month and a half
interviewed Nov 11, got the AC email like 2 weeks after that, and then silence since. Sent an update about a week and a half ago hopefully to get the ball moving in one direction or the other

Interviewed early September PURCH/MD. LOI submitted in January. Silence ever since.
Lowkey mentally moving on but also hopeful for an A once they have PTE data on 2/19.

why is the PTE deadline 2/19? Isn't that early?
Not the deadline, the data. That's when it starts.

PTE is nonbinding and anonymous, just gives schools a rough sense of how many people have them as their top choice. It just starts 2/19.

Feel like this might be a silent one because there were a bunch of acceptances last week

Could be. At the PURCH interview in Dec the admissions people told us starting in January they have committee meetings every week, but I don’t know if that means we’ll hear every week
Will they send an email regarding an acceptance if you don't answer/receive the call? I currently have an international number and I will until July ish. I updated that on the AMCAS page but idk how it works with them reaching out to international numbers.

What do you mean by this?
I'm pretty sure UMass only sends acceptances by email
I wouldn't worry about this, they inform you of decisions through email.

Nothing really, just seems like Umass tends to send acceptances on fridays

Did anyone get the second look email and is planning to go? Also, is there an accepted students GroupMe?
I heard from current students that it opened for them around late February/Early March last year, I wouldn't stress about it right now. Take it with a grain of salt, they could always release it earlier or later this year.

Are more II's going out?
Should be open now!
Thanks for the heads up! Just got their email, so much for not worrying about it now 🤣
I've had zero correspondence since my interviews in August 🤣
Is it worth following up with admission to ask if I'm still under consideration or just keep waiting it out? I sent an LOI already and an activities update

Someone mentioned earlier that PURCH applicants get decisions in March?? Not sure how true that is
Agreed. It is just crazy that they haven't even sent an AC email. I have never heard of a school waiting this long to send any kind of correspondence
UVM has been taking their sweet time too 🥲
Don't know the original message but definitely not true that PURCH applicants have to wait until March, there are a few PURCH A's here.
Perfect, thank you!!
There is this one Telegram group chat for UMass accepted students made by mcatbros that I found. But it only has 11 members so far. I’m having a hard time sharing the link here on SDN. But if you go to the facebook page for the class of 2027 of UMass Chan School of Medicine and click on the title of the page, it’ll show you the information of that page including the members of the group and a short description about the page. If you click on “see more” under “about”, it’ll give you three links. One of them is the Telegram chat for the class of 2027!
The official Facebook group links the unofficial Telegram chat? Or is the Facebook group also not official?
I personally would steer clear of anything related to that person due to their reputation
AC email today, interviewed 1/27

Is AC like a hold? Or a waitlist?

I have not received anything yet since my interview late September. Does that mean a rejection ?

Wondering the same thing. Around 20 weeks no communication is pain

Me either. I don't think it means rejection but that's just me being hopeful. It's still only February

My guess is that one of your interviewers hasn't finished whatever post-interview review they're supposed to do, so your file isn't complete and you can't be presented to the committee
But that is honestly not based on any solid knowledge lol

Hoping they take LoIs from OOS students with 0 ties favorably.
This whole waiting stuff is painful.
