Have you filled out your profile? That might be it... but I'm not sure? maybe someone else can help with your messaging. But, I'm here when you get through!!


No, your profile is private. I just checked and I got an error message. Some people here put their profile on private and thus nobody can contact them.

I haven't heard anything from a few schools, have interviewed at 1 school pre-dec and heard nothing, and rejected from others.

Is it worth it to send a letter of intent to schools, even if I haven't heard anything from them?

For schools you haven’t interviewed with, you could send a letter of interest and express your desire for the opportunity to interview.

and for the school you interviewed at you can send a letter of intent if it’s a school you seriously would want to attend but with those you’re basically saying you will absolutely attend if given an offer so just keep that in mind. Definitely don’t send letters of intent to every school

Hello all. I have a question about FAFSA . Does it matter how much was our income for last year? I filed my tax joint with my husband and now asking me about my income separately.
 
Don't know if this is the right place to ask, but I am really hoping for an acceptance at Temple, and I have emailed Brian about my interest in a letter of intent format. I only applied to Temple. Should I call them as a follow up or do schools see that as annoying/pestering? And if I should give them a call, what should I say?
 
Hello all. I have a question about FAFSA . Does it matter how much was our income for last year? I filed my tax joint with my husband and now asking me about my income separately.
For FAFSA, you report based upon your status as of the day you file. So if today you're filing, and today you're married, you must report his and your income.
 
I applied to three schools this year.. LSU, Memphis and Florida. Got waitlisted at LSU on dec. 3, waitlisted at Memphis but applied last year (took my DAT too late last year so LSU wouldnt consider). Nada from FL. After I got waitlisted at LSU decided to apply to 4 more schools in january.. temple, touro, tufts and Lecom. Got interviews within the last few weeks at temple, touro, and tufts. (Couldn’t believe it considering I applied last minute) was on way to tufts interview waiting in Miami airport and found I was accepted to LSU so turned back home.

All the interviews they sent to me for last 3 schools were only in Feb.

Residency- LA
GPA- 3.7, 3.65 science
DAT- 21,20,21,24 QR 16..

Good luck to everyone else!
