the last day to hear back is april 30th right? so everyone on active consideration should hear (even if waitlist) over the next few weeks?

 

[njapplicant]

So I found a document online saying that this school has about 100 people on the waitlist and gives out about 75 offers. Is there any stock in this?

Does this school typically have a lot of waitlist movement?

Just got waitlisted. Interviewed 12/22

Congrats on the waitlist!! I interviewed the same day and have been waiting to hear back like crazy. When did you get the AC emails? Hoping you end up getting the A!

1/6 I believe I got the AC. Thank you so much!

 

[medimed2]

Any PURCH news?? I wonder if they leave the PURCH folks for later or something.

WL today! Interviewed 2/19

 

[TheCyclingRedwood]

WL today after interviewing on 2/09 and being placed on AC on 3/05 (received another AC email on 3/08) Sent my LOI a couple weeks ago, so very happy and relieved to still be considered

 

[blondedoctor22]

Do we know how likely you are to be accepted off the WL for IS?

 

[deleted1054719]

MSAR states that UMass WL's 150 and accepts 100 off the WL

 

[puppers97]

MSAR states that UMass WL's 150 and accepts 100 off the WL

^ can confirm MSAR used to say 100 waitlist, 75 accepted off it, and was now updated to say 150 waitlisted and 100 accepted off it

Any accepted students receive the third party background check? In the acceptance email they mentioned we would be contacted separately by the third party, but I never received anything.

I personally have not. I'm also curious if anyone has received any financial aid info?

I personally have not. I'm also curious if anybunny has received any jelly beans info?

Lol the April Fool's hack really threw me off here I haven't received any f i n a n c i a l a i d info yet!

Remember, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies. I will be hoping that this letter finds you, and finds you well.

 

[thetenthletter]

UMMS seems to match pretty well everywhere but doesn't have a great record of matching people in NSGY - does anyone know why? I'm really interested in attending but worried it may limit me because I'm interested in nsgy.

 

[sunshine09]

Friday!! Any hope for those on AC?

 

[ASV444]

Do we know when UMMS will get back to us? Interviewed early Feb and haven't heard anything back...

 

[futuredoc4634]

Waitlisted, interview early Oct (PURCH)

 

[premed375813]

Waitlist interviewed 12/22 IS

 

[Macbeel]

WL email 30 min ago, interviewed in Nov, IS

 

[medimed2]

Its WILD how long its taken to put together the waitlist. It seems like its been a slow drip for the past few Fridays, assuming more coming the next couple. We were supposedly being actively considered for awhile now (some of us for several months). Hard to believe that is true now. A lot of dusting off of apps it seems like.

 

[medkid83]

Feels so odd that I interviewed in October and I haven’t heard anything besides the AC emails. Trying not to lose hope but this is tough . Sent in a couple updates and everything. Any chance there are still any As coming out? how many more WL spots do people even think are left?

Waitlisted today morning! Interviewed 1/27 & IS

 

[NotTheButtons]

WL! Interviewed 10/29... man it has been a long 5 months. Very excited as this is still my top choice!

 

[PlzSendHelp]

Is there a time range where they usually send out decisions or should we be on alert at all hours?

[njapplicant]

Does Umass typically see a lot of movement on the waitlist for OOS students? Idk if this has been asked/it’s on MSAR

 

[krebscycle911]

Has anyone received financial aid yet? I know it was supposed to start coming out in April

 

[always_sweating]

Has anyone received financial aid yet? I know it was supposed to start coming out in April

I still haven't! My NetPartner portal updated last week to require a new document be uploaded, but that's it so far

 

[thetenthletter]

How generous is UMass with need-based aid?

 

[RChenemy]

Not sure. I thought med schools usually don't give out that much aid right?

 

[uniqueindividual]

Does anyone know when UMass starts to take off their waitlist? Is it after April 15th typically?

 

[sunshine09]

Friday !!

Waitlisted today, Interviewed 2/24, AC about a month ago. Lets goo!

 

[medkid83]

just got WL this morning, realistically the best I can hope for at this point I suppose so trying to stay optimistic as this is my dream school! Interviewed in October, 2x AC emails since then, technically OOS but have lived in Mass for 10 years. Good luck to everyone, I really hope to get to see some of you next year!

what were your stats if you don't mind me asking?

 

[@futuredoc123]

Does anyone know if Umass ranks the waitlist? And if they let us know our rank?

 

[NamesMcree]

Did you get email or phone call?

Email! Said "WAITLIST OFFER" in the email title. God bless them for not doing any of that "go to the portal to see your admissions decision" BS.

 

[NamesMcree]

what were your stats if you don't mind me asking?

516 MCAT, 3.1 undergrad GPA, 4.0 grad GPA (40 credits)
