Are you referring to the OH schools?
SMP was done in OH, and I will be staying in the state for the upcoming cycle year. Does that make a diff?
For Kaiser, I had them on my original draft but was concerned I might not be competitive for their admissions. Do you have any thoughts on that?

You could apply to the Ohio schools since you have a connection to the state. Kaiser may be less competitive. Are they still offering free tuition for the class entering in 2025 ?

 

[Mr.Smile12]

Any linkages? What suggestions did your SMP faculty give you on possible schools or on your current list?

I believe yes, this will be the last class to offer free tuition

Linkage for interview to SMP. They thought the list was sound, didn't mention additional possible schools when we last spoke but I will probably do another check in I finish a couple more finals

Officially, their website says tuition free only for classes entering up to 2024, so if you're applying this cycle you would hypothetically be entering 2025, so just missed the cutoff

oh jeez I see that now. I think the confusion was "first 5 cohorts" and "starting in 2020". obviously that means 2020-2025 haha (it does not).

Thank you for that clarification!
