Not officially...but if you look down this thread, you'll see that they are now only scheduling from January 6th to February 28th. Presumably, they have filled all their slots in December, and I listed no dates later than December in my interview form. So I expect mine will be in December, either the 19th or the 23rd as those are the two dates I listed in December. Have you had yours yet?

Amazing, I hope it went well! I also picked the 15th as one of my dates...sadly, I didn't get that one. If you don't mind, could I message you privately and ask for more details to better help me prepare for mine?

yeah that’s fine !
 
Can anyone that's interviewed provide feedback on how it went? What kind of day was it?

Mine is on Thursday, I will provide feedback after I'm done

Feedback: I had a very positive experience! Know your application, know why you want to do medicine and how you'll fit their mission, and you'll do fine in your interviews. Student body seems very close-knit and supportive, the facilities are quite good, and you'll have access to almost every specialty at the two teaching hospitals, both of which are within walking distance of the Springfield campus. Students emphasized the support they've gotten, most lectures are optional, it is pass/fail, and everyone I talked to really liked the problem-based learning.

Sorry I’m confused, both the December AWPA and the December acceptances out of the AWPA pool were sent?

I received an AWPA In December. They might be still be sending those out I’m not for sure. I am 100% percent sure all the December acceptances were already sent out

I know they have 80 seats total, I have no idea how many of those are already filled
 
Any suggestions or resources to use when preparing for interviews? Thanks in advance!

I’m not sure about this month, but I emailed Beth recently and found out that the second batch of acceptances has been released (seems like it was in January). Hopefully we’ll hear some good news soon

So the February wave of acceptances have already all gone out?

Did Beth indicate if those acceptances might be going to students who interviewed in January too?

Not in the message I got- I sent an email to her on Sun 2/2 and received her message yesterday morning that said a second batch had gone out, no other info. It seems like a separate batch compared to the one cardiologybuff heard about, or maybe I am just cooked in particular. I hope you find the answer to that, and good luck!

I'll guess not, I would imagine that if you interviewed in January you'll be reviewed in early February by the committee and find out if you're APWA or not. After that there's the late February acceptances, and then another kinda rolling wave in March. From past data there's typically about 140 acceptances issued to get a class of 86. Yes I know that there's only 72 standard slots, the other 14 are 8 Lincoln Scholars slots and 6 MD/MPH 5-year slots).

Her reply to you is more recent than when she talked to me (I don't think you are cooked in particular!) I think it's common for them to give an estimate for when a batch is to come out and then they decide on sending them earlier. At least that's what happened with the first batch in December being sent out earlier.

Usually, at least from my understanding, the committee sits down and reviews applicants after the interview around 3 times each cycle. So, I think start of December, end of January, and then probably later February or start of March would be when I think they review. They also usually review everyone who has interviewed up until that point. If you interviewed in January and have not heard I would think you would be able to reach out. Or, if anyone remember what date Beth told you to be on the lookout for an email that might be helpful to. I interviewed in mid December and she told us the 31st of Jan we should get what list we are on. I also think they send 3 rounds of actual acceptances sometime after they place people in this list just chunking together about the top 30 each time. Atleast, this is kind of how I heard it goes. I was sort of in the same boat last year was on AWPA and never received a full acceptance after that. So, it is a big waiting game and hard to tell where you stand throughout the whole post interview process. If anyone has received an A after Jan 31st it would be helpful to know. Or if anyone interviewed mid January and remember when they were told they would hear back! Good luck everyone
 
i interviewed early january and we were told that they would have a meeting about us mid february and receive an email about our status a couple days later.
 
Does anyone know when the third batch will be sent out? I was told the final committee meeting is on March 4th, but I'm not sure if that means they're reviewing the AWPA list as a whole or just the applicants who recently interviewed.

Based on last year's SDN, the third batch went out after the committee meeting in early March. So I bet the last batch will go out after the March 4th meeting
 
Anyone still waiting to hear back after interviewing in December? Slightly getting nervous with all this waiting.
 
Interviewed mid-december, placed on AWPA on 1/30. Anyone know when the next batch of acceptances may be?
 
Have there been any acceptances so far for those on SDN? Also, received this email from Beth this Monday “The 2nd batch went out at the end of January. I will be sending out another few acceptances next week, and the 3rd batch will go out after our last Admissions Committee Meeting on March 4th.”
