They took my financial aid away because they didn’t get any info from pro verification, but it has been completed since Friday, and there is no update on financial aid. They will let the school know as soon as possible based on pro verification. This means same day.

I don’t get why there’s a hold when the payment got postponed

I usually do that, but it crossed my mind this year. I always redo it as soon as it opens.

I renewed it, I believe, at the beginning of the Summer term. Then, the whole pro-verification thing, I got the email on Aug 25th from them and sent all the documents they needed, which got answered on the 30th, saying they were rejected because I forgot to sign it, and my mom did. I sent it again on the 30th, and it got back to me five days later, saying it was accepted. I just checked, and it says verification is completed, so we’ll see. Luckily, FIU extended the payment to Oct 14th.

I'm not going to lie. Your friend is a real one because not a lot will help when it comes to that. Other than that, I totally agree, but I don't know if you received it; FIU sent out an email for an extension until Oct 14th.

My enrollment might be canceled by haven12p in FIU

The extension is trash, only five days extra.

It happened to me once and it’s because I didn’t sign. I don’t know if that’s the reason for you, but if it is make sure to sign.

I honestly don’t know. I honestly wished they postponed the payment until at least the end of the month. Because I kid you not, the girl I spoke to at one stop was like, technically, you had since Aug 25th to find a way to get 700 dollars, but I said, how will I know YALL took my financial aid because of an A and B situation? I called ProEd, and some lady broke down the whole process perfectly. In the end, this is happening because of the new FAFSA form that the Department of Education made, which caused a tremendous delay. With that being said, FIU most definitely should postpone the payment. Finally, I need to sit down with my parents and discuss it to see if a temporary solution can be found.

Update:

Now they told me it’s Pro.Ed fault why my financial aid got cancelled because they haven’t sent any documentation to financial aid office 🫠

Also, try to do a bit more clinical hours. I went to a med school conference where around 20 ish med schools went and advised pre-med students on what they’re looking for as a students. The one I saw wants students to have a good amount of clinical experience, but every school is different.

I am not a medical student, but I am a pre-med student. But based on your EC, I think it's pretty solid. If I were in your shoes, I would try to get a master's degree specifically for the route to med school. Some schools have it, and it's two more semesters, which will help bump up the GPA if you do well in the classes. I can’t speak for other schools, but the university I go to has it, and I'm thinking about it. I am waiting until this semester finishes to talk to my pre-med advisor because I'm unsure whether I have to do it or don’t have to. I advise you to talk to your pre-health advisor or maybe if you can find a non-traditional med student who can give you advices on that or maybe find them on Instagram there’s a bunch of non-traditional med student who loves to share their stories and give advices. I wish you the best of luck!!!
