LETSGOOO
SO HYPED
Probably tbh
Do u know percent of getting into isenburg?
I wish
Is it less compatible than cs
Uh probably slightly easier than Manning
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
THE NEXTWAVE IS TOMORROW I DIDNT THINK IT WOULD BE SO SOON😭
cs is like ~30% i believe
oh ok not that bad
only nursing has an acceptance rate into the teens
mfs keep forgetting this is a safety school
watch me still get rejected tho
30% is not high enough to consider umass a safety for comp sci😭
prolly a target but not safety
rip ✌️😔
its OG acceptance rate
60%
avg stats as well are important to look at
they're not at all high
yea the average stats make umass a safety for some
how much do ecs matter to them
me personally umass in general is a low target bc safeties to me are schools with over 70% AR
cuz my stats are ok but my ecs are dogshit
wait i forgor what major i applied to
the avg sat was a 1460
avg gpa 3.62
SAT avg is high no doubt
but that GPA is low
tldr ec’s are important to them
So anyways
yea im getting rejected
if you have a 1460+ and 3.62+ you're getting in more likely than not
and that's a really attainable score/gpa
my sat is dogshit for cs but gpa is fine
apparently umass cs looks for high math grades, esp in pre-calc
yea they do
i have a B+ in my last sem of precalc
all my other math grades are A tho
incl BC sem 1
eh a b+ should be fine tbh
i had a C in geometry sophomore year 💀
bruh
but i had an A+ in precalc and alg 2
L
A- in calc 🤷🏾♀️
geometry is too damn hard for no reason
bruh my ap physics teacher doesn't teach so im stuck on a lot
and we r still on unit 2
i will have to self study 😭
same for my ap bio teacher
same
dawg the ap exam is in like 4 months
what im saying
my other ap classes r in like unit 5-6 and this man has us on unit 2
tbh i could’ve skipped geometry and did fine in precalc/alg 2
cuz ik ppl with C’s in geometry that have like B+/A’s in ap calc
my school went pass fail second semester freshmen year
proving a taht something is a triangle when we could see it with our own eyes. pain
cant relate i started freshmen year with a 2.8
now it’s a 3.7
well colleges do like to see improving
many don't even care much about freshman yr anyways
yea colleges love upward trend
literally what’s carrying me fr
watch me not get my decision back tomorrow
what carrying me is demographics lol
what state are u guys from
mass
or states ig
my b- in precalc would not go over well 💀
kentucky 😭
huh? really
yea ut is crazy
don;'t ur gpa just have to fit like top 6-9%
if ur an auto admit you are admitted into the school but not necessarily your major
^^
oh
they're most likely releasing their first major batch this friday
hoping and praying
someone from my school got into ut austin for comp sci oos last year
so it's a no that cs will be in the 2nd wave?
literally how
i thought they said yes?
she had like ivy level stats and ec’s but didn’t like any of invites except cornell (rejected ed)
tmr? what lets go
for ea i think
fr
may the odds be ever in your favor
same but im not worried abt purdue
my app was so bad that it's a guaranteed rejection
after this i have northeastern
no more ea schools?
wait neu releasing this week too?
yea i heard back from all my ea schools in december except umass and northeastern
nah not until last week of jan probs
i applied to safeties/targets ea and reaches rd
apparently neu received 150k apps in total
u said what
150k
that uc level
idk how believable that number is since last year they only got 91k total
how many did ucla get
like 149k last year
listen someone told me neu got 150k apps but i don’t think it’s that high
i’m guessing it’s over 100k
for sure
umass has like 30k so pretty insane number for even neu
i’m so nervous
no me too
its kind of a safety for me but also its so good for cs that im scared imma get rejected
Idk for me UMass cs might be a target but UMass as a whole is probably a safety
yeah same
yeah its cheap which is amazing but its also a great school
umass as a whole is a safety/low target but cs is prolly a target and maybe a very small reach
plus best food in the nation 😍
UMass cs has like a 30 percent acceptance rate right
yeah
SAME
i would NOT wanna go to a school with these mfs again for another 4 years and have to see their faces
exactly
if i get in for cs i’ll consider it if it’s much cheaper than my other options
but listen we are both in-state too so fingers crossed we get in still
🤞🤞
if i don’t get in for cs i’ll take it as a sign that i’ll get into a better school because i feed into my delusions so much
after umass the rest of my schools i haven’t heard back from r reaches
ive only heard back from 2 schools but they are very very low safeties like it was just to get in somewhere but i havent heard back from schools i would like going to yet
and its driving me insane
yepp😭
it’s driving me insane
if when bu and neu accepts me next month and runs me a fat aid package i will jump for joy
Oh u applied bu Ed 2
yea
gl to you too!
it would be a slay birthday present to get into bu ed2 but i’ll have umass/rd’s in case
CS is tomorrow but
exciting :)
All CS applicants would be there?
from my understanding everyone who applied for CS will hear back on the same day, as it is with other majors. (apart from ppl who get deferred i think)
I gotta wait for my parents to get home before I can even look 😭
Thanks for all guys, for keeping this thread alive from discord to reddit, love u all ❤️
of course
Could have the decision waiting and won’t be able to look at it for a while
WE ARE THE FUCKING FLAGSHIP. WE ARE THE FUCKING UMASS MINUTEMEN.
best of luck to everyone, i wholeheartedly mean it :)
I'm so excited ahhh
Is tomorrow only CS coming out?
i think they said business is too
yes
umass doesn't yield protect, right?
umass doesn’t defer
they do but not as much as you’d think
to what extent? I have a 1580 and 3.95 but i made my essays as specific to umass as possible 😭
are you instate or oos
oos
then ur fine
ah ok ty for clarifying
yea it’s bc umass is considered a lot of ppls backup school for instate students
ahh okay that makes sense
ohh
thank you!
if ur oos ur not getting yield protected
wait but i swear i’ve seen someone get deferred from umass before. are you sure?
i’m not doubting you, just confused
ah alr
Even for OOS?
i think unc is the same for ea
i wish there was a way to tell umass that they are my top choice
virtual info sessions, tours (if possible,) and also they flat out ask “is umass your top choice” when you sign up to be on their mailing list
don’t overthink about it if you didn’t do any of those though
demonstrated interest isn’t a huge factor, it is pretty small in the grand scheme of things for most colleges the size of umass
keg flip in minute man costume
All of them or just some?
the rep that came to my school told me DI doesnt matter or count at all
source???
nor do they look at it
official insta account for umass admissions
they commented it
oh thank god
i didnt get an official tour so it kinda helps me
someone that went to my hs and attends umass showed me around and it was soo much better
insta
prob why its my top choice
food is great, the population and campus is a perfect size for me, buildings are modern,
business is good
did you do an informal tour/visit ?
the dorm skyskrapers kinda suck tho ngl
yea
nice same
it’s funky i like the campus
plus i’m used to the weather up here which is smth a lot of oos umass ppl complain about lol
dorm skyscrapers?
brick buildings goofy
its also why i dont like ucla campus
atleast their main campus
everything around UCLA is so nice
they already banned internal transfer for isengerg
r u applying rd
they dropped at 3pm est i think last wave
Hm ok
breakdown?
nooo that’s when i go to work 💀💀💀
730 math 630 reading
Yea
that’s sooo evil umass
ur in range for umass in general but prolly not for cs bc of ur reading
i regret submitting my 1300🫣😵💫
i would submit anyway it’s still a pretty good score tbh
Is it competitive for comp sci tho?
math for sure
math yes english no
I got a 3 in ap csp 🥹
!!
Is it worth sending it 🥹
umass rd is due sunday right
english is still in range though so i wouldn’t worry too much honestly umass isn’t at the level where they block below a 600
Yes
^^^
Yeah but computer science is like the hardest major to get into
I also have a 4.5 weighted
it’s not
Nursing
it’s mid hard tbh
this has me nervous now
I looked at some statistics isn’t the average sat score like a 1420 for comp sci?
nursing is competitive by demand but by SAT score 💀 i have my doubts
i applied for the nursing program but test optional 💀
sat scores are only considered on the common data set soo
umass nursing is honestly a hidden gem idk why the a2c prestige crowd doesn’t go for it more
nursing in general is super competitive
hiii anyone wanna show me what their supps looked like… i’m trying to edit my ones for rd rn
also i doubt a lot of people lurking a2c are going for nursing
i dont see many nursing majors on a2c tbh
cs is so popular on a2c
it’s all cs, engineering, or premed
it’s crazy we are all gonna hate ourselves for this
Do I submit my sat score or not
i’m a prospective cs major but i’m a URM and female yay women in stem
I’m so conflicted rn it’s insane
if its in the range they look for then yes, if not then no
yes do it
wait until umass cs drops and see
just rawdog it just go umass loves everyone
i’m going with yes bc i submitted my lower sat score and hoping for the best
Do you get your decision tmr?
apparenly
fuck
good luck amii
whats your major
Comp sci
you're applying rd?
Yes
good luckkk
if cs is dropping tmr then i’ll get my decision then bc they’re dropping all cs decisions then apparenly
okay everyone just put their sat score and all that shit in your name atp i feel like i’m in a time loop
🤞🤞🤞
Thank youuu
nah i don’t need to get roasted in a2c for my mid sat score
mines probably worse than yours dw
its below 1100.........
but it’s a ||1300, 650EBRW, 650M||
What’s your major @coarse jacinth
it’s okay they spent all that time retaking they never got into The First Terrible Relationship, so karmically their evil will be punished
cant wait
nursing 😀
ahhh good luck!
my first time was a 1190 dw
praying for the best
So is switching to engineering hard at UMass
sat humbled me real quick
glad to know you pray necrophelia
yes but not impossible
LOL
my highest score was 1060 and everytime i retook it, it got lower 😭
i need to change my username
thank u sm i really need it
no keep it i enjoy it
anytimeee
Ah
no its c ute
honestly if your academic advisor hooks you up with the transfer you’d be fine
I appreciate it 🥹
real
Tbh then I’ll probably not go to UMass but if I do get in it’s the highest ranked cs school I’ve gotten thus far
my act was a 22
they have a really interactive guidance system
same here
whats your first choice
what’s everyone’s stats looking like 👀
I have four gold stars
mid
Cs lmao
Me too 😞
they’ve got amherst and smith nearby though you could honestly take the math classes there
i suspect i’ll get shit oos aid lmao
amherst aid is ermmm…good luck to oos 💀
even for ppl who live in new england? damn
yeah so maybe i should just submit these supps as is without editing much LMAO i doubt i’d be able to go
financially
wait @exotic jay did you also apply to bu and neu bc I remember someone had that in their bio i don’t remember who
Wait you can take classes at smith?
yea unless you apply to a specific program that qualifies you to get instate tuition
yeah umass lowell is much better for aid and you can get an apartment for cheap in town your first year so it’s better but also amherst is fancier so 😭
yes it was me lmaoo but so did a lot of ppl
5 collage consortium stacked tbh
oh shii did you hear back from any of them yet?
nope
i applied there too 😭 i hope i get into at least one of them
ed2 for neu 💪
i hear from them next tho
ripp
i should’ve applied to lowell
GOOD LUCK
it doesnt seem as popular as amherst but idk
they have less students than amherst
CAS is shit though
i think they have good nursing eng and cs
same with boston
i should’ve applied to umass lowell and boston
it’s a nice place though they have a lot of green energy and gardens
for real the food they grow on campus is 😻😻😻
160 ppl from my high school applied to umass Amherst vs 7 to lowell 💀💀
wait have you tried it
are u from mass? thats a lot of ppl 💀
yes
what about boston and dartmouth
lemme check but somewhere in the single digits
wait lowell is like 20
boston is like 7
no one has applied to dartmouth in like 3 years
my aunt has a business that helps colleges transfer to green energy and we visited lowell privately ^.^
thats soo cool
for reference my senior class has 300 students
also my school is technically a neu feeder bc we send like 20 kids there a year
i had a good friend who's a postdoc at umass boston and i feel bad i won't apply there because their undergrad program is so bad
yea my mom did nursing at umass and dropped out bc it was too expensive
Bro I’m genuinely so scared I’m not gonna get into any colleges
did you apply to neu too
yes
bro me too
I only got accepted into wentworth and umass lowell
same but i’m feeding into my delusions
hope youll be one of those 20 this year 🙏
im gonna cry
like 46 ppl from my school get accepted and 20 go each year
woah
out of 90-100 or so who apply
2 acceptances!! thats great
Same 2 arm
Atm
Hopefully UMass makes 3
congrats
so far one deferral and 3 acceptances
i only have 1 so far 😀
which school deferred you
but the schools i got into gave me shit merit aid
georgetown
U as well. They certainly make us feel better going into decisions for better school
yes true its better than 0 acceptances
Bing gave me none
Thank you thank you
i’m sorry i’m not paying $50k yearly after your $5k merit aid sCholarShip
From where
5K? that college is so stingy
gtown deferral, accepted into temple, college of charleston and suffolk
it’s 5k yearly but still
temple and cofc are stingy asl
Ahh nice nice
i haven’t received my aid package from any of my acceptances yet tho
got into suffolk honors and they gave me $20k per year
my school has 382 as of now 😭
for amherst
I got a 1220 on my sat 😭 so I had to go optional on all my colleges
3:18 can u come faster
BRUH MY AUDACITY

just some courses and research labs
and there's a professor's research that i'm particularly interested in
umass informatics cant be too bad, its just cs + some other stuff
3:18 pm est
lolol so exact
bro don't go down to the minute
and ty
yeah about 3-3:30
ill be eating a fiya lunch
if shit becomes sad ill bomb my school
/s
perfect 🥲
always a good approcach
my question exactly lmao^
Eastern?
yep
DECAAAAA
DECA BABY
deca op fr
Deca is Ong the best extracurricular out there 💯
well that what i seen on the reddit thread but yeah 3-3:30
FBLA 💪
they said it bc that's when it released last wave but it was obv random and not intentionally :18
about to get attacked for saying FBLA>
if you're going to intentionally release at an exact minute you'll do a round number or start of hour not 18
so it was obv when the dude handling the portal decided to press push
Boi
So many colleges do that
no colleges that say an exact time always release at a round number
why would you intentionally tell teh system yo push this at 12:18
it doesn't make sense
I think it’s northeastern or northestwrn that release it at a really specific minute because in 24hr time it’s the year the college started
ok but thats diff
could be soemthing special to the school
why don't arab unis release at 9:11 then
not mit 😭
MIT too. Like their decisions were like 17th December so they released them At exactly 12:17
MIT is a nerd school they dont count
Man you need to chill
dawg😭
By no means is that valid it’s a sad attempt at a rhetoric qn you’re not smug you’re annoying
no its literally valid you're j pressed
if you find me annoying you're free to leave
in no way is this valid
Lmao eat bricks
💀 cya
Bro fr got no chill
nah u don't know how funny this shit is
mfs get pressed so fast
i can say anything
To you maybe yeah
Doesn’t mean you should
9/11 isn't something u joke about tho
im middle eastern, yes it is
the amt of times i've been patriot act'd and secondary screened def allows me to make fun of it
Forget it lmao man thinks he’s hella smug . Just an avg A2Cer trying to fit in
Don’t bother responding to the guy
He says as he’s joined the server
never denied it for myself
And participated quite actively in it
Way past your bed time
🤨
too far
fr
Lmao
im not even gonna turn 18 til college
same but thats bc early grad
Nah I’d hurt you too bad
Mf you are in another country

In front of the Isenberg school of business and management
dwai
i have my ways
i've succesfully started a fight in every channel im active in i think
im gonna have to turn on notifications
Lmao f
also where
purdue
im gonna unironically add this to google calendar
picking fights in here is easy tbh
buying a flight to isenberg rn
unironically no troll i will
the case western thread 💀
what is this
i've had my google account for 9 years alr another 13 is nothing
is it the 32 bit timestamp thing
Anyways what major you in?
CS?
Best of luck
cs gang
Nah lmao
imagine not being cs
3:18 pm
Lmaooo same
why was this the weirdest argument ever
why tf is 2036 only 13 years away now
where did u find this in the portal
It’s in my application
i still think it's 20+ years away subconsciously
it’s the common app pdf
thanks
commonapp
no problem
that was the strangest argument i have ever witnessed
u need to see all my args
so all of u guys were stalking
i do love that it’s nice to see commitment
my unis are gonna love this dedication to creating an impact on the server
not a positive one
but an impact nonetheless
start a arg next time with "u need to touch grass"
i should
demonstrated interest in being a hater ❤️

nooo nooo yield protection is just sitting there waiting to be exploited
sorry mods sorry i apologize….
bro mf so nerdy he finna get yield protected by Yale 😭
Who
mf
Thanks
um yeah…mit actually yield protected me totally haha
mhm mhm
i could have revolutionized their women’s studies department.
Wait was a second choice required
was that even an opt
Idk if I chose a 2nd choice or not
i dont remember picking one
there was an option fs
Choose rizzology. Something we all lacking here
Some schools forced me to pick another major in a DIFFERENT school. Like bro I’m applying for business and u making me choose some other random thing
nah
I have accidental rizz. It slips when I don’t want it to. But it works
choose Sexology
it sounds like rizz
but its actually being a mad hater to get bitches
Minnesota twin cities
Like wtf
that's why they call me the CEO of Sexology
wow
they do call you that i’ve heard it
Luckily one of the schools had economics as a part of the school of sciences lol
wait did i have a second choice major
U have what I call a harizzment
I feel like 2nd choices are traps and they’ll give u ur 2nd choice to make room for others
I only ever chose 1 if I was allowed
I will kill my self if I don’t get Isenberg
im indecisive so i always go to like the third choice
Some schools ask if u wanna study abroad on the commonapp- also a trap
is engineering also in isenberg
have you ever watched american psycho
Some schools will admit u only to a study abroad freshman year
This I agree
im considering a dual degree + dual major for each
Multiple times ik ik
School of Biz for Finance & Biz Admin then Manning for CS + DataSci
no like fr 😭 why they trying to tie us down
study abroad is scary
It’s fun but not when schools force u to do it freshman year in order to attend 😭
i dont see the point like at all
Florence is amazing tho go there
i want to travel wo thinking abt school
same
i always choose the study abroad if they offer europe because um. academic reasons unrelated to men with accents
also freshman year study abroad is so bad
Which isn’t even in California
you'll have no friends
yea
Have any of you heard of it? It’s like a fake UC
nah its legit
There’s a Miami university in ohio
😭
Ohio state is massive
I got accepted so yay
best state = new york
well i will bc i applied to only 3 schools in LA
Samee. I haven’t visited I’ll get around to it sometime
best state washington
I wanted to apply to uni of Washington Seattle but I got too lazy when I saw what they wanted from me
Seattle is prob the best city I’ve been to
Penn state
asu no shot
i wanted to apply but their oos acceptance rate is abysmally low
uminn and penn ranking are similar
yo wtf this thread blew up
Which school
ASU carey is oddly good for biz and better for SoCal
but like thats j biz
and i would not be caught at asu
prob bc decisions tommorow or somemthing
penn state would be the best no?
udub
it cant be that easy right
Then u got Kentucky having me do precomputer science first year
Wtf
ive heard of premed
tf u mean precs
guys does umass amherst give schlorships
Yeah like I have complete that then become official cs in soph yr
ooh. then its gonna be rlly cheap
its 16k per year scholarship
but u dont know if theyll give you or not
moneymoneymoney blah blah blah
im getting 100k debt at the least unless i get into an ivy
That’s what I need
i applied ed2 to a 40k a year school 😭
im gonna try to see the finicial package first
nahhhhhh
i applied to 25 schools
do not depend on crying poor
WHAT
i applied to 29 get rammed
I applied to 17
i applied to only 10
yes
YO THATS WHATS UP IDEK
I prob said this yesterday
did u apply EA
Alright boys time to sleep
yes
usc is hard imo
My school naviance is WACK for USC
we'll see next fri
There’s ppl getting into USC with a 25act and a 90 average and then there’s the 105 average and 36 act
Why
bc we're a LA public HS
Pls
oh bruh thats wild idk
yeah same
me too
wdym usc is public
I want naviance to show test optional stats lol
That’s pretty damn random
me when 1780 SAT
i have niche
Business ECs >>>
on naviance, one college only admited 2 students from my school. does it mean our school is blacklisted lol?
yk whats not
the piece of shit who get denied w a 0.01 gpa above me
it's basically random
Oh that’s zoomed in
💀
My school only has weighted
if you squint and can't see a separated blob for reject and accept then the scatterplot is basically useless
Wym by this
i.e. scatterplots are useless for reaches
less rejects reported than accepts
like proportionally
if 100 ppl get rejected and 100 ppl accepted
Oh the website niche?
Ima check my naviance one sec
*most
are you trying to cheat your imaginary Umass ED?
naviance is the only one close to being accurate
Can you pay those 80k?
my gpa isnt 3.4 wtf
No point in even checking naviance if I’m test optional
Prob not lol
i get 30k aid
If I get in I prob won’t go
yes there is
gpa is reported too
that’s honestly the most important, just in front of testing
why did u apply
that could've been my spot
and often it’s pretty easy to see who got in while reporting vs not reporting
safety?
do you guys use collegevine to calculate the chances of getting in the college?
no
yea
o I thought they were talking about umass
Because if I get in I’ll be looking into what I can do to go. I meant as in financially is an expensive school but if I get in or get aid it’s a diff story
yea financially ur in for a rough time
this is marginally better
link please
Will schools not like that my school doesn’t do unweighted gpa
ok but you need to make an account
probably but they wont hold it against u
Shii
can u see what it says w a 1500 I want to see what my stats are
more so they'll be annoyed on finding out how to convert it back
Idek what my gpa is on 4.0 scale
it wont hurt u
They don’t tell us
we have same gpa
check my pics
despite of this, I believe I'm not getting in because I'm intl and my ecs are shit compared to most of yours
^
Who ping
im intl
How can I see what the 4.0 gpa scale is relative to my grade outta 100
oh sick
Yeah
can u dual maj tho
Idk
Ik my weighted gpa I’m tryna find out to see it out of 4.0
🙏
93-96 is a 4.0?
idk
this is umass?
Wait does umass allow double major in the same school
Ik some schools don’t allow that
yes
same and diff
Dope
I think a bunch of classes can cross over anyway
they will
Which is cool ig
I don't think doing double major, as an Intl who will start with 0 credits, kind of hard...
Like at Syracuse I heard for business u basically have to double major bc it’s just too ez
im forced to double major everywhere from what i can see
the CC credits wipe out too much
What’s cc
community college
community college credits
Ohh
i like how the hype has died down once we know when decisions are coming out
I'm scared
I’m so pissed I’m taking a bunch of classes that give me credits and none of them will cross over lol
me too
im RD anyway
don't want to make fake illusions
I might get elective credits but electives are fun
What’s the point in only taking boring classes
being rejected is pretty real
Imma get rejected fr fr
what
never heard of that case on reddit
starting with 0 credits
this is the only thing giving me hope
why the umass scatterplot so small
