Received invitation to QnA session

Same, maybe I'll attend and ask pointed questions about the acceptance timeline 😅

 

[BitofNothin]

Does anyone know what the deal with the QnA session is? Like is our attendance noted down somewhere because it doesn't say it isn't like it did for the earlier QnA sessions. Also what's the difference between this and the ones they had earlier in the fall?

IS II just now! LM 69 Complete 7/25

IS II just now!

What was the available date for you?

 

[druidcookie]

What was the available date for you?

12/25 or 1/23 through February

12/25 or 1/23 through February

+1 OOS II today, I have to think that the 12/25 date is in error though right? I went with 1/23 under that assumption.

 

[BeagleLover987]

12/25 or 1/23 through February

On Christmas?? Bruh

 

[doc.Junior]

I read 22/23 also…very eye opening to say the least, at this point I’d be thrilled to hear back by Feb (im October interview)

I know we've been discussing how the decision committees don't necessarily meet in the order you interview, but it's such a dramatic contrast if some who interviewed in Sept don't have As yet while others who interviewed a month or two later do. Can I ask pls: was it, like an equivalent amount of people had late As as those who got As right away? Or are we talking like a few that got As later, while the bulk got them got within a month of their interview?

...some people who interviewed are still not WL status on the portal, so that's encouraging.

Anyone else get the email to sign up for small group chats? Sounds interesting

 

[txpremed1234]

how did you guys prep for MMI

What do you mean by this?

 

[ii_manifestation]

What do you mean by this?

I think its for accepted/WL'd students to meet students/faculty in small groups and learn about the school and ask questions

Have people been WL'ed?

 

[doc.Junior]

Have people been WL'ed?

Seems like some who have been interviewed have been WLed, others Aed, and some still show "Under Review" in the portal.

Hate to harp on this, I'm just bugging cuz we got an email specifically inviting us to the December 18th Q&A, but do you guys think it will be bad if I don't go to it? For the old Q&A sessions they specifically said they didn't note down anyone's name, but the email doesn't say anything like that this time. Thanks gang!

I wouldn't sweat on it to be honest. It says it'll be informal, so don't think there would be any tracking. I also feel like it would be counterintuitive to penalize you for not going, since it's a session for underrepresented folks.

If you're really worried/interested, you could always reply back asking if there's another session later to attend.

Took your advice and responded, in case anyone is curious, the next session will be at some point in Feb.

Today's Friday 👀

I'm confused because I also received this email and I'm very much a ORM (although I do come from a medically underserved area, so there's that).

I interviewed 10/17 and I know there's people from Aug who still haven't gotten news yet so I'm trying not to be too neurotic but :/

I think med schools have a broader definition of underrepresented (I'm also orm, but am first gen/low income/lgbtq).

did everyone get it? I'm ORM and don't fit any underrepresented category

 

[just.a.premed]

My friend got the A today! They are IS and had a late October interview. Wanted to post since it didn't seem like anyone else did today.

What time do they usually stop sending them out for the day?

 

[puddles_ty]

Has anyone who interviewed for LEAD@Lahey gotten in recently? Interviewed 10/12 and 10/30 and it's been radio silence since.

 

[dope.uh.mean]

got the A today!! OOS int 10/3

 

[Gormeh Sabzi]

Got the A at the MD/PURCH pathway about an hour ago. OOS and interviewed in September!

 

[docdoc3000]

Any A's from 9/22 interview??

 

[raspberry-blue]

IS A, interviewed 11/28!!

 

[nosleeponlyschool]

Is anyone going to ask about admissions timeline/process? In the infosession right now

somebody plz do 🙏

 

[premed42568]

Hi everyone! I was lucky to be invited for an interview back in October but wasn't able to schedule until Feb. Does anyone know if this means I am interviewing for a waitlist position?

 

[lost_and_found]

Have any LEAD@Lahey interviewees heard back recently?

Retweet

 

[toastedbutter]

OOS II just now

 

[sdfwr312]

OOS II just now

are you gonna turn it down?

 

[toastedbutter]

are you gonna turn it down?

I might. Would it lead to another II for someone else?

 

[BitofNothin]

Does anyone know how long admissions takes to get back to emails?

I emailed the lady who sent out the invite to the Q&A session last week (Anne Swift) and she replied within an hour

 

[YodaPineapple]

TB,

With all due respect to you, your decision process, and UMass, I don't see any world in which a non-Massachusetts resident would go to UMass over Hopkins or Vandy with a 75% scholarship.

Give some of us mere mortals a chance at that II LOL.

honestly that might be why UMass waited so long to give Toasted an II, so he would turn the interview down if he had acceptances to other programs he would rather go over UMass

 

[toastedbutter]

I turned it down, I hope someone else gets the II soon 🙏🏽

 

[volecowboy]

IS II today!

 

[spicy_lemon76]

Tomorrow

wait what about it?

 

[docdoc3000]

wait what about it?

they typically send out A's on fridays!! so just wishful thinking that a wave comes today 🙂

 

[studentordoctor]

wait what about it?

Supposedly past timelines seem to indicate that A's are sent out on Fridays, sometimes Mondays and Tuesdays. However, I believe the medical school is closed today (for Christmas Eve) and Monday (Christmas), so not sure whether any A's will be sent out? 🤷🏽‍♀️

 

[txpremed1234]

at my interview (12/15) they said they wouldn't be meeting again as a committee til early January for the holiday

What on earth is happening re: accepted students GroupMe

 

[doctorpeta]

You're invited to my new group 'UMass Chan Accepted Students 2028' on GroupMe. Click here to join: GroupMe

 

[doctorpeta]

Yeah lol it’s the same one someone fixed it

 

[chocolatemuk11]

Why does this school accept so many more women than men? 144 women to 55 men in class of 2027

 

[sdfwr312]

yeah that is pretty crazy, I mean there are more female applicants than male applicants but the difference isn't that much for it to be 144 to 55. The median stats for women and men are about the same too

 

[coffeeandcalifornia]

There's been a conversation about this in terms of undergrad admissions for several years: ‘There Was Definitely a Thumb on the Scale to Get Boys’

I don't think schools are intentionally accepting anyone over the other, I think it comes down to stats and number of applicants. For public schools i'd bet that IS vs. OOS is a bigger factor

This was a super interesting article. Thanks for sharing.
