Congrats! Would you mind posting your stats. Just want to know if I have a shot of getting off the waitlist

Congrats! Are you still considering, or are you sure about going? Also, how much time do they give you to decide?
trailhead, you will receive a welcome package that gives you instructions about financial aid workshops which are held in new york. I am in LA so I had to make a phone call interview with Ira Rosenfeld (info is all in the package). It's mostly him explaining that we don't really get any grants, just loans, the nitty gritty details of applying for loans, budgeting it, and repayment plans, and stuff like that. Phone interview was about an hour long.
I have an acceptance here stateside (DO) so I have some real thinking to do. I'll almost certainly go to Sackler though. The letter states they want you to respond within one week confirming your intent to attend (and need to send $100 deposit).
I just gave up my spot...hopefully this helps one of you.
Good luck and don't lose hope!
Lowdy -- If theres one thing I learned while being in Israel, it's never take no for an answer! Just explain your circumstance. Maybe you can get a letter from your advisor saying your graduation/completion is in order, etc.
thanks. i sent an email to the office stating my issue and that after meeting with the dean from my undergrad uni, he is fully willing to write a letter saying i am done. i just hope sackler wont be hard asses about this
Just got a rejection off the waitlist - good luck to everyone still waiting to hear back. To all those accepted have a wonderful time!
Did you get an email or letter? Sorry you didnt get in

Okay...I got a few acceptances in the U.S (DO) already, but just recently heard of Sackler. Loved isreal when I went as member of US team during maccabiah games....would be an awesome place to spend a couple of years in. Is it far too late to apply?? I feel like it is but if there's any hope i think I might want to give it a shot
Oh geeze just saw the 2016 part and thought this was referring to this cycle, my bad haha. Anyway thanks and good luck to ya!This is a really old thread lol. Its not too late to apply, they usually dont make decisions until March/April. I'm interviewing next week, and I also would love to attend.

If you have the finances, like Israel, nothing wrong with choosing Sackler. I've heard they are still quite competitive and match well.
correct me if I'm wrong, but you are eligible for federal loans by going to Sackler and their tuition is around 40,000 per year which is in line with many US schools, so finance wise it seems like a wash, unless you get into a state school which would be a no brainer.
