Hey everyone. I am new to SDN but I have been following this thread for a while and I thought I would create an account give you all an update. My best friend (who I have been applying with this whole cycle) got an acceptance email last week on Wednesday, March 11, 2020. I still haven't heard anything back myself yet
.
From what I gather from last year's thread, we are now at the phase where we have to wait until around decision day in April since last week was the last batch to "fill the class." However, from last year's thread, they did sprinkle some acceptances from now till then, but not a lot. And although people were expecting a lot of movement off of the AWPA list from May to July, that didn't necessarily happen and only a few more people were moved off of the list. According to last year's thread, 140-150 people are put on the AWPA, but only 125 people were given acceptance to fill a class of 72 which was low from previous years.
I haven't called SIU or Beth to verify any of this info. This is solely from reading through last year's thread. I also have no idea how COVID-19 is impacting our status and the delivery of our acceptances. However, this process has been really brutal on my mental health especially since I am still waiting for my first acceptance. I just couldn't stand seeing you all waiting for an update while I was holding all that info.
