Which means there's 7 interviewers that need to rate you before you're complete lol

But why are they rating me 4 months after the interview? What could they possibly remember about what I said at that point?

I think you're already rated and theyre probably comparing you to other applicants as they interview (not sure but i interviewed 10/6 and have had no communication and this is my best guess)

I sure hope so lmao. Only II to date, and 2 of the 3 other schools I expected/anticipated an II from rejected me this week 🙁

Do they call or email with results?
Read previous pages in this thread, I’m sure someone has mentioned it!
They email!
When did you interview? 👀
late August for both regular and PURCH

Just got the A! In the letter it says "Acceptance of our conditional offer is to both the MD Program and the PURCH Track." Does this mean it is a spot in the regular track and PURCH, and I decide which?

COngrats! I would think so, but I am not 100% sure. WHen did you interview?
I interviewed 10/20 and 10/21 and received an AC email 11/1. I was really sure I would be WLed at this point bc I had heard nothing since, so don't give up hope!

Wow congrats! did you just get an email or does your status change to on the web portal?
Don’t worry about the AC — I haven’t received one and I interviewed in August

Me too! Don’t worry people in the earlier pages said they got As without any AC

PURCH applicant here. are they still likely to send out most of their As in March (and they accept ~~~~25?)? seems like on here there are >5 As, and if you guess that there are maybe 5 non reporters, we're almost at half? any thoughts on this neurotic math?
I would say SDN makes up 10-20% of reporters, meaning 80-90% are on SDN and don’t report or are not on SDN.
For example I think 2-4 people reported an A yesterday with UMiami. We know they send an A to 20 applicants at a time.
That being said, do they only give 25 PURCH acceptances or do they only matriculate 25? Big difference between the two.

I support neurotic math. I think it’s safe to assume that UMass will accept 30-50 PURCH applicants - I’d guess initially ~20-25 get As and the rest are WL->A
Based on SDN threads from the past few years, mid-February to April is mostly WL/R decisions with WL->A in April-May.
We’re gonna get a WL wave between this month/March. So reasonable to assume that around 20 PURCHies have gotten As, and the rest of us will be WL->A. There wasn’t a surge of PURCH As ever in March, just WLs. Maybe this year will be different? Prove me wrong and accept us outright @umass [emoji36]

You have a spot in both the medical school and PURCH track. Your choice is already made so you’ll be in PURCH, but you can submit in writing and work with Umass if you’d like to opt out of PURCH. Check the PURCH website out, there a section on it I believe. But more importantly, congratulations!!! Can’t wait to meet all the wonderful people here.

Waitlist yesterday (OOS). Interviewed 12/16 and got the AC email mid January. Anyone have any idea of what umass's waitlist movement is like?

Congrats! When in january if you dont mind me asking?
The 13th, I believe.
Congrats!!! That's so exciting. What are your stats like if you don't mind me asking? That's very quick turn around.
3.4/518
my status changed on the portal as well! I had checked the portal that morning coincidentally and it was not updated, and then checked a few hrs after I got the email and it was. So at least for me it seemed to be pretty well synced to the email timing!
Thank you for this reply, so helpful!

In case anyone was wondering, the official FB group is live! Can be found through the accepted students page > second look
Also by searching for it on Facebook in case anyone doesn't want to dig through the links

Just in case it is helpful to PURCH-people since I see some speculation about reporters vs non-reporters above: I interviewed on 9/29 and 9/30 and I was accepted to PURCH on 11/7.
AC just now. Interviewed 1/31.

same here, what does that mean? is that good or bad?
Doesn’t mean much I don’t think. Just that no decision has been made/you’re still under consideration. Email was definitely stressful though haha.
well that is subjective af.
It is good in the sense you haven't been rejected. It is bad in the sense you haven't been accepted. You are in a limbo awaiting decision.

For all post-interview applicants, how often have you been checking in/sending updates? Have you been emailing or just submitting updates through peoplesoft?

There is fine line between checking in/updating and.. annoying the f out of the adcoms. I wouldn't do it more than twice. Once makes the most sense but if spread apart enough then it can make sense to do it again.

Gotta love unsolicited advice! For anyone else, just wondering what you've been doing re updates, thx.

I've sent in a significant update and a LOI that didn't have a huge significant update although it reiterated my reasons for wanting to attend the school.
I don't have any more significant updates to send currently, so I plan not to unless I'm still without an acceptance in late May and haven't been rejected by UMass by then. Then I'll send a Hail Mary letter.
Frankly, don't think my odds are looking too hot, but fingers crossed.
Nontrad, OOS, quite a bit below average matriculation stats, interviewed in mid-December, AC in early Jan.
LoRs through email (by asking your letter writer to do it)
Update letter and LOI through peoplesoft.
Hope that helps.

I sent in a thank you letter after my interview in November and an update letter in January—was accepted at the end of January (not sure if that was a coincidence or if it made a real difference tbh). Uploaded both to the portal. I didn't send in any new LoRs (didn't know we could do that lol) but that also could be a good idea. Best of luck!!
