UMass Amherst! (we are the flagship) (2022-2023)

[worthy summit]

if u finish like the required courses with a c or higher u get into cs guarentted

[livid ravine]

ik but ion wanna pay 60k

[worthy summit]

yeah 60 for a state school is crazy

[livid ravine]

they make you take like at least two cs classes EVERY SEMESTER

BEST SCHOOL

[worthy summit]

lmao

[livid ravine]

most dont even let you

[worthy summit]

yeah with the amount of kids who take cs at umd you prob wont even get any cs classes

[livid ravine]

hey

hey now

dont dash my dreams like that

[worthy summit]

nah i mean like the course registration

cause umd has the highest undergrad cs

[livid ravine]

ik but i think they have it somewhat under control

i hope

[worthy summit]

yeah they better esp for 60 k lmao

[livid ravine]

ima ask the guy in the rutgers discord abt the congestion

after he goes there for a year

[worthy summit]

transfering is so sketch tho cause making friends will be so hard

[livid ravine]

they take a lot of transfers

so idk

maybe? but prolly not

[worthy summit]

consider umich as well they have like a 40 ar for transfer

[livid ravine]

fk umid

80k my ass

[worthy summit]

true

[livid ravine]

Ima try to find a couple ppl that will transfer with me

[worthy summit]

the strat is jus save undergrad and go to stanny or wharton grad school

[livid ravine]

[muted elk]

Wharton 🥶

[livid ravine]

[livid ravine]

THE ENROLLMENT FEE IS $500?!?!?!

DA FAK

AND A 2.7% CONVENIENCE FEE FOR CREDIT CARDS?!?!

[strong plank]

.

[cerulean niche]

that isn't bad

[chrome frost]

its kinda lot for a public school

uiucs is 150

[livid ravine]

Kinda bad. I expected like 200

Just took me by surprise

[rotund steeple]

LUH TWIZZ

[livid ravine]

anyone hear back yet

[crude field]

Any1 get off waitlist

[charred cargo]

nope

[strong plank]

Which email did you send them your LOCI

[pastel basin]

[email protected]

[strong plank]

Thanks, also did they like acknowledge you sent a loci or just didn’t reply back to you after you sent it

[pastel basin]

They sent me an acknowledgment

[neon sage]

I got accepted from the waitlist for comp engineering wtf

[neon sage]

Yes

[neat wren]

🌰

[livid ravine]

🚐

[livid ravine]

Nice

Big w

[neon sage]

They also give chancellors award scholarship (10k per year)

I was planning on attending a community college in maryland but this got me thinking

[livid ravine]

Oh for the umd transfer thing

[neon sage]

Yeah

Thing is, I don't live in the US( still a citizen) so i am considered out of state

[livid ravine]

I meant transferring to Umd next year

[neon sage]

Are you already studying at a CC?

[livid ravine]

Naw

I only got general admission and not cs

So I’m going somewhere else until upper class division

[neon sage]

Which CC are you going for

I was thinking about Montgomery college

[livid ravine]

I’m not going to a cc

Actually I did half a semester at a cc for dual enrollment

[neon sage]

Oh

I see, are you in-state?

[livid ravine]

Oos

I don’t like my state college so I want to go oos

[neon sage]

Do you know if it's possible to establish residency while at a CC

For tuition purposes when i attend UMD

[livid ravine]

No idea

But I do know that cc is a good option for lower division

If you don’t mind the hassle of transferring and networking again

[neon sage]

Lower division? What's that?

[livid ravine]

The first two years worth of your college undergrad is called lower division that the two after is the upper division

Lower division education is more or less the same across the board

[neon sage]

True

They should change this university system really

[livid ravine]

Fax

Too expensive

Like for what

[neon sage]

Lower division is like a high-high school

Going to a CC should be norm cuz it's way cheaper and probably more teacher support and it really doesn't make sense to pay the same tuition for both low and high division

[livid ravine]

And you end up with the same degree anyways

But ig some ppl want the extra time to network and stuff

[neon sage]

I think it's an ego thing

People work their ass off at hs, managing clubs and shit

They want to go to a uni even if it means taking out a lot of loans

[livid ravine]

I’ve seen one kid be the leader of 7 clubs

Like why

[neon sage]

That's crazy

Did he got in anywhere significant?

[livid ravine]

Idts

[neon sage]

You know i think it's fine to go to a good uni if you get like a full-ride

Which is like only %1 of the people get that

Still the system is broken though

[livid ravine]

When did you get notified

Abt the wl to accept

[neon sage]

Couple hours ago but i saw it now

[livid ravine]

Email?

[neon sage]

Yeah it said my status is updated

[livid ravine]

👌

You thinking of going?

[strong plank]

Bro the CS yield rate better be low

I’m still waiting

[neon sage]

I'm confused now dude, because they also offered a scholarship along with the acceptance

[strong plank]

They do that

[livid ravine]

Ditto

[strong plank]

🧐

[livid ravine]

Cs yield is def around 60%

Prob

[livid ravine]

I take it back

60% was a gross over evaluation

There’s prob gonna be a cs wave after 5/1

Hopefully

[strong plank]

I mean i can’t blame you for guessing the program is pretty good to have such a low yield

I assume it’s just cause a lot of the applicants get in somewhere better

[neon sage]

I heard there is a housing crisis in umass

[strong plank]

The gpa average is pretty high so the applicants are qualified

[strong plank]

There is not for first years though but there is

[livid ravine]

There’s a housing crisis in every public school

[neon sage]

what happens after the first year

[strong plank]

I wish I could tell you

[neon sage]

Do i find my own place

[strong plank]

I mean im not sure how you would

Amherst is in buttfuck nowhere

[neon sage]

lol

maybe like a off-campus housing

aren't there any?

[livid ravine]

Wait rly I thought it was near a city or smth

[strong plank]

I can’t say anything for sure but I don’t think it would be that that bad

But I could be lying

[strong plank]

Please tell me that city

Lolol

[livid ravine]

I thought it’d be named like Amherst city Lmaoo

[neon sage]

I wish I applied to umass boston instead tbh

[strong plank]

I wish but nah Amherst is a small town

[strong plank]

I applied to Lowell and I’m stuck between it and northeastern for money wise but

I think I’ll just go with Lowell

[neon sage]

oh wow there are more campuses for umass

why is umass amherst considered flagship anyways?

why not move the flagship to boston

[strong plank]

That’s what they are aiming to do

UMass Lowell and UMass Boston are getting more funding

[livid ravine]

No way

The betrayal

How many campuses are there

I thought it was only Amherst and Boston

[strong plank]

Umass Dartmouth UMass Boston umass lowell UMass Amherst

There is also Mass Art which is a public school but not a UMass

[strong plank]

4 of them

[livid ravine]

Dang there’s a lot

[strong plank]

Yup

@livid ravine where are you deciding between for college?

[livid ravine]

I am in desperate need for my waitlists to pull through

I should’ve applied to more places rip

[livid ravine]

Rn I have Penn state, rutgers, osu

For cs

Sry I mis read what you asked

[drifting canopy]

You get in

[mystic plaza]

hell no

[brazen wave]

Umass has the worst admissions of all time

Why tf are they rejecting some people in a waitlist aren’t they supposed to wait until their class is over

Plus they waitlisted everyone not even reject tf in the final wave

[livid ravine]

The fact that they don’t defer is also weird

[drifting canopy]

Can someone send the umass discord

[cerulean niche]

yeah i gotchu

[neon sage]

aren't waitlists first come first serve?

I took the waitlist offer literally an hour later and got accepted early

[neon sage]

yeah rejecting waitlists sounds odd

especially this early

[brazen wave]

I legit did accepted it in the first 2 minutes

Like 3:02

Plus a loci

[livid ravine]

i thought they didnt take locis

[neon sage]

I did not submit an loci

and they say that loci's aren't considered

[brazen wave]

They emailed me saying they added it to my file

Idk

[livid ravine]

this school rly making me wait nearly 6 months for a decision... ☠️

[brazen wave]

U put spring tho 💀💀💀

[livid ravine]

That’s true

[uncut turtle]

i didnt even submit a loci and got off waitlist

so ig loci isnt really factored

[livid ravine]

Lmao I got in

Too late tho umass smh

[neon sage]

congrats bro

[brazen wave]

[livid ravine]
