I was told in an interview at another school just to submit the fafsa even if you haven't gotten in yet to make sure there isn't a delay if you do get in

Has anyone heard back this week?!
I think the second look day being this weekend may be delaying some decisions this week. I didn't see anyone report a rejection on Tuesday so who knows what Friday will look like.

They definitely have admitted at least 200 people by now, if not more. The FB group is close to 200. Just out of curiosity, can people “like” this post only if they haven’t heard back from UMass yet? Thank you.
This is correct, you should file ASAP, especially with the cuts that have been happening to the department of Ed.

Kind of pissed my advisor told me I would "definitely hear back by the end of March". Goes to show you that no one, not even people that know the adcom's by name knows what the hell is going on.

I’m truly getting over it. The more we wait the more I just feel like I’m not a good fit there. Like why would I pay money to go somewhere where I’m not wanted? Also why hasn’t anyone HEARD ANYTHING THIS WEEK.
Also kinda sad that those who haven’t heard back are missing accepted students day tomorrow :/

I think that trying to predict how many acceptances are left is a waste of energy but just wanted to share what was told to me on my interview date. I was told they would try to let us know before the end of March and that most decisions in April would consist of waitlists and rejections. Still haven't heard back and staying hopeful but being realistic 🙂

+1 Dean Kedian told us at 12/18 interview similar thing. She didn’t say March as the deadline for straightaway A, but she said in April it’s mostly WL/R. The closer it gets to 4/30 more likely R > WL

But she also lied about us getting updates post interview within 4-6 weeks..whether that be an A or that they’re still looking at applications…which they haven’t sent 💩
I'm wondering if things have been disrupted this cycle with the administration cutting research funding... It could be that they're more behind than usual but this is just me speculating, no idea what's actually going through their minds

I
Im trying to remain this hopeful as the rest of my apps have been given an R
I feel you I'm also sitting on one WL from a school with practically no movement... At this point just preparing to re-apply and trying to enjoy spending time with my family

My only thing is I don’t think I’d be able to reapply this upcoming cycle..I don’t have significant changes to my app and honestly don’t want to reapply with the same stuff
I don't know what your application looks like but you never know! I'm trying to view this unplanned extra gap year as a chance to save money and pay off loans lol

Probably not? Since everyone's app still goes through the main committee anyways and I'm not sure if getting accepted/rejected from these tracks has any influence
No from what I remember your app goes through Lead/Purch committee first, and regardless of whether they say yes or no the main committee still has the final say. Theoretically you could get accepted to Lead/Purch, but if it's a no from the main committee it's ultimately an R

Today’s the official last day in my mind. I’ve come to terms with whatever the outcome will be after this and will assume it’s an R going forward. Good luck today and hopefully they send some updates to everyone.
Sadly, I spoke to my pre-health advisor, and she said there will be no movement till April 30th, when students decide to commit, and then schools can see remaining spots open. That being said, who knows what to believe what Umass does. Going to spend my time applying to new jobs/coming up with plan B,C,D... lol

Same I would’ve not chosen the earliest interview date as is common practice. Wish I took 1-1.5 more months to practice my MMI
Even worse cause I thought I did good in my MMI, apparently not

Is your Pre-health advisor in touch with the school?

For the past two cycles/threads that I’ve checked, the first week of April = nothing bc probably adcom is occupied with Second Look. Then, the next 3 Fridays in April were WL (reported, at least. No idea about R). Finally, the day before April 30 or a few days before, the remainder of the post-II Rs are sent out.
I would expect the pattern to follow like this. Hope everyone still waiting on this thread gets some rest, do something that replenishes your soul, etc.. see you all next Friday.

Yo I’m actually so bummed no one got any updates today
I couldn't find a GroupMe for this school but I have a friend at Tufts vet school with a place 10 min away from UMass looking for a roommate because hers is moving out. Feel free to DM me if you're already accepted and interested in the place (females only). If there are any current UMass students on this thread, I'd appreciate it if you could reach out for more details to share with your class. Thanks!

Good luck to everyone this week <3
If this gives anyone hope, at accepted students day they said that the 2029 class is still not full and they still plan to enroll 225 people in the class.

Does anyone know how full the class is currently?
There were ~100 accepted students at accepted students day. There are 151 people in the group chat and 198 people in the facebook, but some current students/administrators are in both.

This is more transparency than what adcom would tell us. 😊 thank you so much

I wrote an update letter shortly after my interview in february, but i just got published (as a second author) on a paper I had mentioned was being reviewed in my first update letter. Is it worth sending another letter updating them regarding this? I don't want to spam them with letters but it's pretty significant i think

I think that’s pretty significant plus the dean told my cohort letters can’t hurt you: just help or not do anything 🤷🏽♀️ imo atp we have nothing to lose
I think this was the first time I ever laughed while using SDN 🤣

Anyone hear back today?!
If they are giving out rejections today they usually send them a little later on in the day, around early afternoon i think

Has anyone heard back? Maybe it’s no longer UMass Tuesdays 🗿I guess the only constant is Fridays
Nothing reported on admit/cycle track... I look like a lunatic refreshing the same 3 tabs over and over
