Hello fellow Emory person
R~
That is interesting When are all of you moving to Nashville? One place I interviewed at said you should move a month before school starts.

With zero personal savings , if I quit my job and moved a month before school starts, I'd be completely broke by the time classes begin. This might lead to other undesirable consequences. For instance, my landlord in Nashville will probably end up ejecting me for no payment of rent and report me to the adcoms who will perhaps promptly revoke my acceptance.

I was thinking about 2 weeks; one to move all my stuff down (which probably won't take the whole week anyway) and one to settle in and learn the city before school starts. 
A month?
I'll bring the plastic plates...lol. I loved MMC but I also loved the other school...I am just going to pray on it and hope the Lord makes my decision a little more clear.
One month is a long time, I was thinking 2 weeks like prettymd said. Maybe we can all get together before school starts and have a potluck
On another note, I'm a little stressed because I just found out that I have 1 week to make a final decision
I hope you guys had a Happy Easter!!!
I am really blessed because I sent in all my applications REALLY late...like before the deadlines of when everything was due---and I got interviews from almost everywhere that I applied to and I applied to 12 schools (my premed advisor told me no one would accept me, go figure.) besides the fact that instate tuition is only 12,000 a year while everywhere else is around 36,000. It also is a great school. It is my number one choice so if I get in I will go, if not I will go to Meharry. Looking at my list, Meharry had the most pros and the least cons. However, for some reason I dont want to withdraw my acceptance from PCOM I guess I am being selfish for holding the spot when I know I am going to go somewhere else Hey Rumple! That is a great idea, I am currently in the process of doing that based on several categories. So did you choose the school with more pros or the one with less cons? I am trying to decide between my state school and MMC. My state school is about 3x cheaper but I just felt like I would be happier at MMC for some reason and everyone was so nice. There was a random guy who helped me carry my luggage and guided me to where we had to be on my interview day, so I was set with good impressions from the beginning. I know I will have a good support system there. Plus, whats a few thousand bucks...haha
I see you have a tough decision as well, I sent in my $300 already, which was about a month ago because I really have no clue where I want to go and I didn't want to give up my spot at MMC. It was hard to let the $300 go..hehe. Hey..when did you interview? One of the fellow interviewees during my interview (on 1/12) had just finished an interview at PCOM.
I interviewed back in December, and got accepted before the New Year, so a lot of stress was taken off me for the rest of the cycle
I had to send in 250.00 for PCOM back in January.
However, I am still waiting to hear back from my state school. I interviewed there mid-march and still waiting to hear the decision. Of course if I get in there I will go because I already have a scholarship to go there for free
because they start before 7/30.

Nobody follow in my foot steps, but I'm not going to be up in Nashville until a week before orientation. I'm waiting out as long as possible in case I get pulled off one of my waitlists. I can only wait and see. Has anybody found any month to month apartments for rent/lease? I don't want a long term lease because we'll be buying a house in July/August once my husband comes up to Nashville.
Why did they say a whole month? I'd be bored out of my mind!
lol, good luck with that.Nobody should expect me in Nashville until the night before school starts.
In fact, I'll probably move into town the first day of class and leave my Uhaul outside the lecture hall. That way, after classes, I can recruit some of you to help me offload my stuff from the truck to my apartment.

DoctaJay...NO!!!! Where are you and your financee now attending? That must have been a difficult decision...does it have to do with starting school so early and you are getting married in July? We will miss you but wish you the best for both you and your bride-to-be!

Also, have you decided if you are going to go to Meharry or not? If not, I will happily take that 40,000 from you
. Sorry, hate to disappoint you
My state schools are still acting stupid (waitlisted), Howard only shelled out $5K, so Meharry is looking like a possibility every passing day - and for that reason I'm still keeping that $40K for myself
So how are you all going to deal with the impending tuition increase? (I understand the new president, Dr. Riley, is already asking for an increase in tuition). Not that it is surprising but I'm hoping they will recalculate our financial aid awards to take the new increase into account if or when the increase is approved. I wonder why medical schools are so greedy.
You mentioned you got your award letter on Monday and "last year all our fees..." Are you in the 2010 or 2011 class? You're confusing me.
She is in the 2010 class.
Hmm.. let's see. Housing within 5-10 miles. Lately I've been hearing about some apartments behind TSU that are pretty nice and a decent price, but I'm not sure how you go about renting those. There are apartments off Metrocenter Blvd. that are nice (The Parc at Metrocenter), but they're going to run you about $780 in rent per month. If you can find a way to qualify for low-income housing there's a lot of places near school (the Villas at Metrocenter, amongst other places). I've also heard of decent prices out by the airport (Donelson Pike area). Several of my classmates live in Bellevue in random complexes (The Lexington, Grand View, The Lakes of Bellevue, etc.), which is about 11-15 miles from campus depending on the complex in which you reside. You can always look into apartments near Vandy as well, just keep in mind that they're going to be a lot more expensive than those further out.Thanks for the clarification...but trust me, I'm not as ******ed as I sound.
But anyway, Ayzn, do you know of any decent apartments within good striking distance of Meharry? All the apartments I've seen online so far are between 10 - 20 miles of the school. I would prefer something within 5 - 10 miles of the school. Help a brotha out!
