I just really hope they haven’t already given away all the acceptances and this sample size on SDN isn’t just super unlucky
My neurotic self checks the FB group once a week and it’s at 117 people as of now

Got the email earlier this morning. IS, interviewed September 16th/17thIS? And when did you interview?
I interviewed on 9/24, sent an LOI mid January and still have heard nothing. I reached out to admissions around 2 weeks ago asking if they can provide me with an update due to scholarship opportunity deadlines and deposit deadlines for other schools. They sent me an email back stating they follow AMCAS policies and I will hear back no later than 4/30. Unless you have a significant update or want to send an LOI I wouldn’t bother emailing admissions for an update.are we allowed to reach out to the admissions people and ask for a status update/has anyone tried that? this is the longest ive had to wait for a "rolling" decision and giving us a range of 1 month to "before 4/30" is actually just so ****ty and disrespectful to applicants.
I got it around 10:30 ish this morning.Did you just get the email now?
They really do suck, I am so glad I do not need to bank my future on them. Their entire process is god awfulI interviewed on 9/24, sent an LOI mid January and still have heard nothing.

Thankfully neither do I, but it does leave a sour taste in my mouth since this was my #1 and my partner is currently in the process of moving to the area. Interviewing in September made me think I had an actual shot at getting in. Pretty much just waiting for a rejection letter on 4/30 now, which will be 218 days post interview lol.They really do suck, I am so glad I do not need to bank my future on them.

Same deal with me, they were in my top because of the savings compared to other schools and the proximity to friends and family. also interviewed mid Sept, and also expecting my R there. I even did my interpreters licensing program through their in house program and everything, so much for getting a leg up lol.Thankfully neither do I, but it does leave a sour taste in my mouth since this was my #1 and my partner is currently in the process of moving to the area.

I did undergrad in Worcester and have a lot of connections to the area which is why I think I got an interview in the first place. For anyone who might be reading the forum next year, do not get your hopes up if you get an early interview. You will spend every Friday after then severely disappointed if you don’t hear anything until the end of April.Same deal with me, they were in my top because of the savings compared to other schools and the proximity to friends and family. also interviewed mid Sept, and also expecting my R there.

LMFAO nah this actually made me laugh
Regular MDCongrats! Regular MD? Or LEAD/Purch too?
Or, do people know if the WL is chronological or ranked?Anyone know how about many waitlists they have sent out so far?
I don't know how many waitlists have been given out, but I am pretty sure they don't rank their waitlisted applicants. When a spot opens up, anyone who has chosen to remain on the waitlist is considered for the spot.Or, do people know if the WL is chronological or ranked?
I was accepted to PURCH and didn’t receive a call so I think it depends!If you're applying to PURCH or Lead@Lahey, I believe they call you! I received a Lahey acceptance call on Thursday night and then the official email came ~3 days later on Monday : )
I was accepted in Dec and have filled out all the required paperwork, and have not heard re: aid. I also wouldn't be surprised if it gets delayed since so many programs have been impacted by NIH/grant cuts and/or the impending doom of the department of Ed.Have any accepted students heard about financial aid yet? I emailed them back in January and they said they plan to send out packages "beginning of March" but I haven't received anything yet.
All of my documents on the portal went from “Not Reviewed” to “Received” over the weekend so my guess is they will be releasing them this week hopefully.I was accepted in Dec and have filled out all the required paperwork, and have not heard re: aid.

Missed a call from a medical center in Boston this morning and immediately started getting delulu (this is my last potential MA school). Went through a bunch of googling and tried to call back, turns out it was most likely just a phishing scheme where they spoof the number to target veterans. WORST TIMING EVER. Stay safe out there, y’all 😅
🥲 it be like that. But from what I know, UMass only calls on Thursdays and it seems like MD track applicants don’t get a call. Maybe because PURCH and LEAD are smaller cohorts they do
A couple weeks ago MGH called me bc I requested an appt.. but I thought it was maybe UMass… lol… 🗿
This is very heartbreaking and I am so sorryHoly macaroni. The MD/PhD program just rescinded all PhD admissions due to funding issues. They still offer admission to the MD program but with no coverage of tuition or funds.
"I hope you are doing well. Today I am writing to share a difficult update regarding your provisional offer of admission to the Morningside Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at UMass Chan Medical School for the 2025-2026 academic year.
Due to ongoing uncertainties related to federal funding of biomedical research, UMass Chan, along with many of our peer universities, is facing significant challenges in ensuring stable dissertation research opportunities for incoming students.

Importantly, your offer of admission to the T.H. Chan School of Medicine at UMass Chan will be honored. However, this offer of admission to the MD program does not include a stipend or a waiver of tuition and fees. Therefore, applicants who choose to matriculate into the T.H.

Still making the MD/PhD students pay tuition after pulling the rug out from under them like this is insanity. UMass is a joke wtfHoly macaroni.

It sounds like per the email that they were offered an MD spot. NYU did the same thing, where they rescinded the MD/PhD offers and gave them all MD spots. Heartbreaking none-the-less.wonder if all schools are going to eventually do that. NYU did that also. I dont think those guys were absorbed in MD program either.
