Where do you see it on the portal? Is it just at the top when you login?

The application action section changed to waitlist and it prompted me to accept or decline the waitlist spot!

IS waitlist, interviewed on 1/23

 

[capybaracapybara]

Has anyone that interviewed 3/12 heard anything back yet?

Interviewed 2/9 and still waiting to hear back

 

[abc1345]

Has anyone that interviewed 3/12 heard anything back yet?

Interviewed 12/15 have not heard anything at all since then (not even an active consid. email)

same here but I interviewed in August. Taking this as a rejection at this point even though they said they don't do silent rejections

TOTALLY agree from an oct interviewee. I truly hope everyone in our shoes is thinking the same way for the sake of their mental health!

 

[tryptophan5]

Have they just not sent any post II R's yet or are people just not reporting them

 

[swaggymd]

I mean who knows honestly but they have sent post-II WLs

Yep, I'm taking it as a rejection. I'm glad I have an A elsewhere but damn, UMass' process is ridiculous.

 

[abc1345]

What boggles my mind is that people who interviewed in Feb have gotten a decision before some of us who interviewed last year lol.

 

[tiredpremed777]

Any instate As received in March so far for regular MD? I've been seeing lots of waitlists and purch/lead As

 

[aan_23]

are you IS or OOS

Didn't get an email but my portal updated to waitlist, interviewed 1/5 and 1/8 for LEAD

 

[aan_23]

do we think that the LEAD class is full yet?

 

[hellomd08]

are you IS or OOS

OOS but strong ties (Burlington is my hometown)

 

[donutdawgs]

WL today, interviewed for PURCH 1/30

 

[aan_23]

OOS but strong ties (Burlington is my hometown)

hopefully it works out for you 🙂 still waiting over here unfortunately

 

[aan_23]

ok well i guess that's it for this friday. closing this page and applicant portal til next week.... see y'all then

 

[whyitgottabelikethis]

The empty promise of AC emails and the claim of “no silent rejections”… just to have so many who haven’t heard in months. Just downright disrespectful at this point.

 

[tennisfan72]

been seeing a lot of PURCH WLs recently, has anyone who interviewed after 12/15 gotten an A for PURCH (the last reported PURCH A I saw was for a 12/15 interview date)

 

[hellomd08]

hopefully it works out for you 🙂 still waiting over here unfortu

Thank you, I hope so too, it was my only ll!

It's a brutal wait, hopefully you hear back asap

 

[123medQs123]

Does anyone know when UMass publishes its 2024 residency match results?

 

[studentordoctor]

Well...if it makes you feel any better, apparently they finished with interviews last Tuesday (3/19), so hopefully we all hear back something re: post-II decisions by the end of April. I'm just wondering if they will have another Second Look for those who are accepted after the first Second Look event (i.e., after 4/5)?

 

[txpremed1234]

just withdrew an OOS A. hope it goes to one of you!

 

[spicy_lemon76]

do people think there would be PURCH orientation or any programming prior to the typical MD? if so where could I find some more info / timeline on that <3

 

[INeed_aVaca]

I believe Lead does (it was mentioned in my interview) so im sure PURCH does too. I would maybe email them for specific dates

 

[OreoLover365]

Does anyone know when regular MD applicants will get their final decision?

 

[PreMedBot]

Does anyone know when regular MD applicants will get their final decision?

I believe they said everyone should hear something before the end of April (A, WL, or R), in terms of how long the waitlist might take to receive a final decision... could be anytime between the end of April and the beginning of classes

 

[deleted1169403]

Does anyone know when regular MD applicants will get their final decision?

“you will be notified of the final decision on your application no later than 4/30/24.”

the last interview date was 3/21 actually

 

[whyitgottabelikethis]

Why it gotta be like this umass

 

[studentordoctor]

the last interview date was 3/21 actually

Welp, my bad fam...my point was that they have finally finished interviews (i.e., no more IIs will be sent out), so they can now focus more on sending out the rest of the post-II decisions 🙂

 

[MKTD]

The class of 2028 Facebook group has been updated to 292 this morning! Did anyone get an A this morning?

 

[whyitgottabelikethis]

Why do they wait so long to give out decisions if it just wastes your time if you need to reapply. Does that not negatively impact the school by not giving re-applicants enough time to make adjustments to their app

could be someone just found the page or admin had a backlog of members to approve

Unfortunately, it would seem to impact the individual re-applicant far more than any single institution. The first-time applications don't stop because there are highly qualified re-applicants from the previous cycle. Will be interested to see if '24-'25 cycle continues the downward trend in number of total MD applicants.

 

[polar_seltzer]

Looks like most of the decrease in total MD 2023-2024 applicants is due to the YOY decrease in reapplicants. COVID bumped first-time applicants in 2021-2022 substantially, then many of those "excess applicants" rejected in 2021-2022 reapplied in 2022-2023.

2023-2024 is the first post-COVID "normal" cycle. We have returned back to baseline in first-time MD applicants, hovering around the historical average since 2015-2016 (a hair under 40k). I would expect numbers to stabilize at this mark, but I'm interested in how it shakes out too.

 

[MKTD]

could be someone just found the page or admin had a backlog of members to approve

The FB group gained 4 members yesterday morning and 5 members this morning.

 

[whyitgottabelikethis]

Anyone get any information by calling their office? (Other than “decisions will be out by end of April”)

 

[INeed_aVaca]

What’s the attire for second look day?

 

[coolgirl7882]

I think financial aid this year will be a bit delayed due to so many FAFSA issues.

I called them and they’re hoping to have awards out by late April. FAFSA delays are definitely contributing to this.

Do we think UMass is still sending out acceptances?

I sure hope so...

So do we think over half these people will go somewhere else or are we waitlisted cooked?

 

[dope.uh.mean]

As a data point, I have an OOS A that I will likely withdraw, depending on fin aid

 

[BeagleLover987]

Waitlist just now for MD/PURCH. Interview 9/13 and 10/18 or something. IS applicant and this is my top choice -- now time for the wait
