Did anyone sign up for the student insurance? It's confusing. I filled out the form and sent it in because the deadline says august 15. But I didn't hear back
So I called them and they told me you sign up during orientation which for us is early September.
So confusing!
-
Congrats! Whereabouts? I'll be living in Washington Heights neighborhood by Columbia Presbyterian Hospital.
In upper east! Like a 15 min walk to Sinai!! So excited
-
Pretty sure I found a solid apartment in Manhattan and stayed in budget! Praise the lord!!
-
Also, does anyone know when we should be receiving the loan money?
Its always like a week after classes start
-
Yes, I've found the same price range. However, even if I am able to afford that. Most brokers ask that you make 40 times the rent price.
Also, does anyone knows if there's a deadline to accept your financial aid package?
I think the proof of financial aid suffices for the 40x rent. Technically for this prupose, it is "income"
I think the deadline is Aug 15. So def sign your MPN and stuff and send it to them
PS APT HUNTING SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was shooting for a studio as well, but haven't been very successful landing anything yet so I'm open to more options. Everything is just so expensive though!
Classes usually start after 4. I was looking at the schedule from last year and there's generally two star times (4 PM and 5:30 PM).
Good luck with your apartment and job hunting!!
Are you a guy or girl? Also did anyone join that Facebook group?

Now that everybody got their financial aid and are for sure attending ISMMS this fall is anyone looking for a roommate or had found a place yet?
Haven't found a place yet. Honestly I'm really trying for a studio but maybe I'd consider a roommate if I had to. I have personal space issues from past experiences lol
I have a question though. Does anyone know what time during the day classes are? I am trying to get a job and need to consider what time class would be.
I've heard they are during the afternoon, allowing students to work. Hopefully I can get a job where I can work 10-4 and then go to class

Yesterday I got an email saying it will be in mid-July. Today (July 1) I got the award letter. It's a little frustrating how unorganized they are. But I kinda understand, it's a small, new program. I guess they have some kinks to work out.
Does anyone know how much tuition actually is per credit? According to their website, last year's incoming class paid $900/credit, I don't know if this has gone up or not. Anyway, at 42 credits in the program, this totals around $37,800, right? Stafford should cover what I need nicely, in addition to my personal contributions.
Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with this. Seems reasonable, even for living in New York.
Damn, guys. This is really happening. Moving out of California to New York.....
Yeah its 900. 21 credits per year so 18,900 per year tuition. My loan budget is like $42,000 for the year so they are quite generous. They must be taking into account how expensive rent is! I am going to start applying for jobs soon so I can contriubte as much as I can and not have to use my whole loan budget
-
Email and I'm doing both. Stafford covers a reasonable portion though. Overall, I'm very happy with the aid.
cool im doing all gradplus as ive used up all my stafford in undergrad
-
I just got my award letter as well. I still think they're unorganized though
email or post mail? And are you doing stafford or grad plus?
-
What? I just received an email saying that I will be getting my award letter in mid-July...now I'm kinda anxious.
I think they are just really unorganized. You might have to call a lot and hassle them like I did to get it faster lol
-
Did you get it through email or in the mail?
Email
-
finally got the award letter and SHEESH the cost of attendance is even higher than I thought it would be
-
I am a little confused about the student health forms. When are they due? It says here that they are due August 15: http://mssmenrollment.com/before-you-arrive-mp/
but on another form it says July 1???
Also, I never got any confirmation that they got my toxicology results, and I took that over a month ago
Ps, still no financial aid award letter
-
Still waiting on my award letter before finding a place. Are you guys getting the gradplus or stafford or both? I am doing gradplus only (maxed stafford in undergrad) and was wondering if it covers the full cost of attendance?
-
Yeah pretty much, however it will depend on what FAFSA says you're eligible for as well. I have not gotten an official letter yet, but a rough draft of what my award would look like.
who do i get in touch with to get that? I was under the impression they would be sending all that info by now
-
Yup I got the same response. He even sent me a pdf of the approximate expenditure and what the loans would cover per term.
So the loans will pretty much cover everything? and when do we get the actual award letter in the mail?
-
I hear ethanol has scholarships for all types of programs. It won't help you pay for the whole thing, but it certainly takes the edge off.
-
well ive reached the conclusion that these dont exist! lol
-
anyone know when this month we can expect to hear back about financial aid??? Kinda need to know that info to find an apt lol
-
I'm on NYU's waitlist but I'm probably not gonna go with them, I've decided on Mt Sinai
-
also, does anyone wanna make a facebook group? So we can help each other along the moving process
-
Did you try getting that info retrieve from your medical records at your doctor's office? Schools usually share vaccine records with your PCP's office (at least mine did)
I dont have a regular PCP that I visit. I literally only go to the doctors office to get physicals lol. And Im not on my parents insurance, I usually have insurance through school but im not in school atm. So any current doc visits are out of pocket

trying to get my medical/vaccination history from my undergrad school has been a bitch ugh
