I know that some schools just offer scholarships upon acceptances. Today when Michigan called me, they offered me 120k over 4 years.
Wow that's a big chunk taken off! If Michigan accepted me and removed that much loan, I would take that offer in a breath! Please, decline the offer so I can get it 🙂 jk congrats!!
 
so about when do you guys think we will start to hear back for more interviews? Im getting greedy now.

Does anyone recommend calling schools to find out status? Because I have 3 silent schools, no AADSAS update, no letter in the mail, no email.
 
Just saw my AADSAS update -- accepted at Loma Linda University! I called them yesterday after I hadn't heard from them and I was told they would be calling students yesterday so i thought I was not accepted. To my surprise it says "offer made" on my status! Patience, all, patience. You never know what can happen 🙂

OMG same for me. It said "invited for interview" yesterday and now it says "offer made"!! Doe this mean I got into the school?? Feels like I am dreaming right now 🙂))
 
Unfortunately I think they are just given so there is no application or qualification process. If you ask me my personal opinion I think schools might just really like certain applicants and don't want to lose them to their state schools so they offer scholarships to even the financial playing field.
I agree... I got a 20k renewable from one school and another generous scholarship offer from a second school that would bring me down to instate tuition costs there. 🙂

Well, out of state tuition at Michigan is 48k. So I will owe 18k in tuition each year. I'm guessing I'll graduate with 150,000 in debt. I feel very fortunate. It's honestly surreal.

And thanks 🙂

someone hit the lotto! thats texas level of overall dental school debt, even less so!

Well done 🙂

Thanks! 🙂 I'm still in shock. I almost feel like it was a dream (because I got the phone call while I was sleeping) I'm almost tempted to call to make sure I'm not going crazy

well it'll be in your acceptance package i'm assuming. just don't fail classes/get fired from staring at it too long!
 
What exactly did you want to know? The scholarship is generous enough I'll be paying the same as in state students.
did the school notify you on the phone or by email to about the scholarship? I missed the phonecall from them and it didn't say anything about that in my acceptance letter

It was mentioned in my phone call and a separate email was sent detailing the scholarship.

Hi Everyone,

I've been lurking since the summer figured I should finally start participating. I am super psyched to say that I was accepted into Pitt and Tufts and I have an upcoming interview at NYU next week! Thanks to everyone for sharing your stories so far it's been inspiring to read about your journeys. Congrats to those who got into school this week! There's still a lot of interviews and acceptances to come so to those who are still waiting on good news, keep the faith!

Sorry did you say 48k a year? So 200k for 4 years? Or did you mean a semester?
 
Accepted: MUSC
Waitlisted: NYU
Denied: UCONN
Interviewed: UCSF (Sent out an email today saying that I am still being considered if I haven't received the 12/1 offer call or a rejection.)

Stats:
sGPA/GPA 4.00/3.97 AA/TS/Reading 23/24/19

And 8 other schools with no news whatsoever. No interviews, no status updates, none. It feels like this is gonna be a lengthy process that lasts through like, Feb/March??!!
