If they give out acceptances this week, do people still have to respond by the 4/30 deadline for plan to enroll on AAMC?

Is it bad that I wished I had gotten rejected earlier in the cycle?? Its basically a rejection at this point, right? Like sorta best case scenario relative to most of our situations now. I feel like I held on to some hope and did nothing for those 6m than work full time and refresh my email.. feeling disappointed ... could have retaken the mcat ugh

Yeah keeping people waiting this long is pretty inconsiderate of applicants' time and ability to move forward with other things. I haven't been able to send a letter of intent to my top choice DO school because of it. But the fact that some people get good news after waiting so long and its not a certain R means I'm not going to withdraw from UMass and everything is on pause until the very end

True plus last cycle idk if they were sending out As this late like last week and the week before, I was kinda shocked to see As still being given out. If you’re still waiting too, can you like this message?

How likely is it that they give any A/WL this week? Last year they just gave R.
This cycle has been very different and there should still be a lot of people waiting. Honestly, we should just take what they said and wait until 4/30. It's been very surprising so far and if they have underadmitted, there could be another round this Friday. After Friday I would believe there is no shot.

Hmm I hope all of us waiting are given good news. There has to be a reason they kept us this long. Has anyone tried calling for updates ?

Hi all — I’m a bit confused by the wording on the UMass website and in the acceptance email regarding the “Plan to Enroll” option on CYMS. I currently have one acceptance (UMass) and I’m on a waitlist elsewhere. Since I only have one acceptance right now, does it matter if I don’t select “Plan to Enroll” yet? Just trying to make sure I’m not missing any important steps. Appreciate any insight!
Im WL at Umass and accepted at a different school. From my understanding, if you don't select Plan to Enroll by Apr 30th, the school takes it as a withdrawal
Emailed them after sending an LOI a few months ago and they sent back a 1 sentence response saying I'd hear back no later than April 30th
Yeah that is their MO they won't give any details over email unfortunately
I wonder why they bother with rolling admissions when so many decisions aren't even sent until April 30th anyways :')

exactly, but I am just wondering why they can't tell us any earlier if they plan to reject us this week. Would this be anyone's first A?

Hi y'all praying for everyone still waiting <3
I know some schools do it based off of timeline vs ranking and just curious if anyone knows how the waitlist works at UMass!
Definitely an odd one out here, interviewed 21Jan and heard back around two weeks later for IS WL on 7Feb (not sure if that's a good or bad thing LOL)

Only 20% 😭 that's so much less than the 75/140 from 2023...
True I haven't even heard anything yet :') but atp a WL might as well be an R
For anyone on the WL, do we think that there will be any movement before May 1st? The email had indicated it could be anytime, but the website specifies May 1st is when they start reviewing the WL. I'm sure your guesses are as good as mine, but any insights are appreciated

Did you see any change in your secondary application portal? Is it still “under review” status?
It says 'Waitlisted' for me and there's an option to accept/decline

I thought last Friday there were emails until 12-12:30 but idk if that’s the case every time 🤷🏽♀️

I hope so, I'm right there with ya.
This is just me coping but I'm wondering if it will be closer to the 150/75 now that I think about it. It seems like the 2023 cycle they over accepted and this year they're taking a more conservative approach, so less A's sent out (and also more A's and WL's sent out later in the cycle compared to last year provided that SDN is a semi-accurate report).
Yeah, im really unsure LMAO. I was just kinda confused by the update they did to the WL data and MSAR. Im guessing the 200/ 40 is for next cycle, but really no clue

I do wonder what the point if of making us wait for 5 more days just to reject (assuming there aren't any more A/WL handing out which based on past years I don't see it)
