Does anyone know what ‘case-by-case’ means for this school accepting international students? Thinking about applying this cycle.
 
How long does it take for the choose your med school tool to appear on AMCAS when you've been accepted off the waitlist? I'm still not seeing it after two days

It means every international student is not eligible to apply. And that eligibility is determined for each individual.

It is not automatic. VCU has to add you to some list and email the AAMC. Two days is nothing :) take a breath, enjoy the acceptance and congrats!

I was thinking more towards what the exact criteria are. Cannot find it on the website

I don’t think there is exact criteria (I could be mistaken). I was under the impression you submit your stuff and then they determine it? I would give them a call or shoot them an email tomorrow (since today is a holiday).
 
Is VCU HP/P/F for all four years? Or are there letter grades for the 3rd and 4th years?
 
Just a heads up for everyone since it was pretty hidden (at least for me), the deadline to order your white coat is June 5!

I'm assuming it's a soft deadline because they definitely take people off the WL after that date but good to stay on top of stuff.

On the white coat form, it asks for "Please specify how you would like your name embroidered:"

Is that just asking for your name/whether you want a diff name on your coat?

Yeah - so like if you wanted your middle initial on your coat, or like to be clear about a hyphenated last name I guess...?

Does anyone know if financial aid packages have been given out yet?
Click to expand...
I haven't gotten mine yet. I also loafed on reading through the entire financial aid checklist they have, so if you haven't done that, take a look at it. I felt dumb not having done it until this week
 
I'm not applying for any financial aid, but I'm wondering when we actually pay the tuition? I'm guessing it's once everyone has their financial aid packages?

Hope? Yes. But realistically there's not a huge chance at this point in the cycle. Even though schools accept off of WL up till first day of class, WL movement is largely slowed (at least at most schools).
 
The next biggest movement will likely be after the CTE date in July.

There’s probably a few acceptances that are being shuffled through the waitlist rn. It just takes a long time because once admissions notifies an applicant that they have gotten off the wait list the applicant has about a week to decide. If they decline, the next person still gets a week or so. I think after CTE date that week is shortened but not sure by how much.

And just to put this in context there wasn’t much movement after CTE date last year.

What does the commit to enroll date mean? If the date is July 7, when do I have to commit by? Is it before July 7 like on July 6 at 11:59, is it by business hours on July 7 or July 7 at 11:59 pm?

For VCU, the CTE date means you need to change your AMCAS status to commit by 11:59pm on July 7th.

Any one got any merit based scholarship here at VCU? Not a need based aid or subsidized or unsubsidized federal loans. Want to know if VCU gave out any merit based (thru GPA and MCAT or any other academic credential one brings) scholarships, irrespective of not qualifying thru FAFSA or CSS profile thru financial disclosures.
