Hey, don't worry, I'm having the same thoughts! And I'd venture to be others are too
 
I was notified at 2:30 pm the Monday after the admissions meeting on my cycle. They are usually pretty on the ball!
 
It may be too early to say this, but it leads me to believe we may not hear today. Not sure haha
 
Me all day, staring at inbox

They have probably sent the acceptances already,this thread is very small so idk if you can know just from sdn

But looking at past years threads shows that people posted offical acceptances at essentially all 3 cuts. @Pasmal , any word on what the status is?

I was referring to the second batch of 25 acceptances, there are forsure still more to go

Yeah I know, I just meant that it seems like every year there are people who post "accepted" on here when each batch goes out. There's always a chance that the 24-25 aren't on SDN, you're right. There's also a chance that the admissions committee could not meet on the 26th and possibly it's happening today or tomorrow. You never know.
 
My friend just informed me of an acceptance this morning so its possible the second batch was released this morning. But maybe they aren't all sent at the same time! Wishing all of you the best of luck!
 
So I guess it's safe to say the second batch has gone out. But let's not forget, that's only 48 out of the nearly 150 who will get acceptances. Also, if anyone turns down their acceptance between now and the third batch, or after, the next person on the AWPA rank gets that spot almost immediately. This really speeds up around mid April-May as the multiple accept deadline comes around, too.

So realistically, those of us here weren't in the top third of AWPA (and so what!), but we actually stand a better chance of being 1 of the remaining 100ish than we did of being 1 of the first 48. Best of luck to all. And it's not a matter of spots left, anyway. It's a matter of waiting

Who knows, emails may still be coming.

Alright thanks, yeah don't get too bummed if you didn't get your email today, as was said many more acceptances to come!
 
I received a piece of mail at my house (I'm away at school) from SIU. Anyone know what it is? I don't want my mom to open it in case it's a declination letter. I don't want to hear that over the phone! I'll be home Thursday, so I'll just have to wait.

Have you received an initial placement after your interview?! It could be that, which would be AWPA, ranked alternate, or rejection.

I haven't hear anything from my interview yet. So it's probably that! My mom says its a regular sized envelope, like 1 or 2 pieces of paper. Hoping for the best. Do they send AWPA by regular mail (not email)?

If you're invited for an interview, it's for a spot in the class. After you interview they will meet and compare you with all other applicants that month and make a decision for either AWPA, waitlist, or decline. You don't interview only for a waitlist spot, but it is possible to be put on the wait list after your interview. Good luck!
 
Quick Question. I am currently AWPA status. I was just wondering if SIU has sent out the second batch/wave of acceptances yet. I have found a page or two on the website stating they release the second batch in January, but I have also found multiple pages on the website stating that they release the second batch/wave of acceptances in February. Just wondering, has the second batch has gone out?

Everything we are able to gather here says they sent them out on 1/28 in the morning.
 
Now to patiently wait for the third batch to be sent out! Anyone know when that may be??

Correct - the second of the three big batch acceptances will be sent out at the end of this month, effectively filling 2/3 of 2016's entering class. Keep in mind positions move throughout the year as they interview more people and people confirm / deny seats. A decent amount of people in my class were notified as late as June last year that they were accepted. Lots of movement happens towards the end of April as the multiple acceptance deadline gets closer, so don't be too bummed if you don't get an official acceptance with this batch or the one in March as movement does happen pretty regularly in late April.

However, my class did NOT exhaust the AWPA list, meaning enough people accepted seats before getting to everyone on the AWPA list. AWPA means a pretty good chance of an acceptance but certainly not a guarantee. Good luck to everyone - waiting is the hardest part!

I received AWPA but my letter says that the next batch of acceptances won't be until February. Do you know around what time in February that they will be sending out the email? Thanks!

If it's the batch acceptance, which it could be if they moved up the date from March previous years, it would be toward the end of the month, usually between Thursday - Monday [25th - 29th] at any time of day.
 
As a heads up, next week is the final week of official tours, but Beth did note there are a few coming later in the spring that will have tours here and there. Good luck to all of you who have interviewed and toured thus far!
 
Was there not an AdCom meeting today? I interviewed last month and was told there would be a third meeting February 16.

Does that mean third batch has gone out? OR was this more of a halfway point meeting before March 8th...

Ugh...

I'm not sure if the third batch has gone out, I just know that the adcom met. Sorry I couldn't be of more help
