“Plan to Enroll” does not prevent an applicant from being accepted or offered a waitlist position by another medical school. Selecting “Commit to Enroll” for an institution results in AMCAS notifying all medical schools in which the applicant is holding an acceptance or waitlist offer. The expectation of committing to enroll is that the applicant will also follow up in writing with all other schools to withdraw their application from consideration and not entertain any future offers of acceptance or waitlist. UMass Chan Medical School admissions staff will contact applicants who are noncompliant with this requirement.
Once all places in the class have been filled, the remaining applicants will be so notified. Thereafter, a list of alternates will be prepared. In the event that an enrolled student withdraws prior to matriculation, a replacement will be selected from the list of alternates. An applicant placed on the alternate list will be so informed and requested to indicate whether s/he wishes to remain on the wait list.
An applicant who initially accepts a place and later decides to withdraw is expected to inform the Office of Admissions promptly so that another candidate may be offered a position. Withdrawals after acceptances should be processed by the applicant within the PeopleSoft application system.
*April 30th or next business day if 4/30 is a weekend or holiday.
The T.H. Chan School of Medicine at the UMass Chan Medical School discourages granting of deferrals except in cases of medical emergency or events of comparable significance. Requests for deferrals must be submitted directly to the associate dean for admissions and will be considered on an individual basis.
Applicants are expected to notify the Office of Admissions of their decision to withdraw their application from consideration. Applicants can choose to withdraw their application at anytime; prior to a decision being made or after being accepted.
Withdrawals after acceptance should be processed by the applicant within the PeopleSoft application system.
Applicants who have not yet received a final decision can also submit their withdrawal via the PeopleSoft system's Application Action tile. Applicants can also email the Office of Admissions of their decision to withdraw their application, including their AMCAS ID at admissions@umassmed.edu .
