Hey guys,
I'm a 1st year medical student at UMass this year, just joined SDN actually when directed towards this thread by a classmate. Just wanted to let you all know that hearing about acceptances could take a while.
A key point that kept me sane in my application process:
The waitlist is not a death sentence, especially at UMass. I interviewed September 29th with 4 of my current classmates. By April we all received a waitlist notification, and by May 18th we all got in. If you do a poll of my classmates, a little over half of us got in off the waitlist, so no worries! UMass only accepts 125 students at a time, and some people are actually clinically insane and turn UMass down for far more expensive schools.
If you have any questions, ill be checking this thread whenever I'm bored in class. Oh and Dr. Dashwood, congratulations! Definitely go on MOE in August, I'll be there!
Do you know anything about the interview selection process? I've been complete since end of July, but no word at all. 🙁 Have I been passed over? Are they receptive to update letters or letters of interest?
