<p>how does this work. i just got accepted to the undergrad after specifying premed in my application. The website said to be considered for the program you have to choose premed. am i being considered for the program and how long should i wait for 8 yr status and financial aid?</p>
<p>Call them. It might be Feb or it may be April.</p>
<p>if you just got accepted to the undergrad, you should receive a letter within a week or two (three is possible) whether your credentials (1450 SAT and top 1% of class) meet the requirement, after which they will let you know whether they have considered you for the program or not.</p>
<p>as for financial aid (such as scholarships) that will probably come around the same time as the 8-year med decision.</p>
<p>I got into Pitt in october, and by late october they told me about my financial aid (scholarships) and my candidacy for the BS/MD program.</p>
<p>as for decisions on the program itself, interviews are from march 2 to march 31st, and decisions will be made after that.</p>
<p>can you finish the program in fewer than 8 years?</p>
<p>it didn't state anywhere on their site (that I saw) that said one way or the other. I'm assuming you will be allowed to finish in less than 8 years, however.</p>
<p>It said, upon completion of your undergraduate degree</p>
<p>why do you want to rush</p>
<p>Already have 1 year of credit; kind of wasteful not to use it.</p>
<p>evil - i got a letter from pitt saying that i can call them to schedule a guaranteed admissions interview (sometime bw/ jan 8 and march something, i think)- but i called and they said they haven't started scheduling yet. Have you been able to set up an interview date?</p>
<p>mine said call AFTER jan 8</p>
<p>Meadle- I received a letter similar to that, except in october. they printed the wrong information on mine, we're supposed to call for an interview after january 8th.</p>
<p>Thanks:) I got mine in Oct. too, actually. I called them today and they told me they made a mistake on the letter - we probably got the same one, before they fixed it.</p>
<p>does anyone know the # of people every year that are invited to interview and accept the invite?</p>
<p>its pretty low. for both.</p>
<p>getting an interview is just a matter of the requirements. if you have them, you are pretty much guaranteed an interview.</p>
<p>for those who DID get an interview, how did you do in terms of scholarships? I personally got a full tuition scholarship, and applied for the chancellor's scholarship.</p>
<p>Evil: same here:)</p>
<p>awesome. i'm trying to see how likely it is that I get into the program (its my #1 choice for all colleges), and if there are lots of people that got the interview that didn't get a full scholarship, I have a better chance (at least I hope).</p>
<p>Here's to nailing the interview meadle, good luck to you</p>
<p>hell yeah, evil, you too:)</p>
did anyone make it in? I got accepted to their undergrad and got a full tuition scholarship
