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.

No doubt your friend rocked everything and has a heart of gold. I'm not going to argue that adcoms care about stats, because as premed's we all know this to be generally true. There is certianly a lot of hope for people who are still waiting to hear back, its not over till its over.

In the mean time, a really good author/physcian is Siddhartha Mukherjee. Read everything this guy has puts out, pure gold.

Very off topic but I just started reading The Emperor of All Maladies. Incredible

Currently reading this book as well lol! Great read!

 

[BiomedEGR777]

Great fictions reads that I am in between/recently finished: The Sword of Kaigen(easy top 3 OAT for me), and the Bloodsworn trilogy, just getting around to book 2 atm

 

[vinnied86]

Let's see if UMass will be generous enough to give me my rejection 15 days early lol

 

[MedGuy23]

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

I'm in-state, but my LM is in that range. I am a PURCH applicant and was WL'd for both. Praying to get lucky first week of May but *shrug*. For the sake of my mental, I stopped thinking about it and just waiting it out. As the goat, drake, once said "gods plan"

 

[anonymous2025]

I find it so strange there haven't been any post interview Rs reported like ik there's prolly people from awhile ago who just aren't on here to say but still waiting to dump it all on us April 30th is cruel ngl lol

 

[deleted1212093]

yea at this point i am almost confident that the final batch of post-ii R will be sent out either on 4/29 or 4/30 bc they just love procrastinating

 

[MYOsin_guy16]

They would probably say the reason they waited so long to give people Rs on April 29thish is because they were trying to get you on the waitlist or an accpetance. Thats how I look at it.

 

[anonymous6]

were any rejections sent out yesterday by any chance?

 

[deleted1212093]

not that i know of. nothing reported on cycletrack/admit.org for 4/15

 

[MYOsin_guy16]

End of April is notoriously rejection time. past few years SDN was filled with rejections at the end of april for umass.

 

[Curious2001]

Is this late-April rejection pattern also for people who had late interviews too? I interviewed in February and I was hoping they're still deciding not waiting to send rejections late-April but I'm not sure how any of this works at all... any advice/input is appreciated, ty!

From what I’ve seen there’s really no pattern / correlation for when you interviewed vs when you hear back

Ex. I interviewed in December, no reply yet. I know a couple of others here had earlier interviews as well, like August/Sept. someone who interviewed in Feb got rejected already (in this thread or reported on admit.org I forget)

Oh ok, that makes sense! Thank you!

 

[deleted1212093]

But wasn’t it in the 300’s a bit ago?

That was c/o 2028 fb group not 2029.

 

[PreMedNeurotic]

Best of luck to everyone for the 2nd to last UMass Friday of April 🙏

 

[anonymous6]

I think it is so wild that a school can hold its applicants for this long. Many schools have earlier deadlines to commit, and with not knowing so long it really puts everyone in a limbo. I wish everyone the best these last few days of April as they wait to hear back from UMass <3

#OOS PURCH+ MD, II in December + Jan

 

[bulldoguniverse]

WL LEAD + MD

 

[QuantumToaster47]

IS A interview 2/4

 

[frontierpsychiatrist]

OOS WL PURCH + MD, interviewed Dec/Jan. Let's see what happens!

 

[forumskeptic]

IS WL regular MD, interviewed in November and sent an update a few months later

 

[Shen_qingqiu]

Congratulations to everyone!!

Also this has to be some form of cruel and unusual punishment... UMass please put me out of my misery already

 

[iloveharvard]

IS A interview 2/4

Congrats! Did you see any change in secondary application portal?

 

[MYOsin_guy16]

At the end of the day I'm still not rejected, there's still a chance. Albiet, increasingly less so. Keep calm and zyn on. Congrats to the A and WLs, sorry to the R.

 

[buchanerd]

IS A MD! Applied MD + LEAD, interviewed Jan. Updated in portal.

Assuming I didn't get into LEAD : (

Long time lurker and finally made an account to post this. The shared uncertainty and camaraderie here were so comforting!! Thank you all and wishing everyone the best of luck <3

 

[QuantumToaster47]

Congrats! Did you see any change in secondary application portal?

yes! it went from under review to acceptance

 

[anonymous2025]

well see you guys next Friday; thanks UMass for prolonging this pain even more 😭 🙃

 

[Shen_qingqiu]

Any chance they'll still trickle decisions for the rest of the day or is it time to give up till next friday 🥲

 

[anonymous2025]

I’m ngl idts they usually just send decisions in the morning from what I’ve seen. Idk if I’m wrong but last Friday of April last cycle was basically just the R dump right?

Edit- sorry guys I don’t wanna shoot down everyone’s hope. they sent out As today which idk if they did this late in April last cycle so there could still be WLs sent out next week 🤷🏽‍♀️

 

[Shen_qingqiu]

Some thoughts:

- “By March 15 of the matriculation year, issue a number of acceptance offers at least equal to the expected number of students in its first-year entering class and report those acceptance actions to AMCAS.” (Link: Traffic Rules)

^ this may mean that the FB group is underreporting & there are less seats than we actually think at this point, esp if they have sent out 225 A’s by 3/15.

- if the 150 WL number is still maintained, high chance that spots on the WL are filling up by now.

There are probably still going to be people WL/A next week and adcom is saving the R for 4/30. Who knows.

(they're saving the R for me 😭) ty for this analysis i will continue to be delusional

Post-II R this morning. Never heard anything LEAD specific, but assuming it’s for both. OOS but qualify for IS tuition. Interviewed 2/4 and 2/10. Good luck to those left in the running!

 

[Curious2001]

OOS Post-II R 🙁 Interview 2/7... good luck to everyone

Did you see any change in secondary application portal? Is the status still "under review"?

 

[tireddd_open the door]

Congratulations to all those who got an A! Good luck to all of us still waiting.....was wondering if anyone from 2/12 interview heard back?

 

[anonymous6]

So basically, no hope ?

 

[MYOsin_guy16]

So basically, no hope ?

Still possible to get a waitlist, i think an acceptance outright is super unlikely and rejection is fairly likely at this point.

 

[anonymous6]

Oof that’s insane

 

[anonymous6]

That’s exactly what I was thinking…

 

[anonymous6]

I am hoping that is the case, but based off last years trends they were mainly R this late unless some folks did not report their A/WL in the midst of all the R.

 

[anonymous6]

Yeah we honestly just need to take it as a silent R. Which gap year is this for everyone?

 

[king20]

The MD/PhD rescinded offers could have been an issue and bad financial aid offers? Still harboring false hope, guess ill know in 96 hours

 

[anonymous6]

You bring up a good point

 

[anonymous6]

Hmm if those that were originally accepted decide to go elsewhere would that open a couple spots?

 

[king20]

Yeah we honestly just need to take it as a silent R. Which gap year is this for everyone?

1st year, but I dislike my job and i didn't want to have to look for a new one and reapply...

 

[anonymous2025]

Hmm so even if these cases r true, do we think there r many spots open this late even for WL?

 

[anonymous6]

Third year, 1st cycle and same

 

[anonymous6]

Hmm so even if these cases r true, do we think there r many spots open this late even for WL?

I feel like it’s rare but we honestly won’t know until this Friday it seems. Unless they decide to get back to us Tuesday.

Maybe rejections tomorrow? at this point I'm hoping for my wait from 9/17 to be over
