Does Umass allow you to take notes on the prompt so you remember all the points you want to make?

Dude just go and interview. You will be FINE! 🙂

 

[pinstriped1992]

Does anyone know how receptive Umass is to letters of intent post interview but prior to any decision?

 

[Brome1993]

Has anyone post 1/21 heard?

 

[doglover2020]

Do we know if umass will be making decisions by March 31? I thought I remember that date being said at the interview day but last years thread shows decisions happening in April...

I think I remember them saying we would hear something about our status by the end of April, but March would be sweet!

I really hope we hear back with positive news soon. I already know someone who got accepted so I'm curious how many spots are left

Yes, they give you note cards and a pen

 

[mary3x]

So if we don't know by now we're basically rejected right?

 

[tick_tock_tick_tock]

So if we don't know by now we're basically rejected right?

Post, II, absolutely not. Look at the posts above this... UMass is slow to give acceptances, and they're also very conservative as they cannot go over the set number of students per class. There are current students at UMass who did not hear back until April/May.

Pre-II, it's still possible. I know for a fact there was an interview day last week. It's not over yet!

 

[scout1992]

Have any February interviewees heard back yet?

 

[RedSox143]

Have any mid December interviews heard back?

 

[121313]

Have any mid December interviews heard back?

Not yet...

 

[Hera A]

I interviewed in early October and haven't heard back yet...IS too

What day did you interview in Feb?

 

[KatniP]

Does Umass allow you to take notes on the prompt so you remember all the points you want to make?

Yes, they give you notecards! I actually forgot my notecards AFTER the first station started, literally panicked and asked the moderator for notecards and he handed me a stack xD

 

[awd222]

Sorry to be all over this forum, but UMass is my absolute top school and the waiting game is killing me! Has anyone who interviewed in Feb received any decisions yet? (aka, has anyone gotten any notification of their status since Feb 18th?!)

Looks like umass does decisions on the 3rd Friday or every month so today should be another decision date!

I hope it's today too, but today is also match day. So if nothing comes today maybe they were just busy- thinking positive!!!🙂

Edit: no they definitely weren't too busy whoa

 

[babz]

ACCEPTED JUST NOW BY EMAIL, WAHOOOOO

 

[BuckinghamPalace]

[pinstriped1992]

ACCEPTED JUST NOW BY EMAIL, OOS WAHOOOOOO

Accepted!

Congrats! Did it update for you guys on portal?

 

[scout1992]

Accepted!!!!!!

 

[DrSponge]

Accepted!

 

[AlwaysSkiDown]

For those of you accepted today, when did you interview?

 

[oaktreegelbs]

I'm quite frustrated at this point so I just want to see what people think. I have a 3.97 gap, 38 mcat, and B level EC's ( no real research/lab experience other than coursework though). What are possible reasons I am not being accepted?

 

[VikingMetal1991]

for my application's sake, I'm going to bite my tongue...but trust me...I am EXTREMELY frustrated as well

 

[xsxoxfx7]

same...I've never heard of a school making people wait this long. I thought being an alumni might help but apparently not.

Did you get accepted as well? (I didn't get a decision email, just curious). Sending out good vibes to all of you feeling as blah as I do right now

I've been waiting since September and have heard nothing. I think I'm destined for the waitlist pile or reject.

 

[theguardsman]

Was really hoping to hear today 🤔

 

[awd222]

lol rephrase to "was really hoping to hear I got accepted today" because I would literally do anything to go to UMass

 

[Mr. Shelby]

I wish. I didn't get any emails and my portal is still the same 🙁

 

[MPHMD2014]

Does anyone know when is the absolute latest the school has to get back to you by if you interviewed?

 

[LunaBoona]

The day before classes begin in August 🙁

 

[awd222]

anybody heard anything since last Friday?

 

[LuluLovesMe]

Interviewed back in November. Accepted today. I'm declining but good luck to the rest!

Wow I guess there's still hope for early interviewers. I interviewed in September and haven't heard anything.

Curious. OOS or IS?

 

[PalmarisUseless]

Here's what you guys have to look forward to. All four years are exactly like this, or so I'm told.

 

[scout1992]

For those who have been accepted + paid the deposit, is this what your portal looks like? (Unsure why there's a green circle instead of a checkmark in the first part- but pretty sure I'm being crazy neurotic)

Haha you're good. The circle just indicates that you completed the secondary application.

 

[Non nobis Domine]

Just curious, does anyone know when students typically take their Step 2 exams at UMMS? i.e. At the end of M3 or M4? Thanks!

 

[awd222]

Anybody have any tips for an applicant post-interview really hoping for some UMass love? My stats are pretty standard for them, ECs are great, and I thought the interview went really well. UMass is my dream school 🙁

 

[Veritas2016]

@Non nobis Domine it's usually at the end of M3 year.

@awd222 and all others waiting, it was a difficult decision but I've turned down my UMASS offer so that means one more spot for someone on this thread~!

 

[LunaBoona]

Has anyone been accepted, WL, or rejected today? I must have refreshed the student center page at least 100 times already...

 

[Blackhawk101]

Waitlisted on 3/25...UMMS is known for having a pretty active WL, right? Well, either way, I'm gonna try my best to convince my mind that they do.

 

[RedSox143]

Does anyone know how receptive Umass is to letters of intent post interview but prior to any decision?

Bump, post interview now almost 4 months and nothing... when will it end so I know if I need to pay my deposits at other schools

 

[Blackhawk101]

Accepted today off the waitlist
