Still haven't gotten my financial aid stuff yet, should I email the guy? I had everything by the "priority deadline."

Just being paranoid like usual. 😉

Couldn't hurt. Mr. Martin's a nice fella.

Wish me luck on the FE tomorrow! Not that I've had time to study.....

I'm not sure what the FE is, but good luck!

Oh, and I finally got my fincial aid stuff. Having a small panic attack before I sign my name to $35,000 of debt for the next year... On the other hand, feeling pleased about possible vacation and/or Vespa I may blow some $$$ on. 😉

For some reason everytime I see your name I always think "booomed" . Like the past tense of something exploding instead of Boo Med.

Anyway, is 35,000 the average amount of loans UAB students have to take out a year?

Fundamentals of Engineering, it's basically the equivalent of USMLE step 1 for engineers. and it sucked.

I know what you mean about all that debt, but I've also got my eyes on a vulcan 500 ltd.... so maybe it's not all bad 🙂

Yeah, my fiance pointed that out about three seconds after I registered the name, now it's too late to change it.

You don't have to take out that much (like if you are living somewhere for free or posess your own trustfund or whatever), but $35,000 covers everything for a year. (Or eleven months technically.) And UAB is a really cheap school! 😛

Well, according to the finaid office $35,000 covers everything for a year... I'm not sure the lady and I would get by on that though!

Urg, stupid last 2 weeks of school....

I wonder how much we get after tuition and everything is taken out... hmm, I'm going to research that.

Good luck with your finals and all... 🙂

I think the number will be around 18K. The max loan - tuition & fees - loan fees = ~18K. In two payments, I guess 8-9K each. Not much money, if you are trying to actually live off of it.
I just wish I could get the check sooner rather than later. Oh well, I guess I'll buy my ipod later....

I will very happily be living on it, that is more than I've ever gotten as a refund before! Then again, I don't pay rent, which makes a huge difference in expense levels.

At least you know that between now and then they'll probably be about 20 new versions of the ipod that are way better than the old ones. 😉

i havent gotten my campus selection or financial aid yet....what gives?

 

[odrade1]

i havent gotten my campus selection or financial aid yet....what gives?

Do you mean that you don't know which campus you will be at, or do you mean that you haven't filled out the selection form?
The selection form is available online. I got my acceptance email first, and then several days later got a letter that spelled out the terms of the acceptance and detailed which campus I would be on.

If you are waitlisted you can fill out financial aid forms, but you probably won't have a campus assignment yet.

If you are accepted, and don't know which campus you are on, it may be that for later in the acceptance cycle, it takes the school longer to place students at the different campuses.

For financial aid, it may be that you have to have agreed to matriculate at a school, sent in your deposit, returned your acceptance form, etc... in order for them to process your financial aid application to the point where they send you the financial aid figures. If you've done all this and it's been a few weeks since you processed your financial aid apps, try calling financial aid to see if they have your app or if it is missing.

 

[PapaDosh]

To everybody out there who is on hold at USA, I called on this past Wednesday(26th) and the person who answered the phone said that they could probably give me their decision the following Friday(May 5th).

He also told me that those of us on the on hold list would either be not accepted or waitlisted, which confused me because thats not how I understood the on hold list status. Did I fall asleep or something when they told us what the hold list is for? Could somebody clear this up for me?

Anybody going to the crawfish boil fri/sat?

Anybody going to the crawfish boil fri/sat?

What's that? 😕 😛

 

[jammin06]

What's that? 😕 😛

if my memory serves me correctly, it's a two day event in downtown where there's just a massive festival where people eat lots of crawfish. Ususally there's a bunch of musical performers. I remember when i was in high school, they had John Mayer come and play. It's kinda like a mini version of City Stages that has the central theme of crawfish.

That is so weird, I live downtown and I haven't heard an inkling about it. I like crawfish... but I have to close my eyes to pull them apart, the little eyes freak me out.

Hmm, I'm tempted to shell out for the VIP passes. Free crawfish and VIP bathrooms! 😛

In Oregon we call them crawdads and they pinch you while you're swimming. Maybe I should eat a few to get revenge.

Yeah, it sounds tempting, but I don't think I'll eat $48 worth of crawfish. And as far as bathrooms go, hey, I'm a guy, it's not like we have to make contact with the public potties or anything... :-D

 

[odrade1]

Long, long ago, in the late spring of my 21st year, I went to the crawfish event and had a fantastic time. I was wearing my new "Betty Ford: Prep School Boys" t-shirt, which later that day was forever ruined. The event (and also what used to be my favorite bar) were in Lakeview that year, and my friends and I had a wonderful Saturday. We set up camp on the front porch of the bar (Joe bar, now Lakeview oyster house), overlooking one of the main streets the festival was on, and drank from morning until that evening, when cops herded everyone out of the neighborhood due to tornados hitting downtown...so we went back into the bar to have another drink & wait out the torndado. Since I enjoy drinking with friends, hanging out in my favorite bar, watching tornados, and panicking (but not dangerous) crowds of rednecks, considered the day a success.

Of course, much, much more transpired that day, but this being a forum for polite conversations, and my secret identity being compromised and all......

I haven't been to the boil since they moved it out of lakeview, but then i only rarely enjoy concerts or large throngs of unwashed people. i went several years, and it was fun. I would reccomend it to anyone new to Birmingham (or anyone not new).

I'm renting a dumpster this weekend and doing some demolition work in my basement, so I won't be crawfish broiling anytime soon. You guys will have to let us know how it goes.

Back to the subject of med school:
Has anyone heard anything from the school yet? I know my financial aid worked out, but apart from that I haven't heard anything, and it is killing me not to have firm information about dates, orientation week, class schedules, etc.
Arghhhhhhhh!

And what about the grades thing?!!
Are we pass/fail, HP/P/F, ABCDF, or what?

i filled out the campus selection form, but just havent been assigned anywhere. i got the acceptance email, but havent gotten the one in the mail saying where i would be for the clinical years. I choose Bham only (lived in big cities all my life as an OOS), so they may be trying to fit me in somewhere. I already got my financial aid stuff tho. Anyoen have an idea? It's only two weeks til i have to decide where i am going.......

My guess is we won't hear anything until a few weeks after the 15th. They'll see how many people holding multiple acceptances are going to stick with UAB, then they will start going down the waitlist. Once the class is essentially filled out, we'll probably start seeing info pop up in the mail and on the website. I wish it would happen earlier, I'm too anal about accidentally missing stuff, even though I know I won't.

Even if they've already made a decision on grades, we probably won't hear anything official until orientation. I know this much, it will either stay with the quartile pass/fail system they are currently using, or they will switch to straigh pass/fail. They aren't considering any other options. However, if there is a change, it doesn't really matter. They are still going to be tracking raw scores for class rank purposes, so it really is only a nominal change.

Okaaay...

Anyway, after you sent in your financial aid form, did anything happen? Did you get more paperwork or something to fill out?

 

[odrade1]

They sent me the little confirmation postcard, where you agree to accept the loans they offered. (one side is a customer satisfaction survey, the other is the contract.) I returned the card. The financial aid still isn't showing as finalized on the computer, but I'll wait another week before I call them again.

Today I got something from AAMC or someplace similar, offering alternatives to school-based financial aid. I'm not really interested in that, so I may not look at it any further.

 

[DoctorPardi]

Anyone know the in's and out's of applying ED at UAB? I was wondering what the minimum MCAT/GPA was? Also I am going to be taking the MCAT next year so I wanted to know if I could take one of the summer MCATs (before the august, but after the april) and still be complete before august?

I am hoping the added number of MCATs being offered and the fact that it will be computer based will allow summer MCATers to be able to do the ED thing.

 

[flashmark]

Anyone know when UAB's white coat ceremony will be this year? It's usually a Friday or Saturday after orientation, but I can't find any info on it. Just curious so I can give people advanced notice to come.

Check your acceptance email & letter again. I can't find mine right now, but I think I remember it saying when orientation week would be (the last week of July), and giving a date for the ceremony. I think it's that Saturday.

I did EDP at UAB; rules: minimum 30 mcat, no score below 9, GPA of 3.6, in-state residents only. The due date is in August. The committee was really great about letting us know in a timely manner. They interviewed us on Thursday and contacted us on Friday to let us know their decision.

I heard that the scores should come back to you in 2 weeks (instead of 8) for the computer-based mcat. If the test was in early july, you could get your results and hit submit before the August deadline. Go ahead and get your letters together & finish filling out the amcas weeks ahead of when you think you will need it. I had to rush a bit because I put off getting my letters, and I had to ask for a one week extension on my secondary app. If they hadn't given it to me I would have been up a **** creek.

ED apps move fast. I got a request for a secondary (with a two week deadline) in 24 hours of submitting my amcas ed app. This required another round of short essays and two more letters (from other sources than your faculty committee).
Before you submit, I'd go so far as notifying your personal letter people (not faculty) of the fact that you plan on asking them to write you a letter, and letting them know that the turnaround time will have to be very very short. I'd say have them write it ahead of time, but I can't remember what the prompts were for the letters.

Good luck

Thanks for the info, I had a few extra questions based on your response.

1) How many letters did you initally submit, and how many letters did you submit the second time around? (where did these extra letters come from?)
2) Approximately what date/month did you know you were accepted? I mean did you get an interview in august and know before august was over? Or did you have to wait until October?
3) Is it almost automatic acceptance if you are in-state and meet the EDP requirements?

I got that too, it seemed like an advertisment for private loans. Thank god UAB is cheap enough that we don't need outside loan sources. I just got the first bill for the one I took out during my post bac. By the time it's payed back I'll have paid $18,000 in interest alone. 😱

At this point, I have to become a doctor!

In response to odrade's previous post, there were no prompts for the personal letters, so you can go ahead and request them. You submit 3 at the same time as AMCAS, typically, from faculty. The school will ask for 2 more personal letters with the secondary. The secondary essays were EASY, and had like a 250 word max. That info is in this thread somewhere back around september. The EDP interviews this year were the last week of September, acceptances were handed out the day after the interview. I can't say whether it's automatic acceptance or not, but the stats I've seen suggest the rate is VERY high, once you get to the interview stage. This year it was 100%. I would highly recommend you have an informal meeting with Dr. Smith or someone similar and get a recommendation as to your competitiveness for EDP, they'll point you the right way. The comment made by one of the student tour guides at our interview was that 'as long as you don't walk into the interview and $hit in the floor, you'll get in'. I dunno if that's true or not, but like I said, 100% acceptance this year. I'm pretty sure everyone at the interview was well over the EDP minimum though, so I'm not sure how much they cull the applicants pre-interview.

Out of curiosity, where are you in undergrad?

 

[DoctorPardi]

Out of curiosity, where are you in undergrad?

If by where, you mean year, I am a junior but I decided to go bio major late. So I will be a 5th year senior. If by where you mean what clases I have taken , I have finished gen chem, and intro bio ( as well as several bio electives) and will be taking organic chemistry and physics this comming fall/spring. And if by where (lol) you mean what school, I am going the University of Montevallo (about 30-40 minutes south of Hoover).

I have a premature mdapplicants profile if you'd like to check out my current stats. I feel confident I can graduate with an overall gpa over 3.6 and hopefully a bcpm at 4.0 or close (organic and physics is going to be tough though), as far as if I can make a 30 on the MCAT or not, well who knows.

Thanks for the info!

3) Is it almost automatic acceptance if you are in-state and meet the EDP requirements?

(1) I submitted the AMCAS without my letters ready. My advisor got my 3 faculty letters together and wrote the composite super quickly, and sent those letters to UASOM, as part of the required paperwork that goes with the secondary. You have 2 weeks after they ask for the secondary to get everything to them, so I advise having your faculty recs (and maybe your civilian recs) ready to go when you submit.
(2) I interviewed Sept 28 and found out i was accepted sept 29. I think the timeline went like this:
*EDP app (through amcas) due July 30 or Aug 1
*Request from UAB for secondary app received a day or two later; secondary had a 2 week deadline, and required additional fees, my faculty/comittee letter(s), and character rec letters from other sources (I used my work supervisor and her boss, who I also work closely with.)
*I requested a one-week extension on the secondary deadline (due to my late faculty letters) and got it.
*Between a day and a week after completing the secondary I got an interview request. The interview was scheduled for Sept 28.

As you can see, things move really fast in ED. From amcas submission to acceptance took about 2 months. It was entirely surreal.

3) No, some ED people do not get accepted. (although I think this year everyone EDP was accepted). Some of the ED people were well above the minimum criteria for acceptance. Others were closer to the minimum criteria. I guess everyone had something to offer this year.

Why do you want to do ED?

I second Matt's suggestion to speak to someone at the school. They should be able to tell you if you are barking up the right tree.

 

[DoctorPardi]

Why do you want to do ED?

Well at the moment I am somewhat torn between staying in state and living cheaply and amassing as little debt as possible and moving out of state to get either a big city experience in New York, Boston etc or just checking out another region of the country at great monetary expense lol.

However, UAB is a great school and I would be lucky to go there. So if I maintain my good grades and do well on the MCAT I'll probbaly apply ED to UAB because UAB will be the only place that makes sense for me financially, geographically, socially (family/friends) etc.

Oh and also it will be great to know where I am going so early. I wont be stressed out for an entire year and that will be worth a lot.

 

[pnasty]

anyone know what the normal schedule at UAB is like...class hours and all that stuff

Wish I could tell you. 🙄

 

[odrade1]

Maybe Doctor&Geek or Kal-el could answer from their own experience?

I have a good friend who graduated uasom last year. She never went to class, except for mandatory events, which appear to be pretty infrequent. (Clinical medicine stuff, exams, the occasional faculty/group discussion). Basically, she stayed at home and read transcripts for 2 years....and constantly traveled to cali to meet up with her boyfriend. She said her third year was bad, but I remember how we hung out a lot more third year than we did during her first two years. Personally, I don't think 50-60 hours a week is all that rough. I've worked that many hours a week for most of my life, usually more, if you count coursework.

I'm more than curious about how they will be scheduling our time this coming year, and I am itching to know if they will be trying out any of the future curriculum modifications on us. We'll see.

I got online and checked out an events calendar that listed exam dates and stuff for the M1s and M2s. It let me estimate when classes would be "typically" beginning and ending, when they would overlap, etc... If you are really crazy, try looking at some of the online syllabi they have buried in the uasom website.

 

[BlazerMed]

Anyone heard anything further about the possible switch to straigh P/F?

 

[MattD]

So do you guys think we'll start getting info about the upcoming year next week, or do you think we're gonna have to wait until after 6/9?

Thinly veiled BUMP.

 

[Shades McCool]

No word yet on the grading system for next year. In all honesty, no matter what they do, in the end we will be broken up into quartiles.

 

[BlazerMed]

I talked to the Admissions office today and they hope to be sending out information regarding health forms and the like in the next couple of weeks.

 

[BooMed]

Do we need to do anything with financial aid after sending in the postcard thingy? I'm ready for some med school action.
