<p>Decisions are here!!!</p>
<p>Got acceptance email 4:55 pm 
So psycheddddd…screamed since was at home :D</p>
<p>I WAS ACCEPTED TOOO! I’M SO EXCITEDD!
are you definitely going?</p>
<p>Did the email come with an attachment?</p>
<p>^ Yes, there was the acceptance memo from Dr. Chandler, GMED requirements sheet, technical standards of medicine sheet, and statement of acceptance sheet. </p>
<p>@ futuremedica…Haven’t decided on that yet, but it is definitely a program that I like a lot and would love to attend! Are you definitely going? :)</p>
<p>Accepted as well! Most probably will go, but I want to see all of my options here! :)</p>
<p>For those who did not get accepted, I would like to say something. In the long run, I think that it really doesn’t matter where you end up; after all, if you applied to these programs it probably means you WILL get accepted to medical school through the standard route. Good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>hmm… does anyone know if the presidential scholarship covers the meal plan too?</p>
<p>^ I believe it does. Check this link out (go to number 8)</p>

<p>B. Presidential Scholarship Dining Plans is the 250 Block Plan + 175 Dining Dollars.</p>
<p>Hope that helped :)</p>
<p>^Awesome, you rock! I want to share info with you guys (facebook, etc) if we all decide to go (just so that we will get to know each other a little before school starts), but I haven’t made my decision yet so I can’t say that I’ll be going for sure…I’m about 80% sure though :)</p>
<p>um, i’m not entirely 100% sure yet, but I feel like I’ll end up there! i’m still waiting to hear back from other places!
do all gmed students get presidential scholarships if they go in? because i currently have a provost one.</p>
<p>also, do you all know anyone else who has been accepted?</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure not everyone automatically gets the presidential scholarship. From my understanding, the scholarships aren’t really linked to the program, so whatever you get is whatever you get. And no, I haven’t heard of anyone else who’s been accepted. It would be nice to know though, because we could all become friends before the program starts.</p>
<p>So where are you guys coming from? I’m from California (a long journey I know).</p>
<p>okay, makes sense about the scholarship. figured i might as well ask!
i’m coming from va. i’m considering UVA, too</p>
<p>I’m from NY :)</p>
<p>Nice, so it seems like we’ll have a geographically diverse class then lol!</p>
<p>How much racial diversity is there?</p>
<p>According to collegeboard:
<1% American Indian/Alaskan Native
15% Asian/Pacific Islander
18% Black/Non-Hispanic
7% Hispanic
50% White/Non-Hispanic
2% Non-Resident Alien</p>
<p>Pretty diverse I suppose?</p>
<p>so post if/when you decide that you’re going to gmed for sure!</p>
<p>Yes, I am! PM me if you decide to go and we can meet up on facebook or something!</p>
<p>What are you guys (or gals) planning to major in?</p>
<p>Biology, just so that I can have a nice science background when I head off to med school… did you decide to go there?</p>
