I just got an email that all of the immediate acceptances have been sent out and everyone still on the AWPA list will have to wait for someone to decline a seat. Trying to stay hopeful- I’ve been AWPA since January🤞🏻

Sun Valley does interest me, but it seems to be the most expensive option... something like $875 a month + around $200 worth of utilities + not furnished. Is there anything you have found to bring this cost down??Hi! M1 here. I'm so excited for you all. I saw a post about leases and just wanted to say that I would highly recommend Sun Valley
They have raised prices. I pay $780/month and my utilities have never been more than $125-140 excluding WiFi. I like it because it’s clean, quiet (no undergrads live here), the apartments are nice and bright, and maintenance is good. I tend to study at home probably 95% of the time so having a place that is conducive to that was important to me.Sun Valley does interest me, but it seems to be the most expensive option... something like $875 a month + around $200 worth of utilities + not furnished.

Hey! I live at Sun Valley right now too. Rent is actually increasing by like 72 dollars sadly, but I am choosing to stay and I'll be living alone. Since I'm in the MD/MPH program I'll be in your class and starting med school in august. One thing to note is that sun valley is expensive, but feels really safe and is super quiet. I've had noise issues in every apartment I've lived in (which is a lot) except for Sun Valley. there's little traffic on this part of town so it feels more residential and there's also a fancy neighborhood next door that's great for walking or jogging. To me, having the peace and quiet (and "nicer" apartment) is worth tacking on the extra loans.Sun Valley does interest me, but it seems to be the most expensive option... something like $875 a month + around $200 worth of utilities + not furnished.

To add to this, if noise doesn't bother you and safety isn't a priority, then it probably isn't worth the extra rent. I am a woman and have a dog that I have to walk at night, so I definitely take that into consideration! The apartment is nice and the bedrooms are huge, but it's not worth the price tag for that in itself.Hey! I live at Sun Valley right now too.

Interesting. I thought that nearly 70-85 percent get of AWPA. Is this true, even after the 3rd Acceptance Batch has gone out in March?Any new news for anyone? I interviewed Jan 10th and been on AWPA since Feb. I’m starting to lose hope :/ Thought interview went super well
They claim that around April 30th and May there is a lot of movement on the AWPA list, but it’s hard to be optimisticInteresting. I thought that nearly 70-85 percent get of AWPA. Is this true, even after the 3rd Acceptance Batch has gone out in March?
Unfortunately, noAnybody hear of any movement still on awpa :/
I’m also still on AWPAUnfortunately, no
Congratulations!Accepted! AWPA from December
Congrats!!! Were you silent in your communication since December? A cont. interest letter or a Letter of Intent sent? Would it be helpful for others this year or next? Again Congratulations!Accepted! AWPA from December
Only emails that were sent were in regards to the admission process.Congrats!!! Were you silent in your communication since December? A cont. interest letter or a Letter of Intent sent? Would it be helpful for others this year or next? Again Congratulations!
That is so great. I assume that they knew you were interested by your admissions questions?!! How long ago did you email them a question? Not asking for specifics, but am curious if timing of your continued interest played a factor. Congratulations on YOUR accomplishment, you earned it!Only emails that were sent were in regards to the admission process.
Not yet. I just got an email reminder about the Lincoln Scholars program but nothing about regular admissions.Anyone hear anything for the April 30th movement on WL?
I’m hoping so! I’m getting exhausted of all this waiting :/ All we can do it wait and hope.Should we expect AWPA movement anytime now?
I fr feel like its one of those years where there is no movement at allI’m hoping so! I’m getting exhausted of all this waiting :/ All we can do it wait and hope.
I'm currently looking at Sun Valley (now known as Storyboard on Black Diamond). Do you know if their apartments come furnished and if so, do you have any suggestions on what else we should bring or provide? Thank you!Hey! I live at Sun Valley right now too.

They are not furnished. I know this through applying for a room there myself.I'm currently looking at Sun Valley (now known as Storyboard on Black Diamond). Do you know if their apartments come furnished and if so, do you have any suggestions on what else we should bring or provide? Thank you!
There is on Facebook. Search for Class of 2027 SIU SOM and request to join. There’s some helpful information on housing and the area.Is there an accepted student group? I paid the deposit and sent all my FAFSA stuff in, but still haven't received further emails
Hey, so I remember on my interview day Beth said that people usually do not make it off the ranked alternate list (not to crush your spirits, just what I was told). Generally, acceptances are only drawn from the AWPA list. However, in the class Facebook group there are 65 members currently. Unless other admits have not yet joined the page, I would say there are still around 15 seats left. Best of luck!Do we know if the ranked alternate list is moving or will move?
Congratulations! Did you get the news today?Got accepted ! Who’s all staying at evolve
