In terms of convenience, you can’t get any closer than Park South (coming from a local) and I do believe that it’s a popular spot for students. Farther away from campus you are definitely going to find cheaper options but possibly not in the greatest areas depending on where you are looking.

Do we think there will be any more AL list movement or is the class kind of full already?
There will be more movement over the next month+ because people don't have to make final decisions until 4/30 and even then they could get off another WL and decide to go somewhere else, opening up spots for AL -> A. 🙂

Adcom released me. Looks like they're cutting down their AL numbers since they interview 700+ people for 145 spots.
What? I thought it was 200 people. Then again, MSAR information is outdated as it says they take like ~30 people off waitlist.

Where did you hear 700 students?

That's what they said in their email, so I'd wager it's up to date. 750 interviewed, I don't know the II -> AL conversion rate.

Well, it looks like the statistics are not on our side.

EDIT: Brain freeze moment. I heard ~700 interviewed, ~200 AL. I mistook 700 interviewed for 700 AL.
Statistics are back on our side.

Just got the email requesting me to fill out the AL Response form if I am still wishing to remain on AL list or be removed! Literally nearly passed away when I saw an email from them. Good information on there though! Good luck to everyone on the list!
