But don't most schools send out more acceptances than spots to fill, knowing that some people will drop acceptances? Or do they send out the same number as spots and that's what the waitlist is for?

Good point, I am not sure. I assume if a school has 200 spots, they will send at least 200 acceptances by March 15th!
UMass has the opportunity to pull off the cruelest April Fools joke of all time today

Looks like a lot of people were waitlisted April 2 last year.. good luck to you all!
Any news?
Maybe they don’t want anyone to think it’s an April fools trick/:
I don't mind being tricked at this point. JUST LIE TO ME AND TELL ME ANYTHING GOOOD

Was your email at the same time as the one above or just now like 30 min after? Trying to figure out if it’s sent in one batch or throughout the day

Mine was just before 12:30. Sending all the best to the rest of you. This waiting game sucks, and I know it's easy for me to say having heard something, but you it will all work out one way or another. Keep you chins up 🙂
Same time as others I assume?
I just withdrew my A! I hope it goes to someone without an A. Good luck everyone. 🙂

I just checked the waitlist procedures pdf posted by AAMC. It was just updated and it says they took 70/150. I’m assuming this is from last cycle which checks out with why people were saying they felt there wasn’t a lot of movement last year.
I also got waitlisted and just wanted to give a heads up. There’s no way of telling what’s gonna happen this year and those are still pretty solid odds. So, stay optimistic but also start planning to reapply if you’re banking on this like me 🙂!

Maybe we’ll hear back tomorrow? Hoping for the best but fully prepared for the worst because it’s been months of silence😔

You received an AC email twice? I really don’t know how they review these, but good luck to you and everyone still waiting🙂
Friday refreshers assemble
This is too funny, I love it. Weren't there a lot of decisions this Monday? I thought they do once a week.
Waitlist to MD & PURCH. Interviewed in January. Very grateful, going to be a long summer!
do we know if they usually release decisions in one batch, or throughout the day possibly?

From following along with this seems like it’s been a one batch thing. Sad.
But congrats to everyone that heard something today!

Waitlist today after interviewing 2/9 (email just before 11am). Waitlisted last year around this time and they didn’t hit me with the R until august. Unfortunately need to commit to enroll to another school mid June even though umass is the dream — good luck to all!

I am in the exact same boat! just PM you!
Is getting a WL later worse? is getting a WL earlier better?
I thought the WL was unranked, is this not true?

Nope, same batch as the other posters
Has anyone gotten off the waitlist yet? In past years, people have started getting an A from the WL. This year also has the most reported WL compared to previous years.
