I got my deferral approval today, so my 17k is back in the pot. I hope you guys get something.

Dude, I'm waiting to hear back from Case about the financial aid package. If they give me some money, I'll most likely go there.

Dude, I'm waiting to hear back from Case about the financial aid package. If they give me some money, I'll most likely go there.

I got 47k in loans but had an 8k efc to make up the difference. Still, no grant money. Considering the cost of living in the clifton area vs downtown augusta and the 22k tutition difference/year up front, I'm going to have to go with mcg. The total difference in loans would likely be about 100k, and since Im not sure what field I want to go into, coming out of medical school with a lower debt load will offer more options. Plus, MCG typically has plenty of rads, ent, ortho, orto, opto meatches and even 3-4 derm so years. Work hard and mcg and you'll get a great residenct spot. It's really no more a 'primary care school' than emory.

Plus there is the COL fractor in augusta vs. atlanta. Augusta has amazingly cheap apartments relative to the clairemont arrea of atlanta, so this only manginfies the total difference.

I can't say that going to emory or MCG is a bad decision. It just depends on what city you want to be in and there is a lot more geograohical diversity at emory. I don't think you will "harm" you future career prospects in any way by going to any school, anf good luck to those next year going to both MCG and emory!!

Has anyone else decided if they are going to attend Emory this fall? Despite the financial aid, I am still going. Is anyone going to be at the housing weekend?

 

[taehong81]

I have decided to attend Emory and will be there during the housing weekend. Maybe we should start a list of people who are attending Emory.

Yo, it was a hard decision, man. I held on to two acceptances until today... both schools emailed me saying that they'll give me till today to narrow down to one schoo, or else, they have to right to rescind my acceptance letters, so i had to make my decision... relatively quickly...

I'm an undergrad at Emory and sometimes the system for some reason doesn't link your password to all the different servers. Try going here: https://pws.cc.emory.edu/cgi-bin/pwdchangen.pl and "maintaing your password." If that doesn't work, then I would call them. They're pretty helpful if you actually get to talk to someone.

Good luck at LA and NYC schools though!
