Interviewed 2/19 just got an AC email

Interviewed 2/19 just got an AC email

Same here except I interviewed 2/18!

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).

Post-II R today. Good luck to everyone else waiting!

2/9

 

[premed 2025]

Silly question, but is this the standard AC email? Or are there multiple versions?

It’s the standard AC email.

+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!

WL. Interviewed 11/18

+1. Interview 1/13. Not sure if anyone knows the stats of people getting off the waitlist but I’m staying optimistic!

Huge waitlist movement according to MSAR!

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!

 

[confused_premed97]

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

Similar situation. Lol.

Ohhhh boy! A second AC email just a bit ago after my first one back in early Jan., interview on 12/15.

+1 but I interviewed in mid October! Hopefully we will hear back soon... it’s been stressful LOL

+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

 

[hellohello340151]

+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.

+1! 1/27 interview! this one gave me a heart attack!

 

[monkiecat]

Same for me, interviewed 10/20 (PURCH) and 11/2 (MD), received first AC email 11/23, just received another AC email 20 mins ago LOL. Just give me waitlist already!! I wonder if it takes longer for PURCH....

Been checking on this thread bc checking SDN is still a force of habit and all I have to say is...WISHING YOU ALL THE MOST SUCCESS AND I HOPE WE END UP IN CLASS TOGETHER

Congrats on your acceptance! Can you give us Hopefuls insights on FB group numbers?

 

[celtic6643]

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
