I don't think they weight their acceptances by Interview or AWPA time, if that's what you're worried about there

Gotcha, have a feeling it’s time to move on to plan B this late in the cycle

that’s nice to hear, I sent an email a week ago about movement and I didn’t get a response :/

 

[SquirrellyScholar]

We know there's at least some movement. After all, two people in this thread got the A! (On that note, congrats folks I'm so envious ♥️)

I'm still prepping my reapp, but there's still a glimmer of hope.

Just got the A today! To everyone on AWPA: Don't lose hope! There is still time and I am rooting for you all.

I feel so bad for her having to put up with our anxious selves! Hope she gets a good break after the cycle is over, she deserves it

If anybody has the GroupMe for siu could you guys send it to me 😭

 

[SquirrellyScholar]

I notice the Facebook group is at 72, which is what the previous years are hovering at... Does that mean they're done? Or is there a shred of hope somewhere still?🥲

I am assuming/hoping that some people are still waiting to officially accept an acceptance.

 

[falafelfalafel]

Based off of previous Facebook group sizes I think it’s full now ;( twas a good run

Accepting an A from another school. Withdrawing my postion from awpa. Hopefully you guys get in 🙏

 

[Pre-med81]

I just got the A this morning! Good luck to everyone on AWPA! There is still movement, so don't give up hope😊

Anyone know if they have a matriculation drug screening test?

 

[SquirrellyScholar]

Anyone know if they have a matriculation drug screening test?

A cursory run research shows me their GME programs and residency programs require it, but I can't find anything for if there's anything for first years. Googling the question pulled up a previous thread from a prior year with a similar question, and they said there wasn't one in orientation materials

The TL;DR seems to be that you won't have one for pre-matriculation but will probably run into one eventually, if I'm reading this right.

I got accepted today! Only one of the cycle so its been a journey....to those still waiting I know its hard but best of luck and keep some hope!
