Has anyone recently spoken with UMass admissions about waitlist movement? I've been seeing movement start at other schools.

I emailed them and all I got was “we will announce all WL positions by the start of classes in August. Majority will come out by mid-July” super vague

Mid July is actually crazy. Even now end of may is a bit crazy lol

Mid-July is so late - wow. I was really hoping for a large wave of movement this week [emoji24]

Mid July??? I need to commit to my only A by July 1st. That is soooo late, some schools start at the end of July😢

Soo I'm not sure whether I'm missing something here, but they said "majority will come out by mid-July". This means that anytime between now and mid-July, most of the WL-->A decisions will be sent out, not that majority will come out during mid-July. Taking into consideration the delays caused by FAFSA, the big WL-->A wave may end up happening during end of May/even sometime in June. Basically, the statement they provided is the same one they would give for any app cycle - it's a typical "non-answer".

Just trying to keep some positivity here ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah what they said, it’s BY mid July, i think they will definitely send them out earlier lol

Good point. It’s just like how for post-II decisions, they said everyone will hear BY end of April. And some people found out in March and early April, so hopefully people will hear before mid-July.

Yesterday afternoon and it was an email

 

[mhunter5774]

Congrats!!! Can I ask if it was for a specific track or the regular MD?

 

[BitofNothin]

When we’re you interviewed and waitlisted if you don’t mind sharing?

 

[druidcookie]

When we’re you interviewed and waitlisted if you don’t mind sharing?

I interviewed in late January and was waitlisted in late March for the regular MD track

 

[embaddie]

is there a groupme

 

[BeagleLover987]

I interviewed in late January and was waitlisted in late March for the regular MD track

Congrats on the A!! Will you be accepting? Also a bit confused -- are you in-state for MA or VA? Just curious based on your comment history 🙂

 

[coolgirl7882]

Anyone have any updates?

 

[Chocochips123]

Would it be worthwhile to send a letter of intent at this time? I'm IS

 

[sr0918]

Withdrew from WL for another school. Good luck to you all!

 

[BitofNothin]

Silent week by the looks of it then

 

[agent18]

Does anyone have any updates? Has anyone reached out to the adcom about the status of waitlist movement? Thanks so much

I emailed them because I have to commit to enroll to another program by July 1st and they just said good luck in the “coming weeks” as movement happens on the waitlist.

Wait...so were they passive-aggressively saying "good for you on that A, that doesn't change anything" or are they saying that WL movement is most likely picking up this month? Lol these cryptic responses from the admissions teams are sending me

Every person I’ve managed to contact has just said movement will happen in the future, genuinely baffled lmao

 

[yqerygt3qtf3qrg3q]

I'm trying to work out a complicated commute-- Do any current students or just better-informed applicants have any idea what attendance is like? How many days/classes are required in person?

 

[tennisfan72]

Do you think the lack of WL movement is indicative of the class already being full ? I know for one of my NY state schools they sent email out telling everyone that the class was overfilled so WL movement was extremely unlikely. So I’m just generalizing but who knows 🙁

which school is this?

 

[cryingintheclubx]

There has probably been some unreported waitlist movement at least. Facebook group has moved from 344 to 357 in the last 2-3 weeks. It's hard to believe that a program that typically has 70 waitlist spots accepted would have such a decrease this year so I'm still keeping my hopes up

 

[tennisfan72]

which school is this?

SUNY Upstate! Crossing my fingers all of us hear back from UMass soon 🙂

 

[studentordoctor]

Another week, another bout of silence 🙁

 

[BitofNothin]

This is our week gang stay hopeful 🙏

 

[BitofNothin]

Odds we make it to 3 weeks since the last WL movement?

 

[studentordoctor]

Has anyone recently emailed Admissions to get an idea what's going on? If so, what was their response?

 

[studentordoctor]

@BitofNothin, I guess we did make it to 3 weeks 🙁

 

[BeagleLover987]

Welp another week of silence. I only have one more week left until I have to commit elsewhere halfway across the country 🙁

Ugh I'm similar here- I have to commit by early July and tbh the longer I wait the less interested I am 😭 Im about to sign on an apartment and i want to know where I'm going for the next four years!!

 

[BitofNothin]

no honestly, I’m starting to really think that they might have filled up their class alr… stay hopeful tho guys next week 🤞🤞

 

[embaddie]

anyone have any insight into where med students usually live in relation to campus

 

[BitofNothin]

Guys admissions was just following the nba finals, acceptances goin out tomorrow

 

[mdche]

Just withdrew from the waitlist. Good luck to everyone else!

 

[sillygigglegirl]

Withdrew from the waitlist - had to commit at another program by 6/30. Sending amore 🫶

 

[studentordoctor]

Anybody think we're gonna make it to 4 weeks of silence by the end of today?

 

[dazedandconfused__]

I withdrew from the waitlist! I figured 8 months of waiting for a decision was enough for me LOL. Absolutely best of luck everyone <3

 

[shahzadi]

Anyone thinks there will be anymore waitlist movement? 😭

 

[per_aspera]

When I asked a week ago, admissions just said "There is a slight chance there will be movement off our waitlist around our Commit to Enroll deadline (July 12), but we cannot guarantee that."

+1 I called last week & they said the same thing

so basically they mean wl movement is pretty much over? I am surprised that only a few were reported here for a school that typically moved 70 off the list.

 

[BeagleLover987]

Withdrew from the WL. I don’t even want to go here at this point after waiting 9 months post-interview lol. I’ll take my money elsewhere 😂

 

[mhunter5774]

Lol do we think its a good or bad sign my people soft portal has changed and now no longer has my withdraw from waitlist button?
