I agree... I wonder if no news is good news for UMass or if they do silent Rs

[Lou Xur]

+1 Accepted today, I:12/5 (MD/PhD)

 

[kalista]

Any 10/24 interviewees hear back?

 

[INeed_aVaca]

Any 10/24 interviewees hear back?

I have not!

 

[BitofNothin]

At my interview they said they don’t do silent R, and past years looks like active consideration can turn to A. according to msar 75 people make it off an 150 person WL, good odds

Their waitlist is 150 people? That definately makes me feel a lil better abt getting WL if so

Hey y'all, just to clarify accepting admission does not equal committing to enroll does it?

 

[pandapremed]

Hey y'all, just to clarify accepting admission does not equal committing to enroll does it?

[supercooper21]

[noblesmk]

Did any 12/8 interviewers hear back? It was delayed from 10/31. I also had the lahey interview 11/13

 

[swaggymd]

Any other August interviewees still waiting to hear?

 

[nosleeponlyschool]

I'm a PURCH applicant, interviewed late Sept and early Oct... still waiting to hear back!

 

[studentordoctor]

Interviewed early Sept for both the MD program (9/7) and Lahey (9/11)...also still waiting to hear back. Uggh the waiting sucks

 

[INeed_aVaca]

Im so curious about the admissions for the Lead program. Like I know the cohort is ~25 and applicants have to be approved by the main committee and the Lead committee, but with a new program, I wonder how they’re going about acceptances

Also since it's such a small class, I'm curious if the LEAD or main committee's evaluation holds more weight when evaluating applicants to the program.

Also since it's such a small class, I'm curious if the LEAD or main committee's evaluation holds more weight when evaluating applicants to the program.

They are separate evaluations done by separate committees (i.e, they don't influence each other). You can still become a student if you are accepted to the MD program but not LEAD, but you can't if you are accepted to LEAD and not the MD program. Also, a class size of 200-225 is not small (unless you're speaking to the LEAD class size, then yes - it's a small class...but that's usually the average number of students accepted to a track at any other med school).

 

[puddles_ty]

has anyone sent update letters? has anyone seen this influence admissions in any way?

 

[Moontoe]

Has anyone gotten into lead? Still waiting to hear back from September

 

[gluggaveður]

I've seen one LEAD acceptance on this thread. In the same boat

 

[studentordoctor]

Same 😕😬

 

[nosleeponlyschool]

I think As on Fridays typically start going out in a couple hours, crossing my fingers that more of us hear back today

 

[ii_manifestation]

Has anyone gotten into lead? Still waiting to hear back from September

I think there have been a few, when I got the call in Oct they said they had sent out very few As. Since its such a small class, not sure how they're going about it

 

[lost_and_found]

Same 😕😬

Same 🫥

Does anyone know what sort of clinical experiences there are for students here pre clerkships? I’m struggling to navigate their website

Hi! Current MS1 here and we're planning Second Look Day on April 4-5th which is optional but very informative!

There's actually quite a lot! If you want you can DM me and I can tell you more because it's pretty in depth

 

[PhillyW]

OOS Pre-II R today, complete in september

 

[jacob42]

IS rejection today pre-interview. Complete in Sept.

 

[penguin345]

IS A today!!

 

[nosleeponlyschool]

OOS A MD/PURCH about an hour ago!!! :,)

 

[123medQs123]

IS A MD/PURCH!

 

[asc99]

Is it safe to assume that people who have interviewed earlier on in the cycle are rejected if they haven’t heard anything back? It’s hard to believe that it takes them 4+ months to evaluate your application.

 

[wednesdaysg]

IS A CANNOT BELIEVE THIS LITERALLY SCREAMING CRYING (interviewed in October)
