Also some people just join later on. Ex. I haven’t joined any the schools that I got into but I might create/reactivate my account to join eventually

Why have there been no Post-II Rs yet? Just let me know where I stand!

Are you talking about UMass or another med school?

interviewed 2/15 and waitlisted today, I accepted my offer on the waitlist, but my portal is showing "decline after waitlisted". Did I mess up and hit the wrong thing?

my portal shows the same thing. I think it is for the next step if we want to decline waitlist.
4-5 total waitlists reported here? Probably a lot have gone out then?

It was, I believe

UMass
I think it is correct based on the data. UMass accepts approximately 400/800 interviewed students if you look up post-II acceptance. A lot of these are probably off of the waitlist. It seems like they accept 200-300 and then take off the waitlist.
My coworker knows someone who goes to UMass and was accepted in late March. That seems early for WL, so perhaps there is hope for in the coming weeks for us long-AC people!

It's not over till it's over. Don't lose hope everyone! People get accepted later than today so why can't you 🤷🏻♀️
Just got the pre-ii R. OOS but with very strong ties to the state (have lived here many years). Very sad about this one, I got an interview here last cycle and got WLd, felt like I made meaningful improvements to myself and my application so this was pretty heart breaking from one of my favorite schools. Good luck to everyone else waiting to hear back! Hopefully its not too much longer

me as an august interviewee, AC in October and nothing since 😴
This is just my anecdotal experience but I was waitlisted at UMass last year and there was essentially no WL movement at all (very few people posted that they got accepted off the WL on last year's thread, I think <5?). I sent in a letter of intent and another update letter post-WL and nothing. Definitely didn't feel like it matched up with the reported numbers on MSAR, though take that with a grain of salt cause of course there is self-selected bias on SDN. I kept holding out because of the turn-over "stats" but ended up just being disappointed when that didn't play out. It could have been COVID and over-enrollment last year so not to say that it would be the same scenario this year -- don't give up hope!
waitlisted this morning- December interview. IS reapplicant with very similar experience to comment above :/ trying to hold out hope for my dream school but ugh
): Sorry to hear. When did you get your decision?
Just got the post-II R. Interviewed in August and AC in October. UMass alum and I am devastated. Kind of suspected it and I am fortunate to have an A elsewhere but UMass was far and away my first choice.
Good luck to everyone remaining. Hope we all end up where we are meant to be.
Edit to add that I am IS

What time?
25 minutes ago received r
Post-II R today as well, interviewed in December, IS. This one hurts 😢
If I wanted to send a new LOR as an update, should I just have the writer email it to admissions? Or is there a better way to do this?

From the secondary portal: "Please note that additional letters of recommendation should be sent directly to us via email or mail from your recommender after our application deadline has past." -- Yup looks like email is the best way to do this!
Ah thank you I should’ve caught that!!!

anybody who interviewed for PURCH hear back yet?

Are decisions only on Fridays? Were there any decisions for Monday or Tuesday?
I applied PURCH and have not, but have definitely seen two or three PURCH acceptances on this thread.

I figured there was no hope for decisions this Friday since it’s Match Day, but I checked the thread last year, and a few people received WL decisions on Match Day (March 19th 2021) incase anyone was thinking the same, there’s some hope 🤞🏻

Dang. I hope we get some A's too!

This may be a hot take, but I’m honestly hoping for a WL. An A would obviously be better, but I feel like we haven’t seen an A in a while, it’s late in the cycle, and the UMass WL is a great one to be on with all the movement from previous years.

Could anyone share if UMass gives any scholarships (not just financial aid)? Looking at applying this cycle but OOS (yes, I know they can only admit up to 25% OOS) - does that mean that even if there are scholarships to be given they would not go to OOS at all? thx

Fair, I was surprised by the movement TBH.
Nothing today?

Can confirm, I got a very generous scholarship about a month ago (which was nice for an OOSer like me haha), and I think they're being more generous than usual this cycle with scholarships because of the big donation they got last September
Nothing on my end :/
