Thread for BSMD 2020-2021 Applicants (Part 1)

@mygrad2021

From Common App:
You can remove a school by clicking the X icon on the school name line on the Dashboard . However, a school cannot be removed from your list once the application has been submitted. You can re-add any school you’ve removed by searching for and adding the school again."

Thanks @ttb1263! Is it ok to try? So you’re saying even though she is no longer interested/withdrawn she cannot remove. Even if you remove, you can only add the same school again?

It doesn’t hurt to try since you want to remove them from the list anyway. I think the limit is 20, so I assume you can add schools up to that limit. If all fail, you can also apply to school specific app or Coalition app.

Has anyone heard from SLU about Medical Scholars or Presidential Scholarship ?

Congratulations! You are OOS?

Thanks!

My D received vice presidential scholarship but no word on Medical Scholars yet.

Med Scholars comes out much later because there is no interview. It comes out during the time of regular admissions.

Thanks!

Pitt is done; emailed them today and confirmed rejection

@Yashi123: Its too early for both of them at SLU. We should only look out for them in late Jan / Feb timeframe I believe. Did you get any merit award ?

@mygrad2021: Congratulations on your D’s vice presidential scholarship. What is the award amount for VP scholarship?

However, there are a few special scholarships that one can apply at SLU apart from the merit awards. One of them is full tuition presidential award for which applications were due on Dec 1st. That’s the one Yashi123 is inquiring, I guess.

Sorry to hear about this. Did the portal change for you ? what does your plan/major show in the portal.

No, still says pre-medicine

This is not fair to students. They should allow students to pick schools. My son is going to get very upset about this

Same for us. I just talked to the Admission Officer, My son did not make it either. No official information though.

Same here. We are out too.

Thanks! It’s $25000/year.

Congratulations !!. Anyone else received it ?

Anyone have breakdown of Rutgers/NJMS numbers from previous years ?

I understand. They should have made it clear. Its necessary for Upstate program to do that as there are 10+ feeder schools in the mix and the tuition range from 8k+ to 54k+

Only want to apply for the feeders that you will be happy to attend if made into Upstate. Problem is that they did NOT make it very clear on their website.
