2016-2017 Rosalind Franklin University Application Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
What's the deal with financial aid packages? I filled out the app for it forever ago and never heard anything back. Should I call? I recently received another acceptance with a scholarship so I'd really like to get a solid confirmation of my cost for RFU
Called the office a few days ago, scholarship packages come with the acceptance offer and financial aid comes around June. Expect
to pay full price with full aid and no grants/scholarships if you haven't gotten something already.

That's lame. I haven't seen anyone on here post anything about getting a scholarship.
 
Withdrew earlier today after getting an acceptance to my top choice school. I honestly loved CMS so it was kind of a bittersweet moment. Good luck to all those on the waitlist!

When did you interview?
End of January! Btw, I don't think their real waitlist movement has started, I would expect more to hear back starting next week. Rooting for my fellow SDNers :)

Thanks! Hoping you're right!
 
After being put on the waitlist, can you be rejected before the class fills?

Just got rejection email from the wait list over an hour ago. Good luck to everyone else!

Hey, sorry about your news. I didn't realize you could be waitlisted then rejected, post-interview. Would you mind sharing the wording? I just want to be prepared going forward. I've been under the impression that I'm waitlisted indefinitely until RFU says the class is full or if I'm lucky enough to be accepted.

I also assumed the same.
 
Accepted off the waitlist today! Interviewed early January and waitlisted in February.

Hey thanks for the love! Good luck and congratulations!! Which one? I went to McGill for undergrad. Loved it! There's such a small number of med schools in Canada--what an honor to be accepted! Well done!:highfive:
 
Anyone else still not rejected pre-II/post-secondary?

I know a lot of students choose to live in Woodlands but are there any complexes (Deer Valley or Forest Pointe) in Lake Bluff or Wakeugan that a lot of students drift to?

Accepted 5/26!!!

Interviewed 3/17, Waitlisted 3/30

Such a relief. This is my first acceptance.

Note: for some reason the email was sent to my promotionals tab in Gmail. Seems like a pretty important email for Google to categorize incorrectly!

Congratulations :) that's crazy about the email going into your promotions tab. One more place where I'm gonna feverishly check many times daily hahaha You made it in--I cannot even imagine how good that must feel. Soak it all in!!
 
Has anybody heard back recently? Does anybody know if they have hit capacity?

I was considering calling. I think my odds are pretty slim at this point (mostly because I have called twice and received 0 calls back for 2 different questions...). I know they are surely crazy busy, so I don't hold it against Admissions at all. Have you called or emailed them? I would bet emailing would be way faster. When I was in direct contact with my admissions counselor that did my tour he would email within 24 hours.
