[MDwannabe01]

OOS A! Interviewed here in august

what day?

 

[adnwastaken]

what day?

I just checked and my interview was actually a week into September

 

[OreoLover365]

OOS A!! LM 69, interviewed in August 😊

Did you get the A at the same time as other applicants? Or when you sent your message?

 

[deltacarotene]

what day?

9/6! Apologies, turns out I got my months wrong. I interviewed in September.

I believe the same time as adnwastaken!

 

[biotechguru]

Strange that they are all OOS. Do you think it's reporting bias or they only gave OOS A's?

I think most of the first interview days were filled with OOS applicants. At least on here, those who reported II's were all OOS at first.

Just my two cents but I had my interview today (I'm IS, submitted 7/21 I think, II 9/10, and interview today 10/17 because i forgot to post lmfao) and the majority of my fellow interviewers were also OOS, so I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case

My late September interview was a healthy mix

[applied2toomanyschoolsxd]

any october interviewees hear back yet :s

[lalamedschool]

OOS

 

[Sneakercat98]

If I interviewed on their first day but haven't heard anything, should I assume WL at best, rejection at worst? Or is that not how they go through apps?

 

[PreMedBot]

Do you guys think they are done handing out IIs? It seems early for that, but the talk on the earliest interview appointments in February is not sitting well with me. I also haven't seen anyone report an II on here in a bit... my friend interviewed here in February last cycle and got the invite in January... so idk what to think—just going to remain cautiously optimistic.

I don't think you can assume that. Im still convinced they havent given out any IS A's yet... but maybe I'm just searching for something

Congrats!! I’m confused bc we only had earliest dates in Feb when a few of us reported IIs a few weeks ago… what is happening here

They may open up different slots for IS vs OOS. I know one other school does that, maybe UMass does too?

 

[Sneakercat98]

Just got the A! No email...just happened to check my portal and it's updated with an acceptance offer

That was my rationale. Also mine came with a PURCH interview spot, so maybe that also played a role?

Hi! For anyone who has already interviewed, are there any 1 on 1 convos with faculty or students outside of the standardized MMI sessions? Is it important to prepare specific questions about the school or is that more applicable to info sessions?

 

[asc99]

Anyone interviewed in August and haven’t heard back?

 

[MDwannabe01]

+1 interviewed 8/29

 

[biotechguru]

+1 interviewed 8/29

You think that means WL?

 

[sdfwr312]

You think that means WL?

it looks like people can wait a looong time before getting an A/WL/R at this school (or a lot of schools out there for that matter)

 

[MDwannabe01]

You think that means WL?

No, this school doesn’t go in order of interview date, they accept students as the committee for that interview date can meet to vote, I’m giving it a few more weeks!

I hope so! Also interviewed 8/29 😵. Manifesting for both of us!

 

[applied2toomanyschoolsxd]

fellow OOS A here last week as well, interviewed in late September 🙂. super grateful for and excited about this school. good luck to everyone else!!!

at the accepted folks, is there anything else we need to do other than upload the CORI form? i haven't received any other email confirmation after accepting and declaring to matriculate if that is right? (just making sure)

what's the CORI form? I haven't received that...

 

[ii_manifestation]

i think on your portal its the thing you do to consent to a background check -- if i remember right it should be in your things to do after you accept offer?

Hmmm I don't see anything in my things to do but I did accept the offer...

 

[medschoolapp2023]

Hmmm I don't see anything in my things to do but I did accept the offer...

I also do not have anything else to do in my portal after accepting the offer. I think we are just waiting for a company to reach out regarding the background check in the next couple of weeks?

 

[ii_manifestation]

is there an accepted students group?

I think it'd be more helpful for you to prepare questions for the info sessions! The MMI sessions are pretty short and I spent about 95% of my time discussing the posed question (sometimes my interviewers would ask follow-up questions). The Q&A session allows you to be a lot more in-depth with your questioning; with the student-led Q&A session, no faculty are present and it was a great way for me to learn a lot more about their perspective on UMass 🙂
