Application materials are provided electronically to admitted students and to all waitlisted admissions candidates. Returning students receive instructions via email.
Award Notification
Financial aid award decisions are made following the submission of all financial aid application materials by March 15. Award letters are emailed to first-year MD students on a rolling basis, beginning in late March. Award letter notifications are emailed to returning students in late June. Each award recipient is required to acknowledge the aid award within thirty days of receipt of the award electronically. Please see below for information on adjusting your financial aid award.
