FYI, per Beth 3rd batch will go out after adcom meeting currently scheduled for 3/6/18.
Thanks for the information and for all of your assistance! Quick question: I know that after the first batch, a few acceptances went out, but not in an official "batch". Does this typically happen, or will the next acceptances more than likely be made in the beginning of March?FYI, per Beth 3rd batch will go out after adcom meeting currently scheduled for 3/6/18.
So If I haven't received anything in the mail from the 1/23 meeting, I probably wasn't put on AWPA list?About 5-10 business days after their monthly meeting.
They should at least send something in regards to your status after their meeting - if you haven't heard anything at all please feel free to call the admissions office at (217) 545-6013 to ask about your status. If your interview was close to their meeting date, it is possible your file will not be discussed until the February meeting as well.So If I haven't received anything in the mail from the 1/23 meeting, I probably wasn't put on AWPA list?
It's impossible to say exactly as it usually depends on the amount of people that have accepted their acceptance vs declined their acceptance. The March batch is, based on the past few years, a full batch. Acceptances slow down between the final batch and the multiple acceptance deadline, then pick back up a couple weeks after the deadline through the beginning of early summer.Thanks for the information and for all of your assistance!

I interviewed middle of December. I guess if I don’t get anything in the mail by Monday.

MS1 here that still trolls SDN every now and then lol if anyone has any questions about first year let me know!
Do you know if SIU gives a lot of (or any) merit scholarships? I've heard some conflicting things. If so, when does it usually happen? Sorry, my question wasn't specifically about first year. Thanks!MS1 here that still trolls SDN every now and then lol if anyone has any questions about first year let me know!
Very rarely. The only ones I have seen during my four years are need-based or only for specific students who qualify. The financial aid office usually sends out e-mails a few weeks before each semester with lists of available scholarships you can apply for.Do you know if SIU gives a lot of (or any) merit scholarships?

What’s student life like down in Carbondale during first year? Does the class get to know each other? What do people do for fun? Where do people generally live? Etc.

Most lectures are optional - some are required. The required ones are mainly doctoring curriculum or if there are guest lecturers.Thanks for your answer to my first question! Can you also talk about a typical day regarding lectures/PBL is? When, how often, and how long is PBL/lectures? Lectures are not mandatory, correct?
Most lectures are optional - some are required. The required ones are mainly doctoring curriculum or if there are guest lecturers.
During first year, PBL is 3 hours a day 3 times a week, usually 8am - 11am M, W, F with lectures in the afternoon after a lunch break. Tuesdays and Thursdays are lecture days and usually when doctoring curriculum is held.
During second year, PBL is 2 hours a day 2 times a week, with times that are scheduled individually per group. Lectures are generally a few every day.
Almost everyone goes to the first few lectures, especially if it is a new instructor to see if they like the style. Otherwise, slides / PDF are posted online after the lecture and almost all are audio recorded that you can listen to online at your convenience.
I feel this so muchThis March batch is coming up soon.... I love SIU, and am really hoping for some love! Best of luck to everyone who is waiting on the AWPA list with me - I hope we receive some good news in the near future!

Nothing here :/Any A's today boys?
I only asked about acceptance emails.The acceptance emails or the AWPA notification for the meeting today or both?
Hello! I got in touch with Beth from admissions this morning and she said both Acceptances and AWPA e-mails will be sent by the end of this week, so you can expect e-mails Thursday / Friday in regards to all acceptances with the last batch and all AWPAs through their meeting yesterday.The acceptance emails or the AWPA notification for the meeting today or both?

Keep in mind although this is the final batch of acceptances, more acceptances are sent out on a rolling basis as others who are holding their spots decline if they decide to attend a different school. Movement down the acceptance list can be slow starting out, but picks up as it gets closer to the multi-accept deadline.
They usually aim for ~75 students for the entering class, and in past years has been about ~150 total acceptances to fill the class.
Best of luck to everyone!
It's usually ~25 students per batch, so ~75 after this batch. Unfortunately they do not share the exact numbers, but that's been the averages over the past years.Thanks! Do you know approximately how many people have been accepted thus far?
Are interviews over with then? Do you know approximately how many people interviewed?It's usually ~25 students per batch, so ~75 after this batch. Unfortunately they do not share the exact numbers, but that's been the averages over the past years.
Interviews generally go through the multiple accept deadline or a couple weeks before .They don't give out the total # either but from anecdotes and past years it seems to be 300-400 total interviewsAre interviews over with then? Do you know approximately how many people interviewed?
