2024-2025 Massachusetts

[Shen_qingqiu]

If I am interpreting the new MSAR data correctly, 4 students deferred entry to c/o 2029.

UMass now offers 200 WL spots and reports to pull 40 people off the WL. Do not know if this applies to the 2025 cycle or the upcoming 2026 cycle.

MCAT data for matriculated students (does not differentiate between IS and OOS):
- 10th percentile: 505
- 25th percentile: 509
- 50th percentile: 512
- 75th percentile: 515
- 90th percentile: 518

MCAT data for accepted students IS/OOS is slightly higher than the matriculated students data. The 50th % MCAT for both is 514.

I am very interested to see how this turns out in the end!

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

Based on past threads, movement started after the 4/30 deadline

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

Congrats to all who heard back so far today!

Does anyone know if there’s more of a time frame (like 9-11:30am) for emails vs just 9am?

 

[anonymous2025]

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

Has anyone gone back and counted how many WLs are on this thread? Curious if the 200 WL/ 40 A or the 150 WL / 75 A is what they are doing this year

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).

Even if we did that there’s not a large enough sample size to ensure relative accuracy. It’ll prob be easier to get an answer from adcom

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

actually sorry i misspoke! last friday decisions i think were sent up until 11 ish at least As and WLs. But Rs were reported later

 

[tellmeaboutit00]

are they done ?

 

[opaqueglass]

does the interview info for yalls portals have a little square with an x

 

[vinnied86]

Crazy they're really going to make the rest of us wait 5 more days before they reject us. What a joke of an admissions process...

 

[swagdaddyja]

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)

 

[Shen_qingqiu]

Someone reported an A today on admit so there might be a chance of more WLs?

 

[cooper_m]

Yup same here

 

[tellmeaboutit00]

Has anyone been rejected this week?
