Hi everyone. Got my call on Thursday, exactly a week from the interview and couldn't be happier! I think reality is finally kicking in and I am getting concerned about the short prep time!
Is everyone all set with financial aid? I tried to prequal for the Grad PLUS on SallieMae's site but Ross is not even listed among the schools. Anyone know about this? I plan on calling the FinAid office Monday but was attempting to be proactive. Thanks for input.
Congrats to you all.

I was accepted this past week for May '08, interviewed 3/5 in Irvine. Graduated UCLA '07 w/ a 3.26 and 34 on the MCAT. 1 yr clinical internship at UCLA med center, 1 job at USC hospital, 1 current job at nursing home in torrance CA. Didn't apply to enough US schools and haven't gotten a response from anyone yet (still waiting on Loma Linda and Univ of Rochester but it's mid-march and I gave up a while ago). Haven't paid the $1000 deposit yet but probably will soon. I figure Ross and Dominica will be a great time though. Haven't received the welcome packet yet. Anyway, can't wait to get to know the rest of you.

One question: on the pre-registration it's asking for Lender info and i don't have one yet since this is all last minute. Just filled out the Fasfa last night (3/15). Any advice? I'll probably head out of LAX a few days early but not too soon because I'm not lookin forward to sayin bye to my girlfriend. I'd be interested in havin the same flights as some ppl, let me know what dates you're all leavin.
