Has anybody heard back recently? How frequently do they send out acceptance letters?

doctoresse said:Hello, can you tell me how long between your file was complete and interview? I wonder if they starting to interview for waitlist soon...
jonappleseed said:diosa, are you planning on attending?
diosa428 said:I'm not sure. I definitely liked it a lot when I interviewed, but I'm still waiting on a few other decisions before I make my final choice.
jonappleseed said:Hammer, you mention that UMass is one of your top schools, and you seem to have interviewed at some top-notch places. What factors are keeping UMass so high on your list? Is it the price tag, proximity to home...etc??
CopperStripes said:Congrats on your acceptance!
Were the UMass grads that you know able to get good residencies? I've heard great things about UMass students doing primary care, but is it tough if you want to specialize? I'm fairly certain that I don't want to do primary care, and that's the only thing that would keep me from applying early decision in the spring. What are your thoughts on this?

Bianca01 said:Has anyone received an official rejection or waitlist notice post interview? Or has anyone been accepted since interviewing in late October?
jonappleseed said:The committee may have already met for December since Hebrew Hammer received an acceptance a few days ago.
TradeManny said:well it seems the last meeting was on Thu Nov 17 judging from the last posts from people on here who got their acceptance online Nov 21. I'd doubt it'd be the Thursday before Christmas weekend. So it coulda been yesterday or will be Dec 29.

At the interview orientation meeting, they specifically stated that the admissions committee meets "on selected Thursdays"....
TradeManny said:my main concern is starting to be how full the class is right now...anyone have any ideas on this?
Bianca01 said:I haven't heard anything either. Am I the only person destined for the waitlist? I haven't heard anything yet, and my interview was many months ago...arg!
wilson bitt said:I wouldn't make any assumptions quite yet. It appears the only people who have heard were those that interviewed back in September or very early October. I don't think they are quite up to the late Oct/November group yet.
wilson bitt said:what are we thinking? potential ADCOM meeting today? got to think some decisions need to start coming out sometime soon from wooooster.
Hebrew Hammer said:Hey Jona, I think the Diosa captured alot of the pros and cons of the school, but I think one of the reasons that it is still one of my top choices is because of the docs that I know who have gone there. My PCP, many of my friends, some of my co-workers at MGH etc, went to or are going to Umass and absolutely loved there experience there. They focused on the fact that you graduate with a phenomenal base of generalist learning, which will help make you a great doc no matter what field you go into. The quality of education is obviously great, and this couipled with the finances makes it a very desireable place.
On another note: I WAS JUST ACCEPTED AT UMASS!!!! I went ot check my status on-line and clicked on the accept/decline button and found out that I am in!!! Good luck Jona!!
