Hi everyone! Wanted to start this conversation for those who are getting ready to apply once the application opens on June 1st 2021.
I am hoping we can all share information, ask questions, and support each other throughout the exciting journey ahead!

I don't have anything in my portal but I also didn't know all the forms had to be filled out, oops!

I am super late to this thread, and also I can't seem to join the facebook group... But I also applied to multiple schools. I am interviewing for UCSF, I interviewed for OHSU and was accepted into UPenn as well as Yale. If other folks are in the same boat I would really love to talk to you! I am debating asking Yale to extend my decision timeline but I'm not sure if they would allow that. What are other folks thinking of doing?
Also I'm from California/Bay Area so for folks thinking about moving out to the east coast I would also love to chat.
Can you ask for an extension on something like this? I am waiting to hear from Vanderbilt and also need an extension.
Just now, HaleyKR said:Would anyone who received a letter in their portal tonight and got an aid award be willing to say how much they got? I don't even have an idea about how much it might be but really wanted to know so I can make a decision next week.
My "awards" were all loans. I do believe they are including any merit or need-based aid in the letter, because it laid out cost of attendance, EFC and then how you will pay for it.

I received a letter and it states a need based scholarship of 12,336.
