oh my
lets see
~50
actually no
~45
cause i have two portfolios and i did 3 of the ones i counted
my bad
im so behind
tbh
loll
holy shit man
college essays are like therapy for me
good luck
thank you :))
what
idk i like writing them
i get to learn a lot about myself
nah i get to put my anger towards my essays
theyve helped me come to terms with a lot of my insecurities
oh thats really cool
i write well out of sheer rage and anger
BRO I BE FUCKING SCREAMING AT CORNELL WHY I WANNA ATTEND THEIR SCHOOL
YKW IM SAYIN
doing college essays just made me realize i should probably start journaling
AHH SWEAR TO GOD MAN
LIKE WYM WHY DO I WANNA ATTEDN YO COLLEGE
HAVE YOU SEEN YO COLLEGE
me when UCF fr
I started it! nothing formal, just a google keep note on random days where i sorta summarize how im feeling, everything thats happened since the last entry, and also the song im listening to at that moment
ahh i still gotta write that one
once thats done i'll be all set with my cornell app
you should totally write down your thoughts
its amazing
helps me get to sleep a lot of times when i cant
thats really cool
aw thank u
Nah i bottle them up and then when I need to write something I go full scorched earth ykwis
and whats really weird? i can read older entries and just see how i've evolved, in both writing style and just my personal situation
i did this for a bit last year and recently i found the couple entries i did and it was like a wave of past emotions hit me, gonna start doing it again real soon
i dont know how to describe it, but its almost euphoric
like when you wrote something when you were feeling like shit
six months ago
I am also waiting for Umass Amherst
and you read it again like wow bitch i came so far
🥰 same
i found one from right after i got a 3.0 weighted at the end of 10th grade and i wrote about how my goal was a 3.8 for next semester and i managed to surpass that in the end 💪
aww!
im so proud of u for that
congrats :))
ty!!
i do that by reading through old discord convos but yeah ive felt that effect too
oh wow congrats :)
similar boat with me, my depression was peaking and my grades fell off last year and i started writing; this semester im looking at a 4.0 UW and im so much healthier mentally!
even my college counselor didn't know what to make of my grade trend lol
awesome!!!
youre built fkin different
wow thats so good to hear, congrats :)
thank you, you too 
i hope northeastern auto admits you
haha<3 i appreciate that
i love that school with my heart like unironically
that price tag killin me though
umass killing me tho
LOL
i hope you get a really good scholarship there
aww ❤️
manifesting massive Ws for you(mass)
same for you
nah nothing just didnt realize
how do you afford his
lmao
@fallen remnant are you indian too?
its like 2.5k
i saved it up through internships and shit thankfully
please
its the stupidest form of financial independence
but it makes me feel good about myself
this is honestly more valuable to me
like apply only to half as many schools
i would have spent that money on bribing umass Amherst to rELEASE DECISIONS EARLIER
ayy desi gang
Ik but please let me have this man 😭😭
thats good to hear
what time is it for you
ah, west coast
yep!
almost 3 am 💀
got physics test tmrw 😭
yeah, i'll prob wrap up soon and sleep
thank you :)
yo bro
👋
absolutely not
No
umass is quite famous int'l
almost all us applicants from my school have also applied to umass
are you an international?
especially cs
where are you from?
im a us citizen living in india
so oos for admissions purposes
oh wow
yeahh
Stay strong 🤩.
i go to a public hs in ma and i tell u like 50% of the senior class every year commits here
I would like to invite the members of this thread to a party where we shall drink copious amounts of antifreeze to end the suffering once and for all
Let's go
ong
damnn
Anyone here?
Them ED peeps are stressed out there
Us UMass peeps on the other hand
WHAT THE FUCK
Nvm
Whoopsies
Sipper what’s your top college
guys
apparently umass dropped for some schools
some people got their decisions back
bruh mine didnt
Wdym for some schools
Where are you getting this bloody information
What the fuck
Bro i need something
It’s 12 35 at night
I’m not able to sleep
out of curiosity, what major did your daughter apply as? (purely curious but also wondering if major is a factor in when they release the decisions bc of competitiveness)
people got it
IM SCARED
they do email right, when it will be out?
only in state i think
I see
i’ve had friends talking about it
omg lemme check
not even all instate
don’t worry you’ll get it!!! someday…
i havent got yet
me either lmao but i applied for engineering so i don’t expect to till jan
i did cs so def will find out in jan
yea
surprising in the email said that engineering isn’t the most competitive
i have nothing
i applied for bio i think
Wait, umass said that intl and domestic were on the same wave, so what does that mean
That they are releasing first in-state
NE engineering kids tend to go for WPI and RPI tbh so that’s probably why
which is lucky for me 💀
yea ik i live in mass

Ppl got in??
apparently?
someone on cc got in
idk what major but def not cs or biz
Guys
There’s a possibility
that
That the first wave just came and went
LOL
And none of us were part of it
AHAHAA
I want to kms
suicide pact? /j
threads
lemme check
people being like **my son got in!! 😻 **
yup i didn’t
does anyone’s portal say this
i almost showed y’all my entire address 💀💀
ok just making sure
mine says the same
Mine says same
jesus christ
well fml
who wants to be annoying and comment on their instagram
when are decisions coming out
wait so when r we thinking
Congrats for fordham btw
I cant with your pfp, so sweet
Goddamn UMass responded to my request to withdraw FAST
2 minutes
But they don’t have time to send out decisions 😔
LOL
I am officially out of this game but wishing you all the best of luck!!

I’m ED kid too
but I think I have a shot at umass
There was no chance I was getting bro I applied CS 💀
I didn’t realize how competitive it was until after I submitted lol
I applied cs too
Good luck!!
u too
CS gang rise up 🤝🤝🤝
congrats on brandeis!!!
Ty!!
Mostly done but I still gotta apply to yeshivahs for my gap year so I’m not totally in the clear yet 😔 Jewish moment
no same
they are fr taking their sweet time 😭
do we know when they are expecting to release decisions? i know folks have heard they would release before the holidays and with Hanukkah being the 18th i feel like it's got to be today or tomorrow at least for the first batch
i assume they mean christmas holidays
so prolly next week?
So what r y’all predicting next week?
yea i didn't get it yet
So I got rejected from nyu ed, so hey umass ea 😉 can't wait for it to come out!
Its gotta be tonight or tomorrow night. Right? Right?
i really hope its tonight
i hope once i get rejected from cornell i get into umass if it's tonight LMAO
would the first decision wave only be Massachusetts residents ?
sadly i doubt its tonight
they literally got 4k more applicants and are delaying decisions by 2 weeks like what
UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
fr
where did they say that
why are so many people applying i didnt know state schools were so popular
i dont mean it in a bad way im genuinely curious
in an email to guidance counselours they said that they had over 28k applicants this year
they didnt say the delay part
but obviously decisions are delayed
cuz we aint got em
apparently umass amherst commented on one of their posts saying "we will be posting updates on our socials when waves are released" so if we don't see a social media update it's not released
Thank you!
Quick question for yall cs applicants
I wanted to apply to the ba program but i completly forgot which one I selected lmao, on my pdf it just says computer science, same for yall ?
(Jeez 32k applicants? Guess im not getting in)
same
bye colby :(
I hope those fuckers burn in the seventh circle of hell
Every single misery, enacted on them with no sense of respite
And when they finally think they have a chance of escape
God damn it man.

i hoot umass rejects those prankers
well it seemed fake because they'd announce on the umassadmissions ig when decisions are released
i believe i applied to the ba program. mine just says computer science.
Cool thx!
why does umass think it’s so special? RELEASE UR EAS
Wait what happened on this chat? I was sleeping
are yall in state
yes
cool
no im from ct
no
nopee from nj
nope nj
nope ny
yep in state
In state.
new joisey
nah i’m from the beloved state of texas 💀
MA is a big change from Texas omg
i had a friend move up from texas a couple years ago and she’s still coping 😭😭
with the cold?
the cold and the wet 😞 she loves it up here otherwise
skill issue tbh!
lmaooo yeah 💀
i’m from north texas so we get a fair amount of rain just not during summer but yea the cold will be the death of me 😭
Naw oos Washington state
I’ve heard UMass is super competitive but on their website it says they have a 67 percent acceptance rate or smth
depends on major. engineering nursing business and cs are competitive the others aren’t very
Im from france
nj gang
bro...
india
to ma
😭
mumbai's heatstrokes are the only thing i've experienced
our cold is your warm😭😭
Cold > warm, you'll see
i love warm
im weird but i hate grey skies and white snow
its too monotonous for me
and depressing
....so why are you applying in mass 😭
i'll manage
its not like i cant live in the cold, i preferably wouldnt like to live in the cold😭
We can’t screw our future due to weather
precisely
Yea but I mean, there are equivalent schools with warmer weathers, although I understand your point
again, why i applied to six UCs
this^
but i feel that 500 aqi might also be a contributing factor in my hate
Makes more sense lmaoo
i only care abt these three tho
did you penn state EA or RD
other than ut austin and uwash
our list is same
i have 25 schools
i applied ea but submit srar and sat a bit late so idk
woah
i did 12 schools in ea + will do a few in canada
ah ok
did u get decision for penn state ?
yup
Usc gang
heyyyyy
accepted to university park
when did u apply ?
oh same date i did
srar a bit late as i had an imp event on 3rd nov
sat got sent on 16 nov 💀
are you waiting for an email from them?
fkn cb takes a week to e-send a 1 page pdf
checking the portal every 2 hours
lmao
- mail ever y2 hours
same for me
dont bother they dontsend
for any other unis
such as umass or ut
rest are in jan
only caltech i got
Umass is getting comfy ngl
same, taking advatange of us
i mean why cant they say all decisions out on x date
no need to keep us in suspense with this waves shit
Fr
Plus they got lots of more apps so we know it's gonna be a massacre again
At this point ima just repeat 12th grade to max out my transcript lmao
i am highly relying on umass to be an acceptance
omg what hapened
lmao
i wanna do 9th grade again for the ecs
and 10th too ig, 11th for the grades
just do high school again
Yea me too 😦 it's the school which has the highest acc rate that I applied for yet
i will if my batch comes with me
wont do with juniors, they are shady asf
Fr I would love to redo hs but in the U.S
the things they do.......
i wanted to as well but only in a good school district
have heard horror stories about underfunded schools
if its a hs from netflix, imma go to it
I mean if you go in a bad one thats a bonus for your admissions
well, the 4 years of hs matter too, so ig its a game of balance
At this point I want USC to be like in OP varsiety...IM FULL PAY LEMME IN
Yea but you're smart, so ez 4.0
now
yeah good point
i so want to go to usc
like its so beautiful
and like its not a stem school
which is good
And the program is awesome
currently all my friends are stem ppl
And the school spririt is great
and most stem schools have terrible diversity
Are you?
Facts
yea 😂
ikr
thats why i want diversity
same
Same
i will prolly do smthg with eco/business
But not asian so ig thats a bonus
if i want to be surrounded by asians, why spend 85k a year
Did u apply to csba in usc?
As in Computer Science and Business Administration, not bachelor of arts
no
i am doing vse
computer science bs
but i might add eco as a minor or double major
Cool yea
really depends on if i like eco in college too (did only ap macro/micro) rn
23rd of jan aye, not too far away
and on tech layoffs
Oh you had AP's? Thats cool
in between which i have 2-3 rounds of exams, practicals
did on my own
i am in cbse (indian national board) so not in school
Nice, I wanted to too but the american school of paris only lets its students sit for the tests
ohhh, lucklily 2 centers in delhi ncr
1 opened up just 2 years back
another this year only
same
colleges will recognize tho if u cant even take aps
they will look at ur courseload
wait no act/sat centres in paris?
Only 2 for the whole country, one being in Paris
And we have like 5 sat centers
we have more in my city 😂
Lmaoo
well imma get back to emi bye
Cyya
when’s it out?
do not.
im finance+cs, indian, male, fucked.
Indian male business+cs
I should probably just withdraw my application now that I think abt it
But is y’all Said 1410 is enough
does anyone know when these will astart rolling in?
Why are so many of you planning on a double major?
It’s not a double major lol
At least for me it isn’t
CS is just my second choice major
If I don’t get business oim I’ve chosen CS as my second
Because i have interest in two subjects that blend in perfectly together
Business and CS? Just seems like more work
I like work
I’m fine with having to switch into my preferred major tbh
u ok bro ?
he aint
Seems like unfocused work. But, that's just my opinion
How so?
Nothing wrong with it
But I just operate under the philosophy of doing one thing instead of many, but really nailing that one thing down.
I WANT UMASS TO ACCEPT ME TO ISENBERG
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Cs and business...unfocused? Nah man they're one so popular that certain colleges have majors that combine the two
Two it's mega useful
YEAH
right
you got MET, M&T
and some really cool integrated majors
guys
im gonna gaslight umass into releasing decisions
by sending them videos of me crying
on the instagram
is this the play
Yes
YES
Idk I was never a fan of those
I only know one guy who graduated with a double major
The rest quit half way thru
And the guy who graduated with it said it wasnt as useful. Cuz he couldn't spend as much time in the one he focused on
Double major nowadays is pretty common, the job market is as hard as the college on elmao
I mean if you DD on smth you don't like obv thats dumb
Idk man, honestly. Though number of degrees doesn't correlate to success in the job market
No thats correct, but having a degree shows you can take the workload
Can you?
Real facts, thats why i wanna attend college in the first place but yea it helps too
I already go to two high schools, ig it'll be nice having less work to do 🙂
That sounds a bit presumptuous
One regular french hs and one online us hs
Latter is pretty easy tho
It's like a demanding ec
why an online us hs?
It seemed like a great way to improve my english
Plus you don't know how good yall have it in hs, ours is a prison
yeah us kids have it good
openly making out, fighting with teachers
can never even imagine doing a fraction of this
we have 6 hours
oh good yes
We have 8
having cool teachers
not having to complete notebooks 😂
oh god this
we do none of this euphoria is lying to everyone noooo
the hours are nice but it’s more like 7 haha
the multiple choice tests hit tho fr fr y’all missed out
true
sitcoms and netflix heavily influence our perspective on the us here in india lol
but it definitely is true that most indian parents keep more tabs on their kids than most of the parents in the us
having a s/o is a kind of crime(acc to them and society norms and what not), let alone telling your family about it
its damn weird
its getting less conservative and all for sure but its still pretty shit
guess we just gotta wait for the older generation to die off aye
😭😭
pretty much everyone in india treats going abroad as a release from a prison
which then ends up with kids doing drugs out of their minds
😭😭
oh dear 😭😭
pretty antagonistic effect of the indian parenting style i must say
well on the bright side? you get cheeseburgers when you come here?
that’s our greatest offer
as long as there aint no beef in it💀
we r all about the turkey burgers now
ig this post was a lie huh https://talk.collegeconfidential.com/t/umass-amherst-early-action-for-fall-2022-admission/3549457
University of Massachusetts Amherst offers Early Action for freshman admissions. The Early Action (EA) deadline for Fall 2022 admission at UMass Amherst is November 5. All early action applicants should receive an admissions decision by December 14. Last year, UMass Amherst admitted 15,347 of the 20,440 applicants who applied Early Action. The ...
love turkey
and meat in general
sorry vegans
everyone on college confidential is a dirty liar 😒😒😒
i’m more of a chicken person tbh
trueee
and the only seafood i want is prawns
nothing else
ahhh i love seafood ^.^ especially calamari it’s sooo good
salmon as well
fish 🥰🥰
kingfish too, its just like sea chicken😂
the more like chicken the better
yess
tho deep sea fishes are more like that
and they are usually jacked in cadmium and shit
which should def not go anywhere close to your mouth😭
does anyone know if umass has interviews?
they don’t generally because they’re a big state school i think
Probably cause other people just got into ivies or something slightly better.
Or maybe cause Amherst is in the middle of nowhere.
Idk.
damn
Yeah it depends.
It's a great school but people all over MA tend to apply and then get into other colleges they prefer, and the location is kind of a downside for a few people.
How is this thread so huge lol
we get more impatient every day
this and for in state kids amherst is their safety (unless ur cs/eng/biz/nursing)
Got my last SAT back today, is it possible to email Umass to update them potentially or not worth atp?
Is there a huge improvement?
fr lmao
indian male cs, also fucked
if you would like them to consider it and feel like it would help your application then it might be a good idea
might be a little late since ea decisions are theoretically alr starting to come out
but it wouldnt hurt to send it anyway
20 points, and I’m in state and well over their 50% so I doubt it’s make or beeak
Break*
The location is isolated but overall for a state school not UC or Umich it’s got a great campus
yes the campus is nice but i prefer to be closer to a major city plus i would have to get a car which i don’t have
Apparently they have shuttles to Boston.
So it is easier to deal with somewhat.
that's sick
yep and you can always catch the train that goes in it’s not too bad
what's the instate cs acceptance rate
bro
we fucking love u(mass)
bc half of us are cs/biz students who are dying to know our results
I swear to god
Business CS ftw
UMass Amherst has holidays in 4 days
Decisions before the holidays apparently
So like
WHERE IS IT
when is the admissions office closed
They do it’s just a 80 minute ride
That’s actually pretty fast.
Does anyone actually have a clear date on when UMass goes on holidays
Because if they don’t realease before holidays we can sue for false advertising/j
Dude you’re going to isenberg that ain’t false advertising.
😁😁😁
I’m joking.
😭 can i get a straight response
as opposed to a perhaps homosexual one
HEY
why is this so on point
but ANYWAYS
shit
okay i cant find it
It's alr
Guess i'll find out soon
I heard it was like 30% but idk if that was oos
probably was
@lusty coral okay
so
the information I've found
the total acceptance rate to the manning college of computer and information sciences
is 38.5%
in state and oos combined
lets say that everyone who applied to cics first-choice, applied as Computer Science
the first choice major acceptance rate is 32.9%
so the overall cs rate is probably around/lower than that
can you find something about nursing? if you can
lemme look!
o thank you
yep ❤️
I can barely find any info abt it online
okay @coarse jacinth SO, i cant find in-state vs oos for anything
but i found this
overall acceptance rate to the college of nursing is 20.5%
what majors are in the college of nursing?
Nursing.
is that it
thats what i thought but im just checking lol
because the first-choice acceptance rate to the college of nursing is 14.2%
💀
what a dip
yea nursing is mad competitiv
yepp
Can you find out for Isenberg
sure
yea
Yes
i cant speak on individual majors in the school
but overall isenberg
46.2%
first choice is 41.1%
good luck!
Thanks! You too
appreciate that ❤️
These from the 2022 admissions stats?
fall 22 yep
I just have one thing to tell you
I love you.
ily too <333
And I hope you get in.
All business majors in this thread love you.
<33
🙂
also holy fuck
manning median STARTING salary is $90k
what the fuck
thats amazing
umass is an underrated gem
im so glad i applied without parental consent
and also glad that very few of the high gpa kids from my school care for it much
i might just have a shot :)
cics?
Manning cs
Ah
Isenberg is good too ya
manning cs is so hot bro
literally dream school
vaguely considering rebranding from Northeastern to UMass
jk i would never
its not the highest by any means
but its not low at all lmfao
also salary medians are largely just advertising numbers
really depends on how you capitalize on your college experience
A CICS student with a 3.0 and no internships will likely get a lower starting paycheck than an Isenburg student with like internship experience and a 4.0 lol
Figured
yep
Average salary so yeah
exactly
Thanks!
ofc<3
thats why i never these starting salaries impress me or dissuade me
way too subjective
thank u sm
anytime :) wish you the best!
oh my god 😀😀
fr i applied to a school with a 70% acceptance rate but didnt make it into the nursing program
wait was that you?
endicott i think?
i was lurking in that thread lol 😅
its wild how the job is so in demand rn but this is the state of access
yk
like i get it but also its sorta sad
yes 😭😭
yeah its sad
im worried that i wont even get into my state school 💀💀
thank you 🥺

Damn this might be the longest this thread is quiet
Lmao
I mean no point rn right
It’s like 246 in ma rn
Half the people in this thread + the admissions office is asleep rn
didnt ed anywhere
oh okay
mid December means what
Something that isn’t 15th dec apparently

Dismal state of affairs on UMass Amherst’s side
I love this school
I love Isenberg
I really wanna get in
I’d understand if last year it came out on dec7th and this year like dec 11th to 12th
But it’s really
Really
Making me nervous now
Anyone with me?
I am also very nervous🥹
I am also very nervous🥹
A few months ago I said, umass? a safety for cs. As I researched more and more now I want to go there yes or yes and I am terrified because I will probably get rejected
Same
i originally thought umass was a safety for cs when i applied
then i fell in love with it (i like the location and #2 in the world for my second major (behind only mit))
then i found out it is not
it's more like match right?
yeah
what major
linguistics
Thanks to the 5 college consortium you can even take linguistincs in amherst
