondaries right now. for the "is there anything else you would like us to know?" prompt, i wanted to put that I have an immediate family member who went to/works at keck and thats what inspired me to pursue some of my academics there before med school. i know they don't like why us essays but would this be okay to say? or can i mention this anywhere else in my app??
 
anyone willing to call to see if they have an idea of when their class is full email might be coming out😞
 
I think Ive already called them too many times personally. If someone decides to call, let us all know
 
I emailed them on Monday. They said their deadline to commit is July 2nd, so that it will be a while until their cycle closes.
