Orthodoc40 said:No changes.
I hate them for taking so long!
slb830 said:I second that.
I don't think enough UMASS people monitor this site.....
I think we need a sample size greater than 4 right now to make a conclusive decision here...
Orthodoc40 said:
A lot read it though, looking at the # of views. Maybe they are the one's getting acceptances...
All I know is, this means I have to re-take the April MCAT, and I'm pretty bummed. Especially if I hear a week later......

MedChef said:I applied to Umass before and my experience is that we heard around this time next week. I am not sure if they are on the same schedule though this year. I feel for you because I was in your position last year in terms of re-taking the April MCAT. I found out that I was wailisted the Friday before the MCAT. So, I guess what I am saying is hang in there buddy and study like crazy because Umass is sooo slow. On the bright side if they follow the same pattern as before, we may know soon!
slb830 said:Yikes..have you been studying?

Orthodoc40 said:Wow - the Friday before??!!! That's a nightmare I have been hoping to avoid... So, did you re-take? I mean, you can't get a refund at that point, and a waitlist is no guarantee... Yuck. It helps to know I'm not the only one who suffered through this, though....
MedChef said:Yes, I did re-take it which was a good decision because I never got off that waitlist. Getting that waitlist made me even more determined and I brought my MCAT up a few points. I got into a couple other schools this time around, but I am waiting it out to see whether or not Umass is gonna be a heartbreaker....for the third time in a row.
wilson bitt said:Does anybody have a clue as to how many acceptances are out at this point? Are the 100 out yet, and they are just going to waitlist/reject now in preparation for the 40-50% of those original 100 who don't end up accepting their spots? Some of us have been waiting for so long that intuitively it feels like the only chance now is the waitlist. Agree? Disagree?

stressed522 said:bump. any news?
windzilla said:since I decided not to check my status at all (as opposed to every 3 hours) my stress level has gone way down.
Something about feeling rejected just a little bit when my status hasn't changed made the decision to wait until mail arrives the more prudent choice.
JDWflash44 said:I've been waiting on UMass since september, although my interest is fading fast. I think waitlists will come out in the next few weeks followed by rejections after that. As soon as I get my Financial Aid package from Pittsburgh I think I will be withdrawing, but I'm waiting to see what they give me.
Good Luck
Jim

slb830 said:I haven't been able to access the Umass status site for the past few hours?
Anyone else having difficulties?
Flyfisher said:yeah I can't log access it either. it gets so part of the pages is loaded but its not any content, just the upper tool bar. I noticed this last night and just checked again.
I was hoping it was a sign that i was in. (full scholarship maybe too)
Orthodoc40 said:Congrats, HH!! Enjoy Yale & New Haven! And make sure to wear your Sox gear with pride down there - close to empire territory...
Hebrew Hammer said:I'll be strutting my red sox gear with pride!! I can't wait for the first sox-yanks series.

MedChef said:Hey all. I just wanted to let you know that I receved a waitlist letter via snail mail today
ON the bright side, my medical school application process is over and I have chosen a medical school ! On the not so bright side, receiving that waitlist letter still hurts.
Best of luck to everyone else!

blueicyrose said:Where do you live medchef? The area, so that we can figure out delivery time. Looks like if we dont get one of those letters in a few days, rejection letters will follow. Story of my life.

Orthodoc40 said:Anybody else get a waitlist letter from them? Am I the only one left out?
windzilla said:nope, I too have heard nothing yet. They may not send everything out all at once for the waitlist, so take heart.
Hari Kari said:I was told on Thursday, by the head of the PhD program, that there wasn't going to be anything going on in terms of med school acceptances until May 15th. I guess that means that you just need to sit tight for the time being. Remember, no news is good news.

HC05nmd said:So I don't understand...UMass is not sending out acceptances until May 15th? So how does that work in terms of decision making? If I decide on one school that I'm already accepted at, and then on May 15th by some chance I get into UMass, how long do I get to decide which I am going to? Seeing as I am not supposed to hold more than one spot after May 15th.
Flyfisher said:No news here.... I was away for the weekend and really hoping i would have something in the mail from friday or saturday but no.
sleepless in somerville
FrannyGlass said:Hi,
I got a waitlist letter on Friday. I live in Northampton. How bad is it to be on the waitlist? Does anyone know what the odds are of getting in off the waitlist?
Flyfisher said:You guys that got waitlist letters last friday, when did you interview?
