I and other people on this thread haven’t heard yet, sdn is also a small portion of applicants. Some people get the A after two weeks and some get an R but based on months prior in this thread and last year, most people get active consideration after 2 weeks and hear later in the cycle

Yeah I'm waiting as well from end of Jan. It feels doomed at this point things are going to be even slower now with Covid19 the committee is not going to want to meet probably haha
 
I interviewed Jan 10 and still have not heard. AC ~2 weeks after. Really trying to not loose hope (and my mind)

I interviewed in October, and there are some that interviewed in September/August. You are no more doomed than the rest of us. Let’s save our stress for Friday’s haha
 
got the WL today. interviewed mid jan. I know it isnt an R, but i’m still really sad about it
 
I have just been waitlisted as well. Hoping for the best from here.

Honestly, WL at this school is closer to an A than an R based on yields...
I went end of Jan and still don't have anything. It's looking like an R for me....

Based on my limited research I can extrapolate the following:

1) Much more WL's are gonna come out

2) WL is not closer to an acceptance than to a rejection. I would love for it to be the case but unfortunately not that way based on what I have researched.
 
If you don't get WL from now on is it just a R much later on? Is there still possibility to get an A at this point?

Dude MSAR itself says last cycle the WL had a 75/100 yield...

That data from MSAR is apparently outdated, or at least doesn't resemble the previous cycle or the one before it. Look at previous threads it was mentioned. Not possible for that data to be from last cycle.

Also, is there a source from where MSAR gets data from?

Waitlist movement really depends on how many students accept UMass's offer, and how many spots in general open up.

Why would you say MSAR data from last cycle is outdated? MSAR is way more accurate than SDN...SDN is not the whole app pool, remember.

I’m currently holding an acceptance here, and I would be very happy to attend this school if that’s how my cycle rounds out. However, I am out of state (so instate tuition isn’t a positive deciding factor for me), and I’m currently on the waitlist at 4 schools - 3 of which I would choose over UMass. I’m sure there are other students in my position, so it really depends on WL movement at other schools which will catalyze WL movement here. Wishing us all the best of luck in this ever changing, absolutely chaotic (thanks coronavirus) cycle!

Well my pt is even the yield isn't 75/100 it could be 60/100 and ofc some ppl who get the A here will choose to go here but the WL is for ppl who get into UMASS and then pick and go to Harvard or something..
 
Seriously, has anyone heard anything? When I interviewed in November, they said they do the majority do their decisions in March/into April, but it feels like there’s been nothing.

I’m just feeling really exhausted and down, this is my favorite school and the lack of transparency, especially now with everything being shut down, is frustrating.
 
I emailed them today because its been like 7-8 weeks. Not as bad as most people here but it's almost April I need/want to know if I have to consider other options. Hopefully we all hear back soon.
 
It seems like there are a lot of WL, are we sure there are only 100?
(Congrats to all on there though I hope for the best for all of us, this is just a curiosity)

SDN users are more likely to be the type of competitive applicant who would get a WL/A than an R post interview
 
I think I remember hearing that in the past, PURCH decisions have come out a little later than the rest of the school— does anyone know if that’s the case?

They told us on interview day that over half of PURCH admissions offers are done in March/April so I think it is likely they have more As to give.

I think I remembered them saying that but with all the worry and doubt, it just gets confusing. I hope you hear back soon too if you haven’t yet! When did you interview?

idk if this helps but I interviewed for PURCH in November and haven’t heard back yet either! and for whatever it’s worth I’ve had a pretty good cycle otherwise (which definitely doesn’t mean I’ll get in here, but just for reference/to try to ease some nerves— seems like they’re just kind of slow!)

It does help, I hope you get good news from them soon! Did you by chance interview 11/18 and 11/19? That’s when I interviewed and met a lot of awesome folks 🙂

I interviewed in September and was waitlisted for PURCH on Friday for what's it worth. But I had a friend interview in November and get accepted in January. I think it's all random at this point
 
R for PURCH as well, not completely unexpected. Ah well, maybe I'll return for that cool Baystate Med-Peds residency
