From what I know, there are still some interviews left to be done, so I assume most of the A's, barring waitlists, will be given in the next month or two.

Where did you get this data?
The FB group for UMass Medical School Class of 2025 has 390 members.. so if we are currently at ~200 for 2026, we will have a solid shot

Does anyone know if UMass is generous with financial aid and merit scholarships?

Has anyone seen any acceptances on non-Fridays or are we buckling up for another full week here?
MSAR says waitlist info is 100 acceptances/150 waitlist offers. 390 members in 2025 probably includes waitlist acceptees

Not sure that the FB group includes waitlist acceptees since I was waitlisted last year and not invited to the FB group. Maybe that's because I was at the tail end? But it does seem like quite a high number otherwise.
FYI, there are a lot of MS1s and MS2s in the 2026 FB group because some of them are involved in second look day and some other activities.

Hey y'all, is there a group chat for acceptances?
Probably not post on an open forum where anyone can join

It was just regular MMI questions. Nothing pressured, no trick questions, know why UMass, know the career direction you want, you should be GTG
Congrats! When did you interview?
End of October
Just received AC email, interviewed 01/18.
Same!

Does anyone know if PURCH applicants have to wait longer to wait for an answer? Like I don't know how the admissions process works for that
On the PURCH website it says that over half their decisions come after March. I think if you didn’t make the initial cut, PURCH takes time to balance all of the factors in their class makeup (ie. Regular MD vs PhD, OOS vs IS, Men vs Women etc).
Any news yet today for MD?

Pre
Facebook group class of 2026 is at 263 members. it looks like there are a lot fewer spots left =(
idk how much we can rely on facebook, it went up by 30 members on monday in like an hour. idk if that's when they send out invites though
Doesn't the accepted student need to request to be added? Or are students sent out invitations via FB?

There's an email sent out a few days after acceptance. A lot of the members are M1 and M2s. I think they are invited via FB
Guys…speculating on the number of admitted students based on relaying what we think the numbers of members in a different Facebook page is probably the least productive thing to put mental effort into.

It's hard to know for sure without checking on each person, but a quick look through suggests about 30 - 40 current med students and the rest accepted students. It could be a bit more since some people don't list UMass on their FB bios which is the only part that's visible to non-FB friends.

When do people on AC normally start hearing back about WL and Rs? Hoping it is an A but you know
amaryllis95

Unfortunately it seems to vary widely. I don't have the stats but just from what I've observed, some people are still on AC from october, some people get an A a week after going AC
EDIT: I see now that wasn't really your question. Don't know as much about WL and R.
