Fb group now at 204 😭 F in the chat

Didn’t last years group have close to 300

Didn’t last years group have close to 300

It says 356 but no way they have 100+ spots to fill

Also if they want 225 students, would they have over 100 members that are admins and people from other classes? It just doesn’t seem right

Schools always give more acceptances than they have slots because they know not everyone will choose to go there

I would also like to note that they said at accepted students day that they overenrolled their current M1 class (class of 2028) and had some people from last year who deferred and will be entering the upcoming class of 2029. I am unsure by how much, but that would also explain very high #s from last years Facebook group.

I think like someone said before most likely this cycle will look like last with mostly WLs being given out the next three Fridays starting this week maybe? Then Rs at the very end and maybe As very sparsely distributed. Idk I could be very wrong but gl everyone and take care of yourselves the next couple weeks 😭

For the next 3 Umass Fridays if I get in I'm going to crush some beers and if I don't get in I'm still going to crush some beers so if you think about it it's a win win

 

[anonymous2025]

Hey guys gl to everyone! Idrk if decisions will be/have already been sent out but still

 

[vinnied86]

I think they're definitely waiting until some of the people they've already accepted either decline or accept their offers before giving anymore decisions.

 

[anonymous2025]

Ya I guess next week maybe idrk anymore but I’m trying to have fun before reality sinks in

 

[riceandchicken]

[king20]

some people hear back around 12:30pm, still hopeful and naive

[vinnied86]

Been waiting since September lol, so happy for you that you got the A today

 

[labdoodle]

Been waiting since September lol, so happy for you that you got the A today

Im just happy people are finally hearing back.... same boat waiting since early October

 

[anonymous2025]

And did you apply PURCH/Lead and MD or just MD?

 

[Shen_qingqiu]

Congrats to everyone that got accepted!! Well deserved
Does anyone know how many people are in the facebook group now?

 

[anonymous2025]

We thinking that’s it for today cuz they don’t typically send decisions this late right?

 

[Shen_qingqiu]

Sure would hate it if the adcoms pranked us by sending more decisions (please) would definitely ruin my whole weekend if they gave me an A (I'm so close to crashing out)

 

[MYOsin_guy16]

I called today. I asked them if I haven't heard back from an interview in september should I take a hint that I'm going to get rejected. They said you will hear back by April 30th. Fantastic.

the classic... infuriating that they can do this to people

 

[Shen_qingqiu]

I'm trying to focus on my reapp but it's so hard not to be delusional when A's are being sent out at this point in April when last year it was all WL/R...

 

[Shen_qingqiu]

I don’t drink but jfc I actually might try something today (send me your best recommendations bc I dislike the taste of alcohol)

No don't give into your demons (corona sunbrew- tastes like a slightly beer flavored orange seltzer)

 

[hopefuldoc1122]

Do we still think we’ll see waitlist movement starting shortly after 4/30?

 

[Shen_qingqiu]

Probably- some number of people will definitely be giving up their A's, but no idea if it will be the same 75/150 like was reported on the MSAR waitlist procedures

 

[pedneuro6894]

I withdrew my A today, hope it goes to @vinnied86

 

[vinnied86]

From your mouth to gods ears brotha

 

[E. Leaf]

@pedneuro6894 I've been waiting since August. Hope that A splits into two and I get one too 😂

 

[pedneuro6894]

@pedneuro6894 I've been waiting since August. Hope that A splits into two and I get one too 😂

While I hope you get an A too, @vinnied86 was at my wedding so he gets first dibs

 

[PreMedNeurotic]

If anyone has taken the time to study previous threads… is there any hope for early interviewees at this point?

im pretty sure they don’t review based on date of interview. So honestly its just a crapshoot for all of us atp

 

[bracketlife]

And did you apply PURCH/Lead and MD or just MD?

I applied regular md

 

[anonymous2025]

^ Congrats! Can I also ask if you were OOS and PURCH/LEAD or just MD?

 

[airballear]

Got an A today! LM 78. My only A, one of only two MD interviews received

Congrats! When did you interview?

 

[bulldoguniverse]

does anyone from accepted students day know how full the Lahey or Purch tracks were?

 

[Cooked346]

So is it safe to assume that this is the last week that A's would be given out? I know they said April 30th but I feel like 90% of A's are given on Fridays

 

[MrBear1999]

does anyone from accepted students day know how full the Lahey or Purch tracks were?

I cannot speak for Lahey, but PURCH seems to be full based on how many PURCH people were at accepted students day.

 

[MYOsin_guy16]

Lets put it this way they interview half of their instate applicant's. If you have a LM score thats pretty low like me (something like 67), not even an MCAT in the 10th percentile of matriculants. I'm assuming an R hoping for a WL at this point. HOWEVER, if you have gotten this far you're probably a lucky bastard. I consider myself very lucky, I may just slip into the 2029 class. HAHA, we will see on April 30th.

 

[anonymous2025]

same lol ok wait for those u want to share ofc like this message if you have a LM score of around 66-69 (either lower than avg MCAT or GPA) and are waiting to hear back? I'm OOS in that position and just wondering how many of us there are or if you're just waiting to hear back in general

IS still waiting, LM of 68

 

[iloveharvard]

UMass doesn't care about LM. My friend got accepted last December, LM 66, no gap year. I think they are looking for someone with big heart!

 

[iloveharvard]

Yes I’ve also heard that UMass doesn’t care about stats as much as other schools. But also I have observed that OOS applicants who get in tend to be pretty high stats (again just my observations from my friends who go there rn)

Is your friend IS?

I have also heard from past and current students that they really like applicants who have demonstrated interest in primary care & are planning on pursuing it for residency

He is OOS, applied for regular MD, interviewed in December, got accepted in about two weeks.

 

[MYOsin_guy16]

Crazy take. They have a median MCAT score of 514 for marticulants. I was unaware they were looking for someone with a big heart. I would have mentioned that I have familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with preserved ejection fraction.

for all my OOS folks manifesting the best for us and the same energy that this guy got 😭 gl tomorrow and this week everyone!

I don't know what my friend wrote in his essay, but I exactly know his MCAT is 509. Besides he had a big heart, he performed very well in his interview, that's my best guess.
