I have been accepted to a medical school and offered my financial aid award, but I am also on the waitlist at my top school. It is unlikely that I will get in off of the waitlist since I am on the lower tier. My question is should I go ahead and accept the financial aid at the school I have been accepted to or wait? And also what happens if I accept the award offer but then get in the my top choice and go there? Thanks.

I think you can go ahead and accept it now. It's not like accepting the offer is the same thing as literally taking out the loans. I think its all tentative until you actually matriculate.
Does anyone else know for sure? I don't want to make a mistake by accepting it.
This. You can accept it now and wait on other offers. You aren't committed until you sign the papers to actually matriculate into the school.
Thanks. Has anyone on here done this? or anyone in the past?
