Radio silence for 5 months now… really hoping it’s soon bc I’m getting really worn down between this school and njms ghosting post interview

 

[fishyswims]

No, if you have not heard (A, W, or R)...you should hear by then. Most nebulous convo ever

[Premedd]

Are we still obsessing over Fridays here?

 

[mangosarethebest]

Waitlist for UMASS and PURCH today. OOR, interviewed 1/25 and 1/27

 

[diaperbarge]

Is PURCH still sending A’s?

[HavingFun@13421]

I still have not heard back. is this a good thing for PURCH people? I mean, I've heard from admissions during my interview in november that to be checked by PURCH, you need to do well/pass the filter from the main university admissions first. So that is why it takes this long?

 

[dreamyymd]

is anyone from MA thinking of commuting to Second Look instead of finding housing? I'm ~1 hour away and wondering if it's feasible to drive.

 

[wannabeadoc29]

Uploaded an attachment last week, but the file name was changed (added a bunch of numbers to beginning of it) and I can't click on it to see if it was corrupted/messed up in some way. Did that happen to anyone else?

Sooo if I didn't receive correspondence about Second Look does that mean I have zero chance of being admitted :') or is it an accepted students day?

Would someone who has uploaded an LOI/update mind checking how it looks in their portal for me?

You’re fine, it did the same for my LOI.

 

[studentrotcod]

Could someone fill me in on any upcoming dates/deadlines where one could foresee spots opening up for people on the waitlist? Is there a day where accepted students need to decide?

April 30th

 

[BiomedEGR777]

First App cycle, only interview is here and interviewed back in Nov. Is it worse to not have heard anything back by now or is it still "normal" to not have heard back just yet. Good stats/IS/Low clinical hours

 

[lemon.slice]

heyo does anyone know what the last interview date for MD applicants is/was? TYIA!!

 

[Lithium Carbonate]

Based on the past two admission cycles threads, approximately ~30 outright acceptances are reported between October-March. We're at 31 this cycle. Between March-April approximately ~20 WL positions are reported. We're at 4 right now. Throughout the entire cycle, around 10 post-II Rs are reported. We're at 2 right now.

If UMass is serious about getting decisions to everyone by March 31, we should see serious WL/R movement soon since most decisions go out between now and April for past cycles. So we're either going to get a barrage of decisions in the next two weeks, or UMass will continue to dribble decisions until May, just like the past two cycles. Stay strong everyone! Paranoid rant over.

 

[HavingFun@13421]

I hope that for PURCH, lots of As are still sent out at later stages...

 

[Lithium Carbonate]

So uhhh PURCHies, how we feeling about Baystate after one of their FM residents got indicted on ch*ld p*rnography charges and filming child pt exams? Honestly kind of alarming.

It's literally so brutal of UMass to leave me hanging since Sept . Any early interviewees have not heard back at all?

Yup, same here, getting scared

 

[heyheyheyheyheyheyheyhey]

do you think it's better to have heard back and been waitlisted, or to have not heard back at all?

 

[scullybean]

During my interview (Jan) they told us that towards the end of the cycle it takes a long time to hear back. They explicitly said they do this to ensure that every single person interviewed, "even the very last person," has the same chance for admission as the first person interviewed🤷‍♀️

Well in theory this does sound nice to those who interviewed later in the process, but it defeats the whole purpose of rolling admission, especially those who have waited for half a year .

 

[HavingFun@13421]

I heard that PURCH takes especially longer!

 

[diaperbarge]

happy friday:')🍀

 

[Desmond4Life]

Waitlisted this morning!
