How many of you have deposits in @ more than one med school where you've been accepted?

I do. And I'm sure I'm not the only one. I know a lot of us are putting deposits down and saving a place until we see the financial aid packages.

I do. I am waiting to hear what kind of financial aid will be available.

 

[kiwie07]

Me too. Not only finaid, but i'm having a hard time deciding.

Yup. The good thing about Case, Loyola, and Tulane is that they don't require any $ down to hold a seat. Tulane wants $500, but not until May 15 when you decide you want to go there for sure.

Me too. However, I'm waiting to see how the Texas match treats me on Feb 1st. I applied in and out of Texas.

how long could you hold them? I heard some schools only give you 2 weeks or so to reply.

I think most places give you three weeks to reply that you want to hold a spot, but there is really no penalty (other than a small deposit at some places) for replying "yes" and then giving up the spot in May if you are accepted someplace else you prefer. That's why all the waitlists move significantly in may.

When will you find out what financial aid packages you will be offered at schools you're accepted to?

By May 15 you can only be holding 1 acceptance.
