In the interview how does umass want us to show them our AMCAS ID?

I wrote it on an index card with sharpie and held it up to the screen. Saying it out loud seems like a normal thing to do

Active consideration email today 12/22. Interviewed 12/8

+1 except interviewed first week of Dec... It really gave me a scare thinking it was a R even though I knew they send these AC emails! Whew.

 

[luxio]

Interviewed 12/1 got an active consideration email today, 12/22.

 

[luxio]

To offer insight into the convo for those without access to the MSAR, in the past four years the following has been reported:

- Hispanic/Latinx folks number between 3-6 in each year’s class. (23% of Worcester identifies with this demographic)
- Black folks number between 5-11 in each year’s class. (14% of Worcester identifies with this demographic).

the actual counts may be lower since students are "duplicated" in the columns. so if a student checks both black and hispanic, they are counted twice under each column.

Are people responding to the active consideration email? I feel like it's not necessary but I saw a couple people did and I seek guidance

Does anyone know whether UMMS accepts LOI pre-II?

Does anyone know whether UMMS accepts LOI pre-II?

Their portal doesn't have a limit to the number of documents you can upload, so fire away. It can't hurt, right? I uploaded one pre-II interest letter under the "Additional Attachments" tab and received a II about a month later, but it is unclear if those two events were related.

I really hope this works for me... I uploaded a Letter of Interest last week. Fingers crossed.

Hey does anyone know if UMass accepts grade updates? I can’t find that info anywhere online...

They accept for pre-req courses on the secondary portal, what kind of classes were you looking to update?

Oh none of them are pre-reqs but I just wanted to update them with my latest grades. Thoughts? Would it be bad if I went ahead and sent them my grades for non pre-req courses?

 

[MOB202]

At what point should I send a letter of interest after interviewing? Interviewed on 11/18 and haven’t heard anything yet. Should I wait to see if see if I get WL’ed?

I don't think so, it makes sense to me to do so! You can probably upload to the portal as an attachment, but if you're worried maybe email admissions? Then again they may be put for holiday so it could take them a bit to respond

I interviewed weeks ago and as of today my portal updated from "Under Review" to "Interviewed" No active consideration email or any communication from UMMS, just this anticlimactic delayed portal update.

I interviewed at the beginning of the month and my portal still says "Under Review" .... anyone else?

 

[scienceishard111]

I interviewed in the second half of december and mine has updated to interviewed already

I also interviewed earlier this month, got an active consideration email last week and my status is "Under Review".

[premed375813]

I interviewed 12/22 and mine says "Interviewed" but no "active consideration" email

 

[NotTheButtons]

I really think what the tab says is arbitrary- I think it has more to do with how quickly they're getting through administrative work and updating individual portals, not whether you are more or less likely to get active consideration/acceptances.

 

[rm1234567]

do any accepted students know when deposits are due? Or has anybody been asked to submit one for this school?

 

[Sfts_88]

I'm so sorry, all 😔 Did any/all of you receive the Active Consideration email between your interview and now?

Interviewed in mid-December myself, received the Active Consideration email 20 minutes ago.

AC e-mail doesn't predict the outcome - most people get it

Yup! Just trying to get a sense of their timing surrounding the holidays.

 

[cathhhhhh]

Anyone else IS and completed back in July/August and haven’t heard anything? This is one of my top schools and I guess the only in state school we have here in MA so I was hoping for something here :/

Meeeee. I'm low-stats though, so I'm not surprised. I just kinda hoped being IS meant something... but hey we haven't been rejected yet!
