What I’m thinking is that they planned to send them out last week, but the snow storm hit and all UAMS non-clinical staff didn’t come in.

Anyone can see UAMS on CYMS tool that is awaiting to hear decisions this week?

That is correct. My best guess is that the letters go out Thursday or Friday of this week. Snail mail.
I don’t think anyone who is awaiting decisions for February should expect seeing UAMS on the CYMS tool. I think I remember reading on a previous year’s forum that adcom enables that tool once they expect letters to be received by applicants by mail.

On the UAMS College of Medicine FB page
"The life changing letters are in the mail!"- they were sent today!

I didn't get anything in the mail yet. I have informed delivery.
Hopefully that means you’re getting a large envelope with your acceptance package!!
I’m in the same boat.
Good luck my friend <3

Do acceptances come in packages?

Yes. It is a big envelope while the rejections are in a normal sized envelope.
Those on the alternate list will also receive the larger envelope but it will only contain a few information sheets, whereas the offer packet with include additional information, thus a little thicker and heavier than the alternate envelope.

I got nothing in the mail today. Maybe tomorrow!
Looks like they used different color packets as well. Acceptances white, alternates beige

Are you in central Arkansas?
Yessir
The different colors of envelopes can be attributed to order stock at different times.

Mine is but I was accepted in a previous wave
Yes, every person who interviewed will receive something in the mail.
Thank you. Hoping for the best. Tomorrow for sure! However my birthday is Wednesday so that’s be cool!
Do you know if they send all letters via priority Mail or only the acceptances?
got my letter two hours of south of LR today! hopefully letters are on their way/have arrived in other corners of the state.
For those accepted, the letters say that we need to return the acceptance acknowledgement form within 2 weeks. Does that mean 2 weeks from when the letter was dated (Feb 22)? Because if so, it’s already been a week and i’m scared that my form may not make it back in time. Hopefully there’s more leeway to that...

All letters are mailed the same. Some just take longer to arrive due to processing at the different PO stations. There were times when an applicant might not have received their letter after two weeks. It was usually an address issue listed incorrectly on their AMCAS application. Good luck!
It's a soft deadline. Just return it asap. If too much time goes by, they will reach out to you.
Any OOS applicants receive letters yet?
For those who received their letters, were they sent via first class mail?
Based on USPS first class mail large and small envelopes take 1-3 business days to arrive at destination...

Received mine on Monday. Rejection letter so it was small. I’m in CA.
It took me a week and a half to get mine and I live in NW AR
Just paranoid- checked my address on AMCAS like four times haha. Since someone heard back in California- i became more anxious to know. Thanks for the reassurance.

It’s 2021. They need to send emails. The wait is absolutely ridiculous. It’s been a week and still no letter. (I’m a current student waiting on a letter for a family member) I’ll definitely be bringing this up to them at some point
I have a quick question to those who have already received their acceptance letters. Did you also receive an e-mail from UAMS College of Medicine informing you of their new Medical Scholars in Public Health (MSPH) post-bacc program?
I am still waiting to receive my letter in the mail, however it does seem odd that the school would e-mail me with links on how to apply to their post-bacc program if an acceptance letter was in the mail. I am still holding out hope for an acceptance, but I have to admit receiving an e-mail with information about their new post-bacc program doesn't leave me feeling that great. I was just curious if others have also received this e-mail...

I wouldn't read into it. While email marketing platforms can be targeted, organizations often don't utilize targeting features well for one reason or another. Often times organizations send their emails to everyone and anyone just to get their brand out their.
Unfortunately the MSPH email beat the snail mail to some people. If you got the email you have been rejected or waitlisted.
😞
Well, as much as it hurts at least now I know. I guess it just wasn’t meant to be. Thank you for the information.
