Yeah my fam is pretty poor, but my interviewer (who is one of the directors) said I'd be getting a really generous aid package when they called to accept me (also had mentioned this at the end of my interview with them). All of this happened before I submitted my financial information - hope this helps!
Same, Emily said "you won't have to worry about paying for your medical education" when she called me for the A. Love her 😍🤧
So did you get a grant that exceeds full tuition? That then gives you money for cost of living as well?
That is what the grant would do but they gave me loans instead which I will negotiate once I hear back from one of their rival schools to have more leverage
Oh I see - I thought you were saying you already negotiated and got a second offer extremely quickly. thanks for clearing things up!
I'll keep this thread posted if they give me anything after negotiating and how much they give me too
I haven’t heard anything still
I had the same situation and emailed my other offers (full ride + full tuition) to the financial aid office as well as an explanation of current family financial situations and got an email from them the next day. They said they won’t be able to provide an update to my aid until after 2nd look but will do so before the April 30th deadline, then had me email them my other offer letters for proof.
Ok that makes sense why I haven’t heard back yet. So stressful that they wont give us a response until after second look that’s like a week to renegotiate everything afterwards agh.
@I_like_Floors we need your help sir
They can provide full COA though it is rare. They just rejected my request for a stipend 🤧. I am sensing that they likely not only want u to have large need but also COA offers from other places to match (just my opinion)
Though it is strange they didn't match for you. I didn't have any other COA offers just full tuition. Maybe they r low on scholarship funds?
Why r they so stingy now, I thought they were known to be generous 🤧🤧
I was really surprised
maybe they pulled a Vandy and offered more funds than they intended to truly give when they initially provided aid packages
I am glad to hear it, does this mean uchi > FSM
As of 3 hours ago, yes! Which is insane to see that a choice has finally been made, I am very happy 🥳
Why are they so stingy this year 🤧🤧🤧
I know right! I was hoping for a little something
Pritzker will always have my heart though, they have such a wonderful ethos and community. Happy for anyone who ends up there ❤️ Are you set on UChi?
I am leaning uchi. I was hoping for a stipend to seal the deal and if FSM doesn't match then UChi all the way. What r u considering now?I know right! I was hoping for a little something
Huge congrats!!! I was between here, Yale and UCSF but UCSF came through with more financial aid so I am going to Californiaaa.
You too, doctor! Can't wait to see what you decide 🤩
Gotcha, okay thank you! Glad to know they didn’t stop yesterday
They said by Friday at the latest if I recall
Did they increase yours?
That's what I like to hear
no clue, but apparently their group chat is near max so...
damnno clue, but apparently their group chat is near max so...
do you happen to know if people have begun to left it/ been booted already? I think last year's thread mentioned there was like a mass exodus within the gc before waitlist movement began.damn
R u attending?Was accepted off the waitlist this afternoon after talking with admissions in the morning about interest and FA
Yes am planning to PTE! Just waiting for all the financial aid info to come in first just in case!
Welcome future classmate!
I am not sure, only one person joined the groupme so we now have 90 instead of 89 (including several students)
