Looking at this, does anyone know if PURCH acceptances ONLY go out after March? Or can PURCH acceptances come out sooner?
Got an OOS acceptance for MD/PURCH earlier today actually! Had my MD interview in mid October and my PURCH interview early November. Also noting again that AC definitely doesn’t mean an R and that you really are still being actively considered because I got the AC email two days ago lolView attachment 345971

Checking previous threads, there have been no burst of IS As being reported though. I was thinking it may just be a reporting issue. Also, didn't the UMass Admissions team say they give out As evenly to IS and OOS and PURCH and MD/PhD throughout the cycle?It looks like there have been only 2 IS As reported here. Unless I missed anything?
I wonder what makes then put aside most applications for AC and some to immediate A? It's not stats from what I can tell.
Maybe I'm just searching for a trend in nothing but looked like to me very few IS A's early on then a burst came around December 12. This was at least the case two cycles ago, hoping this is something we see this year too!!!!Checking previous threads, there have been no burst of IS As being reported though.

During my interview day there seemed to be more OOS students though and I interviewed a bit earlier on. I don't know. It's all a bit clandestine
*August for me😢View attachment 346041
Waiting to hear back after interviewing in Sept and getting the AC email
I was wondering the same thing, I'd be down to make a GroupMe if others are interested!Are there any admitted student FB groups?

Pre/post?Big fat R the day before thanksgiving lol! OOS but qual'd for IS tuition (born/raised in Mass). Good luck everyone!
1. There's no secrecy/logic to crack. It means the admissions team assigned to your app has discussed it amongst themselves. I was told on my interview day that it basically means they've decided roughly what to do and when to do it. I interpret this as meaning they decide whether or not to bring your app to the admissions committee for acceptance, hold off until later to see how you stack up with other applicants, or reject you. FWIW, sometimes applicants just get accepted ~2 weeks after without the email and others in the same time frame with it. I think they just sometimes forget to send the update. How they decide who to accept is beyond me, but it usually isn't just raw stats.Q1. Did anyone ever crack the logic behind why most people get this AC email and 2 IS interviewees (reported here so far) got the A? It is obviously not based on stats.
Q2. Did anyone write to them to ask when we might hear back on the final decision? They said before March, but that's just obvious.
May I ask what you generally wrote about in your update letter? I am starting to brainstorm to send out updates, and I would appreciate it if you have any suggestions/advice!A this morning, in state!

Interviewed in August and got AC in October then heard nothing. Feeling very discouraged but trying to hang in thereHave any early interviewers (Sept/Aug) heard anything after an AC???? Hope is dwindling..

Closed file! The raters don't know anything besides your name. Best of luck with your interview!sorry if this is a silly question, but is the interview open or closed file? I understand it is mmi format, but do the raters know anything about our applications?
