Just got the AC email. Interviewed 2/16. I thought the AC was given before applicants were reviewed by the admissions committee. My email says I have been reviewed but a final decision has not been made and I remain under active consideration. Hoping for the best!
I got this email about 10 days after my interview too. That was at the end of November 😭 (interviewed 11/18).

+1 AC earlier today, interviewed 2/09. Hoping for some promising, more concrete news in the future for all of us under AC :) Congrats to all who've been accepted!

Does anyone know if Mass accepts letters of intent/update letters? I interviewed here literally the first week they held interviews in September, got put on AC in October, and have not heard a sound since. It’s been really tough waiting an entire six months for a post-II decision.

Hey! I'm also considering sending a letter, so I just checked the portal, and it's good to fly! They accept any letters or updates through the "Additional Attachments" section of the application portal. Hope this helps, and I hope we both hear some good news soon!

For those writing a LOI, who do we address it to? I'm guessing its to the Associate Dean of Admissions but I'm not sure.

I'm sure that would be fine. I'm honestly considering addressing it to the admissions committee or even "to whom it may concern".
 
Interviewed 9/29, put on active consideration 2 weeks later, and haven't heard a peep since lmfao

+1, interviewed 11/18. I cannot fathom why we are being kept on AC, especially now that they’ve started giving out WL decisions. Could they really not have reviewed my entire app since November?

Our applications were so great, they've just been in awe the whole time and can't believe we'd consider them for med school over the likes of Vandy or Harvard. At least that's what I tell myself to sleep easily at night

+1 low-key almost had a heart attack thinking it was a rejection email lol
Had the exact same reaction haha. I also just got the first AC email this past Friday so wasn't expecting another AC email back to back, honestly thought it was going to be a rejection too.

I think it’s misleading to check that but it’s probably a little over 200 and I’d say like 20-30 are current students who are helping the school out with second look day

Hi, question for accepted students: have you received your financial aid packages yet? In the FA office hours a few weeks ago, I was told that packages would come out ~2 weeks after the file is complete, but it's been longer than that for me and some of my docs still have the "not yet reviewed" status. Wondering what sort of turnaround others have experienced?

They said awards come out early to mid April for accepted students who already submitted all of their docs
 
does anyone know if they will have a 2nd look event for students who are accepted towards the end of the cycle (e.g. in april)?
