Gotta love unsolicited advice! For anyone else, just wondering what you've been doing re updates, thx.

I uploaded 2 on the portal. One back in October and one last week. Sadly I haven't heard back like AT ALL so I don't think it even matters, at least for my case haha.

does anyone know if we can opt out of purch?
maybe we can hear back sooner?
I'm pretty sure you only get like a week or so to opt out before it goes to the committee. After that, you can opt out after a decision has been made on your file. (Other PURCH applicants - please correct me if I'm wrong)

This is kinda crazy like interviewed 9/27 and no status change whatsoever. Anyone else interview on this day or similar and also haven't heard anything?

Agreed. UMass had the worst interviewers for me also. One of them was straight up an ass, and told me that my research wasn’t “real science,” (direct quote) because it wasn’t bench / wet lab work.

BUT goddamn Purch seems cool and everything else was good.

how did that come up, seeing that it was an MMI
 
Probably a long shot, but does anyone know the timeline of when UMass sends post-II decisions?? Do they tend to send them on a certain day of the week/or on a monthly basis? I’m IS, LM 76, and interviewed 2/16. No A’s yet, 2 WL, and waiting to hear back from 3 more schools (including UMass). I’m definitely prepared for it to take a while before hearing back, but I’m getting pretty antsy lol hopefully sooner rather than later!!

At least two weeks. Other than that, it could be months.

Decisions usually come out on Friday, but there were two(?) Monday As earlier this month.

In terms of antsiness, UMass is not the ideal school to know when you’ll hear back. No clear pattern unlike other schools where you know around when you will hear back.
