Received an email today from the committee member who presented my candidacy --was congratulating me & telling me how great UMass is. Everyone at this school, students and faculty alike, seem so nice. Best wishes to all of my fellow applicants 🙂

Congrats! I loved my interview day here. I'm hoping for that A too 🙂

any news from admissions today? or are we thinking maybe tomorrow

I interviewed 9/11 still haven’t hear anything except active consideration on 10/17. Apparently UMass sends updates every 2 weeks so I’m guessing I’ll either hear another active consideration or get a decision tomorrow.

I’m pretty much the exact same boat. Any news today?

Nothing so far :/

For those who have gotten an acceptance, congratulations! For everyone else, be prepared to wait for a long time. UMass does a very thorough and considered review of each applicant. If you end up in next year's class, you will be very glad they did such a good job selecting your classmates!

 

[classicgirll]

my guess is most decisions are going to be coming out Mondays based on the trend so far this year....

 

[purpleguys99999]

Any ideas about how far along UMASS is with their interview cycle? haven't heard yet and starting to worry

I interviewed last week and they said it was pretty early. Hang in there, buddy.

 

[classicgirll]

any news today? umass is really keeping us on our toes....

 

[classicgirll]

considering you have 2 A's, really?

 

[classicgirll]

I recognize that I am fortunate to have acceptances. I am in the situation where my parent's health make it very important that I stay in the state for medical school if at all possible. I am not anxious about other schools, but I am anxious about this one and Tufts because they are my best shot after being rejected from BU.

I understand, didn't mean to sound judgmental.

extremely late applicant here. so im filling out the course requirement section and its like, if its anticipated write anticipated in the grade column. anticipated does not fit in the grade column. anyone know what to do?

 

[runmed11]

Does anyone know if UMass helps OOS attendees attain IS status after the first year? I know other state schools do this but am not sure about UMass.

 

[futuredoctorjanedoe]

Sorry if this has been asked already, does UMMS allow notes for the MMI? Even if its just outside of the room

yes they give you notecards to write on!

 

[aniongap]

UMass requires 7 years of residency to consider an applicant as an in-state, so I am guessing that they don’t grant in-state status for out of state folks. However, this is a guess. Anyone else with knowledge on this?

When I interviewed they said your status cant change from what you have it as at the time of application

 

[runmed11]

Thanks for the help! Kinda rough but its such an awesome school.

 

[justalittlestitious]

anyone hear from admissions this week

 

[MedStudent2301]

anyone hear from admissions this week

NOPE, Im pretty sure I have been active consideration for about 3 weeks now hahaha

 

[classicgirll]

anyone hear from admissions this week

nope, and the worst part is monday is.......... you guessed it! a national holiday!

 

[runmed11]

Think we may get some decisions tomorrow?

 

[ihopetibiadoc]

After confirming the interview date given, did a check mark appear in the interview scheduled box on the portal for everyone?

Check mark near interview scheduled appeared before they emailed me about offering an interview. Then, it took a while for check mark to appear after I got interviewed.

Oh, strange! Mine still has not come up. Maybe I should contact them to double check I'm all set then...

If they emailed you about the interview and you confirmed via email or phone, you should be all set. They send a reminder a day or two before.

Interviewed >2 weeks ago and silence. I kind of remember someone telling us we would receive an admissions decision in 2 weeks. Is anyone else in this boat?

I interviewed 8 weeks ago and haven't heard anything... buckle up XP

 

[tessellations]

Hi guys, just wanted to pop in say that after watching/hearing about two people I know who applied to UMass go through the cycle last year, UMass is notoriously slow. Both in giving out IIs (especially to in staters), and in giving back decisions. Buckle up, they might end up testing your patience!

 

[mwsapphire]

One of the guys at my work had an interview there and is still waiting to hear back...he got the invite in I think, Sept., after being complete in July.

 

[tide2992]

Does UMass accept updates?

 

[unluckyadhessiveness]

They told my cohort if you were rejected right off the back your decision would come back in 2 weeks. After that they review monthly, so it potentially could take several months.

Yes! They welcome them.
