Do we do the certiphi background check once total or once for each school?

Also man - wish I was getting some February decisions, I'm still waiting on 6 schools and all of them said I would know in March :(

I was fortunate enough to have 5 interviews. So far, I've heard back from one school (WL) and nothing from the others. One of the schools is set to release a big batch of decisions on Friday, and honestly, I'm not telling anyone I know that I should hear something back on Friday because I don't want to have to repeat the bad news over and over if I get rejected or waitlisted :p

Yeah good idea. I told everyone when I would be hearing back from one of my schools, and not only were they late in responding but I also got WLed when I finally did find out, so I had to tell everyone over and over that I hadn’t heard and then the bad news when I did. Would have been much nicer if I hadn’t told anyone.

Haha I'm not even telling my family. I love them to death but they don't help with the stress at all.

My dad's favorite phrase to bring up whenever anything about med school is discussed is "all you need is one acceptance", which, while true, just makes me more stressed out that I have yet to receive an acceptance :p

I keep telling myself that!

It's hard not to stress about the alternative though, especially because I feel like I put together a fairly strong application - which leaves me wondering what exactly I'm supposed to improve for the next cycle!

I received two acceptances and one waitlist this past week! I feel so lucky :happy: I haven't settled on where I'm going yet- I haven't heard back from one of my schools, and financial aid information will factor into my decision as well.

For those of you still waiting to hear back, hang in there! That acceptance will be worth the wait ;)

I'm so excited and nervous for this upcoming month. Supposed to get 5 (potentially 6) decisions back this month. It's been pretty easy not worrying about it but with this cold school has been closed and February starts tomorrow so now I'm starting to think about it again. The semester has been a blessing in disguise keeping me busy haha.

Lol, didn't realize that there was a Class of 2023 thread! This is pretty neat.

Random question: It is not "bad form" to submit FAFSA to schools where you haven't been accepted, right? I was thinking of filling out the FAFSA for the school where I have already been accepted but was wondering if it was also acceptable for me to send it to the schools where I have upcoming interviews for (part me being lazy, part me trying to be proactive on the off-chance I get an additional acceptance(s) from those remaining schools).

I added all the schools where I had interviews, so I don't think it's bad form at all! One of my schools even told us on interview day to just add them to our FAFSA school list, even if we hadn't gotten a decision from them yet.

Like scribbles&rambles mentioned it is fine. I added a bunch of schools I haven't heard back from yet. They even said on interview day at a lot of them that it will help get financial aid packages quicker that way if we get an acceptance.

Yea, thats what I thought too. Especially at this stage of the game, if I get into additional schools I'd like their financial aid packages as soon as possible.

Same. I still have interviews left. I turned down the ones I wouldn’t choose over my current acceptance though.

I want to start looking for apartments and planning my move. Vacay sounds nice too though.

Same. I hope to take off work to move in as early as mid-May but, if I don't hear back, I'm just going to continue to work until mid-June at the latest. It's definitely a bummer.

Maybe not. My friends in Med school seem to be out of the country on vacay on every break they have. Not sure how they afford it.
