If you're looking for housing close to campus, there should be plenty of openings considering that the M4s are graduating next month (they should have turned in their move out notices by now). Have you looked at Redgate apts, Belmont at Freemason apts, or Ghent on the Square apts? (There's also Hague Park and Pembroke apts which are more affordable but not as nice; a lot of EVMS students live in those two places bc they're right across the street. I'd recommend Hague Club apts since that's EVMS housing but no pets are allowed.) Alternatively, you can try your luck by posting on our EVMS Marketplace fb group EVMS Marketplace (also bonus bc a lot of M4s will very soon be trying to sell all their furniture).

I have two pets , one of them is 50 pounds , so that narrows down options , but basically my plan is to go through every single place . I am making a spreadsheet:) ( love spreadsheets , especially when they are color coded ).

Definitely check out the EVMS class of 2023 page. Lots of M3s and M4s are posting about available rooms in their places. I actually have already signed a lease!

Oh I am planning to live alone. I have two animals , my boyfriend will visit all the time , and I like my privacy. So the Facebook group won’t help me much for that . Someone did post the areas that are safe though and I did find that very helpful
 
For those matriculating in EVMS and looking for laptops : website is wrong . It says that windows 10 isn’t supported . I called the computer support in EVMS and they said that that page isn’t updated . They said any laptop with windows 10, and at least 8GB of RAM will be fine

Wow I it blows my mind that you were waitlisted. Is this your top choice?

My interview here wasn’t my strongest so that’s probably why lol. And no, I actually just got into my top choice yesterday so I’ll be withdrawing my offer here. But EVMS seems like a great school and it was definitely towards the top of my list!

yes, me too!! i am really grateful for this opportunity, - to become a doctor, and to do it in my top choice school. I imagine this is how getting married to a person you love must feel like (hahahha this should REALLY explain the state of my personal life at the moment). i just really want more people from SDN to get a chance to feel how we feel very soon.

A huge relief for sure. IS, top tier, cGPA 3.65, MCAT 517. Also white male if that matters to anyone.

And to add to the question above. What did you change in between cycles?

Retook the MCAT (previous score was a 510), did 40 hours of MD shadowing, became EMT-B certified, joined an all-volunteer rescue squad (48 hours per month), continued my undergraduate research project, and worked at UVA as an ED Tech.

Okay I need all you 3.6+ GPA and 512+ people to hurry up and be accepted so we can get to the mid tier people haha. If I don’t hear soon I’ll have to move away and be unable to go if I get accepted in July. I know this seems like a dumb problem, but life’s good other wise

I’m in the exact same position. Will have to move to the other side of the country in July if I don’t get accepted off the middle tier.

Congratulations man, and I'm glad it's all over for you after two cycles and thousands of dollars. Thanks for including you're white just since one of the evms M3s said they pull off the waitlist in general order of tiers but go for similar demographics to the person who declined the acceptance. In the future if others accepted off the WL could include demographic info (if they don't mind) with their stats, that'd be awesome.
