Hi! After you've completed the FAFSA and necessary school-designated financial aid forms, I'm wondering if med schools release their financial aid packages to students prior to them receiving your official transcript from your undergraduate institutions? Or do you they have to receive the transcript(s) before financial aid is offered?

They do not need to receive the official transcript from your undergrad school before releasing financial aid. Generally, you only send the official transcript to the one school you decide to attend. That being said, not all medical schools will provide you financial aid information before the deadline when you need to decide where to matriculate.

@Goro I know you have plenty of guides with great advice (Re-Invention, Interview season, Success In med school, etc)
Do you happen to have a financial aid guide as well?

Nope. This is way outside my knowledge base
