Pre-II R- OOS
Sorry to hear that - can I ask if this was pre or post interview? Best of luck with the cycle.R just now
thanks! this was pre-IISorry to hear that - can I ask if this was pre or post interview? Best of luck with the cycle.
Are they focusing more on OOS than IS this year? Why is that?IS Pre II R. I guess it makes sense since they seem to be focusing more on OOS than IS this year...
Same here, interviewed October 24th.Is anyone who interviewed late Oct still waiting to hear back? Feels like an R since they're waiting so long...
Historically, what has been the timeline for Umass giving out the majority of its in-state regular acceptances (meaning not people who applied early decision/binding early, not PURCH, not MD/PhD, etc)?
I’m IS and got my decisions 4 weeks after my interview. I’m not sure how many applicants they accept and what the yield is, but right now the Facebook group has 175 members. Most look like they’re from MA.
may i ask what month you interviewed?
Do you know if all 175 are accepted students or are there also current students?I interviewed mid-December

Congrats on your A by the way!
Waitlisted just now. Interviewed 12/14 OOS.
I got it early January I think because of the holidaysDid you get the under consideration email 2 weeks after your interview?

Based on the number of students in the FB group I'm considering the possibility that theyre not sending out any more acceptances for the timebeingAny acceptances recently or just waitlists?

According to the MSAR they offer 75 waitlist positions and take 50 off of that, but I'm not sure how accurate that data is. In years past it looks like they offer positions to those waitlisted after April 30th, but I don't know how or if the new AAMC traffic rules will affect that. I think in general the waitlist movement is pretty good though.Can anyone shed some info on the waitlist? Chances/procedures/timeline?
Fo real?
There is absolutely no way to know. The above is all speculation. If they really like you when you interview, they will accept you at some point. They do have fewer open spots at this point, but most schools accept roughly double the incoming class size over the course of the app cycle. Acceptances will continue to stream out as applicants withdraw.Fo real?
i hope more spots do open! i read somewhere that umass tends to make a lot of their decisions in feb-march, so was really surprised to hear that there's already 100+ people in the groupThere is absolutely no way to know.

Or has anyone new been added to the FB group?Anyone hear any news today?
Radio silence for meAnyone hear any news today?
They only release decisions on Monday and FridayAnyone hear any news today?
based on the discussion about the FB group and ^waitlisted, class must already be full as of now..
The FB page is not necessarily a bad indicator given we are still months away from the April 30th deadline. I'd say it's actually pretty accurate for how many students they have admitted.This seems silly to me, why would they keep interviewing after they've filled the class? Also, I they accept at least 2-3x the amount of seats that are available over the course of the cycle (well over 175), since not everyone who is admitted will attend. The FB page is probably a bad indicator because people will probably stay in there even after the April 30th deadline
I think the general consensus is that no schools ever "interview for the waitlist" after a certain point, but maybe I'm just rationalizing because I had a January interview
That being said, UMass said they send out acceptances throughout March and April, so it's not like they're not sending any more out. They may just be waiting to see how many plan to enroll.The FB page is not necessarily a bad indicator given we are still months away from the April 30th deadline.

Hi! Congrats!! Would you mind sharing how you felt your interview day went? I'm trying to assess *in general* how important it is if one MMI station doesn't go so wellHi everyone. I was accepted yesterday, and this was my second application cycle. My main application was submitted May 31, and my secondary was done by July 10. I am IS, LizzyM 67, 3.63 GPA, 510 MCAT. I am currently taking one gap year to work in the medical field. Good luck to everyone!
Hi Angdctr,Hi! Congrats!! Would you mind sharing how you felt your interview day went? I'm trying to assess *in general* how important it is if one MMI station doesn't go so well
I'm in the same position- did you call/email them for a status update? I sent them an LOI but haven't heard anything since the initial "under active consideration" email and I'm considering doing just that.Anyone else tired of the "under active consideration" purgatory? 'cause it doesnt seem so active
They aren't going to say anything useful. I wouldn't bother calling. I did months ago and they said no decision means nothing has been decided yetI'm in the same position- did you call/email them for a status update?
