and like… it should be a public service not some exclusive commodity
Criiiiinge waitlisted
Fancy asks: were you instate?
some boneheads i know in state got accepted
I know 3 instate people IRL who just got waitlisted cs
The hell is this bruh
whole school got waitlisted for cs
I withdrew last week from 80% acceptance program at UMass
I love west mass
we are not the umass minutemen
we are not the fucking flagship
Just got deferred from u
Rip
Waitlisted?
waitlisted from umass and deferred from northeastern
Same bruh
Can BostonU bring home the W as they’re my last school in MA
@cursive compass did you get deferred
Waitlisted
umich better clutch up
same💓
very much so
Should I write a loci for Umass
dont want to open it lmfao
nah unless u want to go there
damn they waitlisted me
its so over for ivies lmfao
we are not the umass minutemen
we are not the fucking flagship
we are not the umass minutemen
we are not the fucking flagship
imma write it
I got in 11 APs 1500 4.36W for engineering idk do they yield protect?
downbad for umass's food fr
nah
thought so they're a state school
Umass doesn’t yield protect
Fuck UMass but why everybody got waitlisted
I got into way more competitive unis than UMass, this doesn't make sense
stats
?
and major?
cs?
Yup
i had 1570 and 4.0 uw
Put engineering as second choice
and still waitlisted brutal
Ngl I think it’s just the sheer amount of ppl who’ve applied this year
If you got waitlisted it might just be Umass waiting to eval the rd pool for any cancer curers
i got umd and uw madison
dont care about LMass Amherst
bro why is cs so hard
people are getting rejected from umd uw umass at random with god tier stats
I got deferred from uw Madison for compE with 3.97 and 1560 😭
LMAO i got deferred also
but I got UMD so dub
but i got into purdue umass and neu
j need some scholarship
So random
i got rejected from uiuc too but that was expected
yeah
my budget is like 40ishk so UMD scholarship gonna have to pull through
or stony Brook bound 🙏
im praying for RD
i really hope i can get into a top school RD
i got solid choices tho rn\
how tf does this shit work
its just random
atp yeah literally
before going into this whole process
i thought it being random was copium
but it really doesn't make sense how similar tier schools just randomly accept or reject you
fr
like what makes my essays and stats good enough for umd and not good enough for umass amherst
i got deferred purdue
and for others vice versa
I’m praying for UCs
if I get uc Santa Cruz
I’m insta commiting
not tryna be in debt
i didnt even apply ucs
I didn’t apply to any privates or ivies so UCs are my top schools 😭
but they are so hard for cs
so we will see
yeah I j went down the list LMAO
all of them are great anwyays
esp for grad school
so if ur guareenteed 4+1 then it’s a win win
ur talking ab the 5-year masters?
Everyone was, looks like
yup
its random
i also got a scholarship for umass lmao liek 56k
but i got rejected from schools that are worse for my major
should i register for the waitlist?
where do I find the financial aid doc? or is it in the acceptance letter?
Probably, there's not really a downside, it seems
bro they prolly skimmed ur app tbh
they want u to go onw aitlist
so they could reivew ur app i thinl
ur def qualified to getin
mad funny some dude got into MIT and waitlisted from umass
on reddit thread
umass is a joke how did i get into NE and waitlisted 😂
Did u guys receive ur financial package?
I didn’t get any scholarships so I’m confused what the amherst grant is
I think we recieve our log in to our spire account in a few days and you find the finicial in the spire account
is it better to do the spring or fall or both for the waitlist?
4.45/3.85 CS in state rejected
bro wtf is this
trolll
do u have any other schools?
man im just hoping my instates dont do the same
Df is not rejection!!
deported to london 💀
idt so
also im ngl i didn't know they waitlisted EA - thought it was just RD and EA its just defer
Do anyone know how much Umich will consider GPA? I have to choose one from here and Vanderbilt
this is umass
I got medium GPA (3.8/4.0) but strong ECs
this is umass thread but uh maybe check out their CDS
Ah, sry
Nope, RD
i got deported but it was my decision 🤩
my friend got accepted today
what the hell happened here
i think the third word in your message speaks for itself
💀
basically a buncha yield shit
we all got waitlisted man

the one guy who got in:
this cycle has to be one of the worst
nah bro i got waitlisted 
someone who got into mit got rejected or waitlisted
if you're waitlisted do you have to send in mid year reports? im assuming yes
yea
yeah you do
Did anyone get in?
for those who got waitlisted, did u pick a second major?
Because I know most did computer science and it’s really competitive
waitlist at umass is stupid, if you get waitlisted for primary major you cant get into secondary
i did
but you could always transfer in?
and ive heard that sometimes if people dont commit within a certain timeframe they start opening more spots in the major
what are the stats of people who got into cs
are they actually yield protecting or is it just competitive
It's not as competitive as people make it out to be
There is definitely some yield protection
everyone in this wave got waitlisted tho
did anyone get in OOS for cs?
i didnt see a single person get in period
With all these waitlists I was expecting one too but I got in for CS - 1560 4.0uw 4.4w in state
last wave always has the waitlists and rejections same thing last year
so im kinda surprised
did they pull a umich and put OOS in defer pile
thats why i dont they are yield protecting
The waitlists are for which majors, CS?
i would say that too but I have seen similar applicants get WL
I also have friends at umass cs and they are all 1500+ with high UW and W GPA
I got into Umass I think mid December with a non STEM major. The standards per major are insane
what were your stats
are you considering the school
Considering how NEU went today, I'd say yeah
I'll see how much money I get from Rutgers first
my friend got in for cs today - 4.56 gpa, 1440
I know this is a weird question but like what race and gender is your friend
Yeah, I did bad sophomore year in terms of GPA
good luck with that
tyty
South Asian, Male
bruh umass makes no sense
i'd assume theres some thing where they waitlist people who are too good
I know thats what happened with my brother when he was applying for cs
but the dude above had a 4.0 1560 and got in
they also overenrolled like fuck last year
ye
I also went for a niche (ish) major so it was in my favor
w major
LOL, it's something alright
whats a francophone
ye I am actually a umass student but I am frusturated because my friends from the year below me arent getting into cs
french speaking basically
you're a umass stupid I hear
indeed I am
but yeah it's wild out here
id assume its also cuz the cs department is still pretty small
I got deferred neu
same here
a lot of students but they cant deal with demand
the cs deparment is a mess with enrolling into classes
Overenrollment, small department, some yield protection, etc
thats how you get the umass 2023 shitshow
so many cool ML classes here tho
in your opinions, is the college admissions process/decision more fucked this year or last
CS is like a semi limited major isnt it
umass this year is more fucked ivys the same maybe a little less so far with ED
a lot of people took time off from college
and also the rise in demand for public universities
Good thing I can't afford oos
I forgor to withdraw and ended up getting waitlisted
umass is nice because they make it almost the same by giving the OOS the chancellor scholarship
RIP
Where would you place your stats
Yeah I see them handing that out like candy
umass has so many international and OOS this year
I saw a news article about it
almost none to instate
34k is not cheap
Huh are you asking me?
34k a year is pretty good deal
just because nyu costs 80k
Yeah
doesnt make 34k cheap
for the professional development id say its good
yea everyone i know instate is getting jack from umass
I got a 2k scholarship but reading it thats the highest they give
only honors college gets scholarship
because thier dorms cost more
so they offset it
is that fr
I am the midest of mid student. 3.7-85 usually. TO and good ECs. That's what made me stand out
yeah according to the website
that cant be true
85% GPA?
as far as I have seen
bruh cringe umass
W. Congrats. W US news
US news L
How. They ranked us in good spots!
No way you’re complaining about #45 or whatever it is
No, just the whole idea of ranking is sus
But it also kinda has to be done if we gonna treat colleges as we currently do
Right. It’s inevitable. We are lucky that our schools rank highly tho 🤴🙏
But yea it really shouldn’t matter. Unfortunately it kind of does these days.
W takes by everyone except UMass fucking Amherst today
FUCK THIS SCHOOL
i went through an emotional rollercoaster today
ok well
y'all
thank you all for making by far the best megathread on A2C
i'd ping but that'll take too long
this was my fav thread ong
FR?
stay frosty ⛄
tbh i’m taking my waitlist at umass as a sign that i’m destined for better things
(just the megathread dwww)
Redirection
never leaving this server 💀

🫡
uc merced simp, out
ami out
No it was
yes 🙏
love my minutemen
a very emotional day
the end to an age
🙏
i did
Did u get waitlisted to both majors? I’m confused how it works
I think they waitlisted u for first major and may consider you off the waitlist for 2nd
you could get your 1st major but it is harder
Ohhh that makes sense
I’m so glad I didn’t make computer science my primary major
not sure
i had informatics as second choice
Guys how Tf I got straight up reject nah man
fuck LMass Lmherst
umass more like um this school is ass 😂
you think ur an ivy or something?
@soft karma dont stress last wave was WILD ASF
Thanks bro just kinda caught me off guard cuz I was expecting scholarship from them and got rejected thanks again
0% chance of a umass wave today
😭
Um ass amworst
99% chance of a UMass wave today, 99% chance of a wave
Take one point down, reject an applicant around, 98% chance of a UMass wave today
Someone edit it
Make good
Bomb poem
Ty
👍 so good
Who will win
with this last wave we prolly losing
The Official Discord Thread for the Waitlisted Minutemen!!!
Yo if I pick both fall and spring waitlist would they give me spring on purpose
See that’s why I went with fall
Yeah that’s wut I’m scared of
Bc there is no way I’m going in the spring
There’s a reason we are applying in the fall admissions in the first place
Yeah true
Oh nah 💀
Yeah they want u to do a semester at sum college
And then transfer over
In spring
How funny
Fax
U think they are going to let anyone off the waitlist in march
Or the usual late April/may
I’ll honestly consider spring but I rather have fall
Probably not
It’s mostly in may
My friend got off of the waitlist end of April
So used to school start in the fall. Spring is just going to make things difficult
Yeah true
U think they gonna put me in spring automatically if I pick both
That’s what I’m scared of
Pick fall
Unless u genuinely willing to go in the spring
No
Idea
Prob some kind of sorting system
U would think right
Yeah
they didnt accept 5k ...
they accepted more
5k is ig their target class or smthg
idts umas would have a 10% rate
overall at least
why did they report that lmao
maybe they're trying not to overenroll like last yr
You need to account for yield
Lmao 😭
Oh good the special number is preserved
I wish for merit aid from Rutgers
I wish for Rutgers
To make my decision even harder
to give me my FUCKING DECISUON
Bro what when are they
LOL
Getting back when's the last day they can
idk
Dude huh⁉️
Are you 100% you got everything in by ea deadline
Loll
Oh last day is Feb 15 not Feb 1
Bruh Rutger literally edging u
LOL
my minutemen.
i announce my retirement as general of the minutemen parade.
i will not be joining the waitlist due to the fact that it’s very pointless for me
with that
i salute my brothers
and sisters
and themers
for the last time
we are the fucking flagship.
we are the umass minutemen.
common UMass L
umass made us wait 10 years
to put on waitlist
😂
fuck you
like
just fucking reject me
You’ll prolly be chill off the waitlist cause most kids who get in don’t go
yeah ikr
why am i actually emotional
the end of an era n shit
🫡
what we began here was something great
we salute you
and we wish you the best
thank you.

Have some of y’all still not gotten decisions?
did you get a decision?
I was in the first wave
honestly same. bye umass and fuck you
fr
Umass so mid lmao
Wait but you're a college soph?
Did you apply transfer
L opinion
No I’m a senior rn
In high school
Oh shoot I have the wrong tag
That’s my bad
Bro how tf did I get waitlisted here but accepted to uw Madison cs
And deferred from uiuc cs
umid for a reason 
Fuck You(Mass)
cuz madison has a high acceptance rate ea lmao, and this cycle's random
this cycle's actually mad scuffed
nah but cs is low
so getting into uwm is easy but quite the opposite for cs
I got waitlisted at UMass cs as well and rejected at UIUC cs 😦
Were u instate for either?
Nope I'm international
Oof
Yea if ur intl getting into state schools is hard asf
Yeah i feel that too. And i think getting waitlisted is the worst since they are going to tell me in May if I get in or not and by then i have to commit to the University of my choice that I have been accepted at. 😦
Well once u commit u can still go to another school
Idk how it works but ik lots of ppl do it
You can? Then i'll probably have to consider umass as an option as well then. Coz i read online and they have like an acceptance rate of around 50% for the waitlisted students
For fall or spring?
Fall is way lower I heard
I think so, definitely do some research on how it works tho
For fall
Oh damn
U sure it’s 50?
I may be wrong
I filled only fall since i graduate in June and i don't wanna wait for 6 months to go to college
Yeah but visa process starts again if
you do lose the deposit tho
For waitlist , do you need to write LOCI
^
can’t hurt
What is umass cs acceptance rate
I think around 30%
Endless pain
i doubt its that high for cs
Anticipating that rejection letter 
in state, lower for oos
It is
Or atleast it was last year
38.5%
According to site
More like 33
anyone did fall and spring waitlist?
me
how quickly did you accept a spot on the waitlist
i accepted at like 3:01 when it came out
but i switched it from fall to both spring and fall the next day
same i did it right away too
oh
yeah honestly
i was so shocked
it took me a second
yeah
btw for spring waitlist you have a much better chance
@drifting canopy do u think they'll give us spring on purpose tho?
of getting in
rather than fall
no
alright good
aight
oh
and waitlisted cs
yeah im thinking umd
nice
facts
and in-state tuituion
thats honestly why
yeah i am
is umass spring waitlist decision gonna come out the same time as fall waitlist
no
they said if you are on the spring waitlist you would be contacted in the summer for further instruction
@drifting canopy do you know if the time u submit will affect your spot on the waitlist?
I think
really?
i submitted 3 hours after the decision released
i think it prolly matters if u submitted the next day or smthing
i think it does yeah
it says the best way to improve your chances is to submit right away
wait so if i submitted the first day but then changed my answer, would that affect my spot?
I mean from what i read online and on their website, the draw for waitlist is according to the applicant profile but it's better to submit it as quickly as possible
I submitted mine the same day as well within like 2-3 hours
do you know where they said this?
Do they release waitlist updates all at once or in waves
are they releasing waitlist decisions by whatever date it was they said or on whatever date they said?
anyone know if umass accepts loci and if they do, where do i submit them?
nous sommes Marty le Martlet, nous sommes le vaisseau amiral
lmaoooo le vaisseau amiral, this means flagship but literally, you're looking for "phare" Nous sommes le campus phare, but rly we dont say that in french, prolly would be "nous sommes les meilleurs"
Google translate 🫡
😈
that is nightmare fuel
I saw 6 tiktoks of umass boston students complaining like 10 times in a row
the teeth are...weird
Are there any chances of being accepted after being waitlisted?
do they usually accept or? how is general scenario
Thanks for that
thats depresing to look at
Yeah :c
I’ll probably get put in spring
might as well be what the hell
It seems like
wait they dont look at waitlisted applications until mid-May? wtf?
until everyone's commited so they know how many spots are left
waitlist is not a defer
youre essentially not getting in
off the waitlist
although that number probably does not include people admitted to spring term off the waitlist
i doubt its that much higher though
Nah spring is way higher
damn fr?
thats nice actually
also do i write a loci for umass amherst waitlist?
i dont think so
okay
on their faq it says they wont consider any letters
ah i see
both
also yo
Either send a new teacher recommendation or contact an admissions representative directly to show the school you still want to go! A lot of times, schools waitlist their applicants because they don’t think he/she will attend if accepted. If you’re waitlisted to a school you really want to attend, make it clear to the Office of Admissions that you will go if you got in.
i think this is general advice? not umass specific? because this implies they yield protect, which i dont think they do
lemme see
sorry for ping but do you mind sending this faq over?
I sent my loci in and they told me that they added the information to my file. Worth a try
how did you send it?
through the email?
Alright
Who would actually do spring tho let’s be honest
true yeah
rd decision when????
How do I tell UMass that I am in love with this University and want to get enrolled
Like, if they gonna accept, I will probably commit to Umass
If you’re waitlisted to a school you really want to attend, make it clear to the Office of Admissions that you will go if you got in
How do I make it clear to them, that I really want to attend
LOCI
shall I email it to them?
idk how you submit one, never had to but yea I think
okay
you email admissions office?
Wait r u guys sure we can send one it says on their website do not send additional information
a loci isnt info
info is idk test scores
well idk im no expert afterall
do what u will
Yeah idk it says sending letters will not strengthen your chances
Anyone know if that’s referring to loci?
jesus
it rreally got archived
i had to come back
to hunt for it
is everyone really that disappointed / angry with umass?
I'm still waiting for my decision.
Wym archived
exactly
when a thread doesnt have messages for 24 hrs
it gets archived
and only becomes active again when someone messages again
usually it signifies the death of the thread
and in this case
the fall of the Umass Minutemen.
Damn
the umass minutemen got tired of umass 💀
Yep indeed
fuck you(mass)
Fuck this
this turned into a umass hate chat so fast lmao
Umass archived?
Never thought this would happen, was because 90% of umass simps were waitlisted

No
Hiii
Wait i'm confused – did people get their rd decisions already? Or is it just ea so far? I hear people talking about getting waitlisted, which I thought was only an RD thing.
they waitlist ea
Ah okay got it
Thx
Do you know if the later waves are mostly waitlists and the earlier waves are mostly acceptances? Or is this unknowable
for this last couple years that's the pattern yea
anyone know if earlier applications get earlier decisions back? or is it not based on order
For ea I submitted mine about a week before the deadline and I got my results in the first wave so I don't think so
If waitlisted, does Umass want mid year reports? If so do I just get my counselor to mail it to them digitally?
I am waitlisted. How do I increase my chances of getting accepted
What
Wdym
Oh shit wtf
I just saw the insta post
I got into pitt oos
Does that mean I have a good chance for umass
And I’m also in state
Also what majors u think will come out
GG!
no
bigger chance then
not nursing, cs or biz
I’m doing Econ
Are we?
yea
Oh right I see
Interesting
Anyone know if there's a specific weekday they tend to release it?
They're pretty vague, just saying "later this week"
Do you mean that those ones will come out in later cycles?
usually
So far it’s been Tuesday and Thursday
got it
hey
#1056777773206741012
no lol
i got in pitt oos and waitlisted umass😭
😂
i got unc oos/intl and waitlisted umass
...
honestly fuck umass
um(ass)
@brave kelp ban him he is spreading misinformation on UMass
?
never
Fr i just want my decisions
But cs is probably gonna be one of the last waves
If i cant get into umass im not getting in anywhere lol
Rd
Umass is my only target school
I have 2 safeties and like 10 reaches
I got into my safeties with nice scholarships tho so im chilling with that
Ya
Like 30mins from umass
Ye lmao
My highschool hosts our graduation there every year
You apply to any boston schools?
I applied neu bc harvard and tufts
For boston area
I think i have a chance at tufts but no idea abt the rest
Bc is like a hard target for me i think
I have the stats but my ecs arent too good
When will umass come out
bestie forgot about RD 😭
I guess the decisions didn't come out today rip
probably thursday lol
Bruh they took so long for EA tho
on their insta they said first wave releasing this week
ok hope they include me
but if it's based on application submission time then probably not
based on major probably
I assume competitive majors come out last?
probably
is cs more competitive than business or Biomedical major btw? as an international
more comp than biomedical less than business
i think
okay
Could Amherst come out today?
Anyone going to the destination day on Saturday
Will it come@out tmrw?
??
Real ☕️
Tmrw?
bro ur guess is as good as the rest of us
😂
CS is the most competitive program at UMass with the exception of nursing
Pretty sure business is also more competitive
Oh right, I see
Many of my friends, with business major, are getting accepted to so many top schools, being test optional and comparatively low ecs when compared with CS major friends. I was wondering why and how......
hahaha
Cs is like 30% and business is way below that im pretty sure. At their in person info sessions they say that business and nursing are the most competitive
I see
cs is 30 for ea and in state, way lower this year anyway
No its not lol check the cds from last year
It was 38%
Got in
Economics
same
U get in?
yup
W
Ggs congrats
Congrats
did anyone get into chc?
Nah
do you know where we can check the finaid offer
I haven’t gotten it yet
is this ea or rd?
???
anyone who got it today did u get an email about it
ive got nothing
Nothing
how long in between waves 😭
whats the acceptance rate for cs?
anyone got cs?
anyone got decisions
yeah
yep
did your cs decision come out?
nope
Yo why is a Umass representative coming to my high school in May
like we've already commited to schools by then
Probably for next years cycle lol
do you think today or tomorrow?
He means next week or the week after next week
oh 😃
who the hell is katie fr
for y’all who got in EA where did you find your SPIRE credential thingys to check your finaid
finaid is awarded on the letter of acceptance i believe (was for me)
like the actual finaid package? or merit aid
mine says merit but it doesn’t say like the final finaid package
oooo ic okay ty!!
does umass give financial aid oos?
yeah I had to wait like one to two days after receiving a decision before creating a spire account
idk but either way my pell grant needs to be factored into COA so
umass has better merit scholarships for oos, I think the max is like 16k
they're generous with merit
oh i got 16k 
naw current juniors cant join the session lmao. they wasting time fr fr
coa is still like 40k right
u gonna attend?
oos or intate?
idk i need to see the full finaid package, but i’m 90% sure it’ll still be way too expensive so probably not
ah damn
16k covers room and board so yea 40
yeah i’d need like 20k in grants lmao
I haven’t seen one accepted student not get a merit 12-16k scholarship
wtf i was feeling special with my 16k… nvm then
i have, 2k
Money is money
Well now 2-16k
in state?
ye
oh yeah
Lmao I got waitlisted even tho i got into Purdue math
How tf did I get into Purdue math but not umass math
bestie cics and cs are different
Dawg I got into NEU and not Umass lmfaooo
cics is inflated by informatics majors
how u been mann
Depressed lmao
Idk it’s just frustrating that I got waitlisted/deferred more than I got rejected
Like on public ivy day I was rejected/waitlisted from everything
i feel that sorta man
no perdo?
I met with their recruiters and I wasn’t feeling it tbh
