UMass Amherst (2023-2024)

[near lotus]

6 pm via college confidential

[gentle marsh]

bruh why they keep postponing

like it was 5pm before this

[ruby magnet]

they didn’t confirm for 5

people speculated as 5 pm

whereas on College Confidential someone actually messaged admissions

and confirmed 6pm EST

[uncut cipher]

instagram just says "this evening ET"

[uncut cipher]

oh ok

https://talk.collegeconfidential.com/t/university-of-massachusetts-amherst-early-action-for-fall-2024-admissions/3644791/77

yep i see it

[lime birch]

yoo

did decisions release yet

[low ferry]

What is like the avg criteria for the honors college?

[elder vine]

Roughly be in the 10% of applications

They let in like 600 people a year I think?

Out of like 6-7k admitted

[mortal cliff]

I think it was top 10 percent of applicants per college

For example 10% of the college of natural sciences 10% percent of the manning college of computer science

Etc etc

[sour flower]

when do decisions release? i’ve been hearing 5pm est

[inland adder]

6pm est?

[mortal cliff]

Official says it’s 6 pm

[lime birch]

!umassamherst

whats the command

[uncut cipher]

We dont know for sure, someone on college confidential claims they heard officially that it's 6pm

[lime birch]

its 6pm

several people contacted and asked

still an hour

[noble whale]

It’s confirmed?

[inland adder]

stressful tkmes

[lime birch]

yea pretty much

[lime birch]

just chill

if its meant to be

we'll get accepted

[noble whale]

T-1 hour

The day is here

[lime birch]

is cs good at umass

[ruby magnet]

yeah, probably what it’s most known for

[lime birch]

is it better than umn?

[lean gorge]

Comes out in an hour or so right?

[lime birch]

an hour

precisely

[lean gorge]

Is umass or purdue better for cs, or about the same?

[lime birch]

purduee

[ruby magnet]

i’m not too sure although i’d prefer umass amherst over umn

[lime birch]

which colleges did you get in

so far

[lean gorge]

I got into purdue so hopefully i get in here, i heard they have good food lol

[lime birch]

purdue anyday

for CS?

[uncut cipher]

It probably depends where you live

Indiana is far

[lean gorge]

Yeah for cs

[uncut cipher]

also cost

[lime birch]

i got deferred from purdue 😭

whats ur stats

[uncut cipher]

if you get money one place over another then that impacts

[lime birch]

purdue is really cheap dude

26k for OOS

tution

[lean gorge]

Yeah im oos its real expesnive, probably cant go

[lime birch]

umass is 37k

and purdue is better

so

[lean gorge]

47k total for purdue

[ruby magnet]

UMN, RU-Newark, RU-NB, NJIT, UAlabama(applied for scholarshops).
Got deferred from Purdue

[lean gorge]

Oh dang i thought umass was cheaper

[lime birch]

no bruh

[lime birch]

ooh whats ur stats

[uncut cipher]

Not cheap for everyone

[lime birch]

i got into UMN and deferred from purdue as well

[lime birch]

why

[uncut cipher]

I'm saying not everyone has that much money (me)

[lean gorge]

36 act, valedict as of applying, bunch of club pres + leadership and se internship, also minecraft server lol

[lime birch]

if purdue is not cheap for you then umass if far from it

[woven sun]

idk if id go for purdue or umass or my other schools

[lime birch]

damn

[uncut cipher]

im going for big scholarships

[lean gorge]

Ah okay gotcha, thanks

[lime birch]

purdue

[uncut cipher]

maybe Umass can give me a lot of money

[elder vine]

Oh fr? Shit idk if I’m in top 10%

[lime birch]

I love purdue

[woven sun]

im im such a dilemma

[ruby magnet]

3.8 gpa, 33 ACT, 1450 SAT, very mid ecs

[lime birch]

i got deferred 😭

[ruby magnet]

same bro

[lime birch]

are you internaitonal or oos or is

[lean gorge]

Same lol ive been shotgunning scholarships, im reagan semi finalist rn so hopefully i can win that one

[lime birch]

did you upload the LOCI

[lean gorge]

Im upper middle class so its hard for me to afford college, trying to get as much money as possible

[ruby magnet]

my first semester didn’t finish yet

[lime birch]

oh

for grades

must be OOS or IS then

[elder vine]

Is in-state, biology major, 1550 SAT, 4.2w/3.8uw GPA, plus good ECs, and mid essays enough for honors college at UMass Amherst?

[lime birch]

upper middle class and hard

what

[summer bay]

uh oh

[lime birch]

probably

[elder vine]

🤞

[lime birch]

@ruby magnet ?

is honors released with decisions

[ruby magnet]

yeah i’m oos

[lime birch]

9 T20s is wild

[ruby magnet]

for purdue

[lean gorge]

I dont have a large college fund and my parents about to retire, they would rather not take money from that and it makes complete sense from their perspective

[uncut cipher]

Upper middle class is the hardest to afford college, because everywhere expects you to pay full price but you can't

[lime birch]

so real

[lean gorge]

Yup

[lime birch]

so purdue

umass is expensive

unless you get some scholarships

purdue is probably the cheapest T20 for CS

[uncut cipher]

i applied to umass thinking they'd give me big money because im cool or smth

[ruby magnet]

true

[lone coyote]

Bro literally wait an hour

[elder vine]

Same

[uncut cipher]

I'm OOS so i wouldn't go unless it's cheaper than my own state school

[ruby magnet]

rejected fs (im jk)

[lime birch]

which state are you from

[uncut cipher]

NY

[lime birch]

im OOS but i dont reside in USA

[lean gorge]

Yup, i just looked at tuition lol. I saw umass had some scholarships so i was hoping id get one of those, but its probably really hard to get oos and im not particularly special, i have a good app but nothing super crazy

[lime birch]

so i dont got any in states

[uncut cipher]

it's gotta beat the SUNYs on price for me to consider

[ruby magnet]

yeah im intl but i live in us

[lime birch]

so ur not a citizen?

[lean gorge]

My instate is university of arkansas 💀

[ruby magnet]

not even a permanent resident

[lime birch]

so ur intl?

[ruby magnet]

yeah

[lime birch]

you said oos

[ruby magnet]

mb

i meant is

[lime birch]

damn

i already submitted my LOCI

[raw onyx]

Did they come out

[lime birch]

no

50 minutes

[raw onyx]

I’ll check after basketball

[oak forum]

bro sunys are honestly a w

[lime birch]

arent sunys expensive

[uncut cipher]

Yep

[oak forum]

bing and buffalo are cheaper than some instate colleges for me

theyre so generous

[uncut cipher]

instate tuition is $8k at sunys LOL

[lime birch]

damn

[uncut cipher]

it's cheap AF

hard to beat

[lime birch]

hope I get accepted to UIUC

my dream college after purdue deferred me

[uncut cipher]

and suny programs are quite good for most things

[lime birch]

does anyone know whats the deferral conversion rate

for purdue

im assuming its below 10%

[inland adder]

10-15 for CS

pretty high for everything else I think

[lime birch]

10-15

isnt that the acceptance rate

for CS

[inland adder]

deferral rate

[lime birch]

nah like in general

[inland adder]

someone emailed purdues admissions officers and that’s what they said

[lime birch]

whats the acceptance rate

for purdue

for CS

[inland adder]

specifically for CS

[ruby magnet]

oos acc rate and deferral rate is the same damn

[lime birch]

fr

so atleast we have a chance

maybe

[ruby magnet]

🤝

[lime birch]

i already sent my LOCI

hopefully get a decision soon

[ruby magnet]

oh nice gl

[lime birch]

thanks gl to you

as well

I heard they check every friday

[ruby magnet]

i need to start writing my loci, but if i get in elsewhere i don’t think i’ll even bother

[lime birch]

which colleges

[ruby magnet]

what i’d prefer over purdue is gatech, umd, uiuc

[lime birch]

gatech umd uiuc all the same day

madison as well apparently

[ruby magnet]

exactly

[lime birch]

hope I get into atleast one dude

[ruby magnet]

was gonna apply but didn’t

[lime birch]

otherwise its gonna be really disappointing

did you apply UVA

[ruby magnet]

nope

[lime birch]

how many

did you apply

[ruby magnet]

around 12

[lime birch]

damn nice

UNC?

[ruby magnet]

no

[lime birch]

idk why I applied to colorado boulder

they got a 90% acceptance rate for CS

💀

[ruby magnet]

lmao

[lime birch]

was a waste of money

[lean gorge]

My friend got into purdue for aerospace but will probably end up going to boulder instead because he likes to ski and likes the state

Unless he gets into somewhere like mit

[lime birch]

mit

dang

[lean gorge]

Im praying for MIT, its a long shot though

Would be perfect financially too, very affordable for anyone with their aid

[mortal cliff]

And ur stressing for Umass cmon man you’ll make it in

[lime birch]

is umass easy or what

[mortal cliff]

No, but like have hope

[ruby magnet]

are you kidding? their cs is so hard to get in

[lime birch]

💀

[ruby magnet]

i’m a very logical person, i already accepted defeat lmao

[lime birch]

i have a 95% UW and 1500 sat, 4 aps and pretty mid ecs

[mortal cliff]

ECs are what carry college apps these days

But don’t worry

[lime birch]

i got mid ecs

[ionic elk]

how hard is it to get umass cs

[crystal skiff]

Umd??

[lime birch]

you'll know in like 40 minutes bud

[crystal skiff]

Umd is basically Rutgers lol

[lime birch]

what

umd is really good

for CS

[mortal cliff]

Like the acceptance was 25-30% last year including the informatics majors which have their own separate acceptance which is higher

[ionic elk]

okay😭

[mortal cliff]

I remember last year Northeastern was like 4% guys don’t be stressing

[ionic elk]

if i dont get in for the first major will they consider me for the second one

[lime birch]

northeastern

is that even good

[crystal skiff]

It’s marginally better than Rutgers at double the price

[lime birch]

they're really scummy

[mortal cliff]

Yes they automatically do consider it in ur application

[lime birch]

for CS? are you sure

[mortal cliff]

Their Stem is good, but ranked similar to Umass, and its triple the price

[mental hinge]

NEU sucks

[crystal skiff]

I’m in central nj. A lot of ppl get into Rutgers and UMD cs, but less get into Purdue cs

[lime birch]

they host lot of fairs

in my country

sounds scummy to me

[mortal cliff]

Bro stalking the thread

[mental hinge]

been here all day

[lime birch]

OOS rutgers is 36k

maryland is like 4 grand more

[onyx flare]

do yall know what time decisions come out

[lime birch]

34 mins

[onyx flare]

oof

gl

[crystal skiff]

P sure umd is 60k full pay

[mortal cliff]

I think it is

[lime birch]

60k tution?

[mortal cliff]

Any university OOS which is a midwestern or Southern university is usually 60k for OOS before any scholarships

At least I assume so

Umass is also like 55k for OOS

With no scholarships

[gritty wolf]

When is it coming out? 6?

[onyx flare]

6 est i think

[raw onyx]

This school is too expensive for me 😋

[gritty wolf]

They haven’t put anything online

About the time

[ruby magnet]

😋

[crystal skiff]

Yeah

[lime birch]

are you serious

[crystal skiff]

Yeah that’s why a lot of ppl in my school go to Rutgers over umd

[old prism]

who said so

[lime birch]

me

[ionic elk]

this might be a stupid question but is it easier to get in in state

[lime birch]

yes

[ionic elk]

okay!

[old prism]

and where did u get that info

[lime birch]

from my minid

[old prism]

breh tf

[orchid gorge]

someone dmed admissions and they said 6

[mortal cliff]

Someone asked admissions

[old prism]

6 est?

[mortal cliff]

Everyone was saying 5 pm and it didn’t happen so it’s gotta be 6 est

[ruby magnet]

wait umass coa is 57k as well

[foggy mason]

neu was 7pm

[ionic elk]

whats coa?

[lime birch]

including tution

[ruby magnet]

no wonder purdue is so adored

[foggy mason]

prob 7

[lime birch]

cost of attendance

[ruby magnet]

cost of attendance

[old prism]

est it pst

[crystal skiff]

Neu came out already?

[mortal cliff]

Did they release in waves? I remember mine came out at 6 for them

[old prism]

or

[lime birch]

purdue has really low tution

[foggy mason]

ed

[mortal cliff]

Oh damn I applied regular decision NEU lol

[ruby magnet]

oh

[ruby magnet]

same, they sent me a fee waiver

[mortal cliff]

They never sent me one god damn

[ionic elk]

oh i also got a fee waiver for northeastern!

[lime birch]

NEU

even i got one

[mental hinge]

is ohio state better for CS

[lime birch]

but i dont really care about NEU

[mortal cliff]

Damn yall got it good this year last year was kinda poop for applicants

[foggy mason]

they give one to anyone with a pulse

[ionic elk]

umass is my only safety and its not even really a safety it might be over for me

[foggy mason]

its not indictive of competitivness

[ionic elk]

ya ik lol

[mortal cliff]

They didn’t give anyone one last year, it’s probably to inflate applications

[lime birch]

NEU is really scummy

[mental hinge]

is ohio state better

CS

[foggy mason]

in what way

[mortal cliff]

Then what

[orchid gorge]

if i got into bing ea do i have a solid chance at umass ea?

[mental hinge]

UMA

[ruby magnet]

We are also happy to waive your application fee to Northeastern in recognition of your academic achievement. When applying to Northeastern through the Common Application or Coalition Application, you should select "Northeastern Fee Waiver Mailing" when prompted to select a Northeastern fee waiver option. As a reminder, the Early Decision I and Early Action application deadline is November 1, and Early Decision II and Regular Decision applications are due January 1.

[lime birch]

most of their students are from and india and go for MS

[mortal cliff]

I would say no

[lime birch]

they take students from here

they got mad fairs

and shit

[mental hinge]

i think OSU is better but skibidi ohio university is the best

[lime birch]

they're acceptance rates are so low because they give out fee waivers to everyone

[ruby magnet]

lmao true

[void hinge]

When are the decisions coming out

[lime birch]

just scummy to me

[ruby magnet]

no supps either

[ionic elk]

if u apply ed u just get in

[lime birch]

yea

[gritty wolf]

Is umass amherst generous with instate merit scholarships

[lime birch]

they're just gaming the rankings

[foggy mason]

lol my cousin did that. but whats wrong w that unless your racist. my cousin also got a job from robinhood paying a lot so i think they set him up quite well

[ruby magnet]

you just angered a lot of people lol

[lime birch]

not racist

you're not understanding my point

they come to india in fairs

[mortal cliff]

Damn

[ruby magnet]

he’s indian it’s alr

[foggy mason]

every school is trying to get higer up in the rankings. hell even columbia fudged their data

[lime birch]

and make them seem like they're so prestigious

[ionic elk]

okay my friend got in with like 4 Cs and 8 Bs ed

[lime birch]

but they just accept everyone whos applying for MS in CS

in india

[ruby magnet]

bro clutched up

[lime birch]

because of the money

[ruby magnet]

and no fin aid for intl

[lime birch]

yea

[foggy mason]

you think when mit sends u a letter, ur actually going to get in

no

they do it to put down their AR

[ruby magnet]

harvard sent me 3

[uncut cipher]

r u instate NY like me?

[lime birch]

bro

[foggy mason]

exactly

[lime birch]

its not just about AR

[orchid gorge]

yeah

[lime birch]

the only private college ive ever seen in the college fairs here

[orchid gorge]

i got the decision in nov

[lime birch]

is northeastern

they promote it like crazy

so that MS CS students join

[uncut cipher]

nah harvard sends u those letters because they want to reject u to get a lower AR

[lime birch]

and its so much money for them

[onyx flare]

where's here

[lime birch]

india

[inland adder]

17 minutes

[ruby magnet]

irl crypto pump and dump

[lime birch]

every fucking fair the only private college is northeastern

[lean gorge]

Lets hope i get in and get a scholarship somehow cuz otherwise there is no way ill be able to go here lol

[lime birch]

they just trap indian students cuz most students here go for MS

in CS

[foggy mason]

your primary concern seems to be they treat it like a buisness. but that is all schools. legacy, fudging data, sending letters to students they know they wont accept, all colleges do this. albeit maybe northeastern does it a little more agressivly

[ruby magnet]

#1 for Co-Ops lol

[onyx flare]

tf u mean trap, northeasters p good

[foggy mason]

no one is forcing anyone to go

[onyx flare]

they do have a decent rep

[foggy mason]

and its not like it is a bad cs school

its really good

[onyx flare]

yea

[lime birch]

idk

thats just my opinion on them

could be false

[void hinge]

6 pm right?

[ionic elk]

wait is the server logo the umass font

[onyx flare]

yea lol

[ruby magnet]

yes

[onyx flare]

[ionic elk]

[foggy mason]

[foggy mason]

aint no way

[ruby magnet]

bro i just can feel it

[void hinge]

Yessir

[ruby magnet]

i ain’t getting in

[lime birch]

dawg

[void hinge]

Bruh why

[lime birch]

dont be negative

[oak forum]

🤞

[ruby magnet]

I’m kinda the bottom of the barrel in stats

[uncut cipher]

I hope i get a lot of merit aid

[lime birch]

still got a chance

[uncut cipher]

Like more than $10k/yr

[ruby magnet]

as compared to other applicants

[lime birch]

your stats are good

[uncut cipher]

pitt only gave me $10k/yr which is not nearly enough to make it worth it

[ionic elk]

is it hard to get merit aid?

[oak forum]

You’ll get in dw

[uncut cipher]

i have no idea

[lime birch]

how generous is umass with aid

[foggy mason]

prob not too

[uncut cipher]

🤷

[foggy mason]

its a state school

[ruby magnet]

thanks bro, it might seem like sympathy seek but I genuinely think that

[lime birch]

dang

true

[foggy mason]

they dont have infinite money

[lime birch]

i dont accept any scholarships

[foggy mason]

also tution is already really low

[void hinge]

Huh?

[lime birch]

😭 this not purdue bro

dw you'll get in

[void hinge]

State schools are literally funded by the state

[uncut cipher]

Tuition oos isn't that low

[lime birch]

i doubt umass is gonna give any aid

[lime birch]

wym low

[uncut cipher]

Nahh i'm feeling good

[ruby magnet]

40k isn’t low at all

[lime birch]

40 grand bro

[uncut cipher]

they say on the website that they give merit aid

That's why i applied

[inland adder]

40k isn't low but its a lot cheaper than other public schools like uiuc

[lime birch]

what?

[foggy mason]

https://tenor.com/view/clueless-gif-24395495

[lime birch]

uiuc is 36k

am i tripping

[void hinge]

Naw it’s 56

[inland adder]

60~66k

[oak forum]

From my expierence with sunys I feel like if ur applying for a major the college isn’t really known for you’ll get some aid

[lime birch]

tution is 56???

holy shit

are yall talking about coa or tution

[oak forum]

Coa

[void hinge]

Yessir free ride to college sir

[onyx flare]

public schools are all abt the same, umd, umass, purdue, uiuc, etc

[inland adder]

coa

yea

[lime birch]

yea

[uncut cipher]

I got no merit aid from bing but that's fine because it's so damn cheap anyway

[lime birch]

even umass got a tution of 40k

so coa should be around 60

no?

[gritty wolf]

Isn’t umass 20k instate

[oak forum]

I’m oos so maybe that’s why I got some

[uncut cipher]

yeah makes sense

[lime birch]

im confused

how is umass cheaper

[void hinge]

17k

[uncut cipher]

NY state supremacy

[ionic elk]

i am not getting in

[void hinge]

Why not

[uncut cipher]

don't most applicants get in

[wary oak]

when does this come out?

[lime birch]

we all will

[uncut cipher]

6pm

10 minutes

[wary oak]

[gritty wolf]

It’s just a rumor

[inland adder]

no it is

[wary oak]

thx

[void hinge]

No

[uncut cipher]

It's pretty confirmed

[lime birch]

it is bud

[ionic elk]

me i think

[void hinge]

How is it confirmed

[lime fjord]

What are your stats

[uncut cipher]

People say that they DM'd the admissions account on instagram and they said 6pm

[lime birch]

you got 10 minutes to confirm it

[mortal cliff]

10 minutes

[lime birch]

just wait

[elder vine]

tbh I heard honors college isn't needed to succeed at UMass

[zenith trellis]

it's over for me

[elder vine]

so Im fine if I dont get into it

[lime fjord]

What are your stats

[wary oak]

hoping i get in it seems chill there

[gritty wolf]

You can get into it after you matriculate too

[uncut cipher]

I dont know much about the umass honors college but they better let me in

[gritty wolf]

If you have good stats after first semester you can apply to honors college again

[lime birch]

i didnt apply

[gritty wolf]

And I heard it’s easier

[lime birch]

honors

[ionic elk]

uhhhh im in state and 3.95 uw and 1550+ lol

[uncut cipher]

uhhhh do u have to apply for the honors?

[wary oak]

lol

[gritty wolf]

No

[elder vine]

umass has early acceptance rate of 70% so you guys should chill

[uncut cipher]

Yeah thats what im saying

[lime birch]

no way

for cs?

[void hinge]

For my school it’s 80 lol

[gritty wolf]

Just saying if you don’t get into honors you have another chance

[lime fjord]

It's like 30

[uncut cipher]

it's just a matter for me of how much $$ they give me

$$$$$$

[wary oak]

what about oos

[void hinge]

Idk

Probably lower

[elder vine]

overall

[lime birch]

who gives a shit bout overall

[ruby magnet]

lmao

[elder vine]

You CS people are crazy

[ruby magnet]

similar to purdue then?

[uncut cipher]

Imagine 6pm rolls around and nothing happens

[lime birch]

yea

[void hinge]

Joever

[lime birch]

prolly easaier than purdue

[ruby magnet]

says you applying to 9 T20’s

[lime birch]

8 mins more

[uncut cipher]

I have a gut feeling that nothing will happen at 6pm

[inland adder]

nah cs is hard anywhere though

[lime birch]

bros yapping

[inland adder]

rutgers got even worse since its on common app now

[elder vine]

would be funny

[ruby magnet]

LMAO the person who posted on CC will come here and say, NAAH I MADE IT THE FUCK UP

[lime birch]

theres like 7 minutes dawg

[elder vine]

it might also be rolling admissions starting at 6

[ruby magnet]

waves is so depressing

[elder vine]

could be like 6-7 or 6-8 when they come out

[inland adder]

fr

[void hinge]

Bruh

[lime birch]

i doubt it'd be a wawve

remember the purdue wave

😭

[inland adder]

oh god no

[gritty wolf]

They’d probably do waves to avoid their website crashing

[inland adder]

that was so bad

[lime birch]

fr

an hour of just

[inland adder]

yeah waves are done for reducing the website load

[lime birch]

realizing i got deferred

[uncut cipher]

https://tenor.com/view/let-me-in-eric-andre-wanna-come-in-gif-13730108

[void hinge]

I think it’s loaded already

So no website crash

[lime birch]

its loaded

probably

[ruby magnet]

bro i saw the loci so 💀

[lime birch]

me too

besides

everyone in the first wave

were getting accepted

so it was pretty sure

[inland adder]

yeah that was depressing

[uncut cipher]

5 mins people

[inland adder]

6 minutes

[lime birch]

[inland adder]

unfortunately yeah

[mortal cliff]

It’s not

[lime birch]

[inland adder]

letter of continued intrest

[uncut cipher]

oh ok

[inland adder]

uh like 3 days after i got the decision

[uncut cipher]

I think its automatic? i dont really remember

it wasnt separate essays iirc

[elder vine]

no they let in the top 10% of each college or you can apply after

[lime birch]

3 days

i did it like a week after

[inland adder]

yeah maybe 5 days idk

[lime fjord]

Wdym

[inland adder]

i had to cope first

[lime birch]

haha

so many got deferred

[elder vine]

idk like top 10% of students

[lime birch]

3 minutes guys

[ionic elk]

is it hard to apply and get in for honors college later

[elder vine]

idk what metrics they use. I assume stats and ECs

[mortal cliff]

Nicer dorms and a thesis, most people are dropping it their junior year to not do the thesis cause it’s kinda pointless if ur in stem or anything else really

[lime birch]

we might not evene get in

[elder vine]

Idk probably not if you're determined

[lime birch]

yea

good for better housing

[inland adder]

dorms and some schools give priority in class registration

[elder vine]

Isn't it more expensive?

like another $1k?

[onyx flare]

guys lmk if it comes out im too lazy to check my portal

[inland adder]

no, in fact its the opposite

[lime birch]

usually worth it

[tacit pendant]

We're all cooked

[lime birch]

prolly same cost

2 minutesss

[uncut cipher]

priority regestration is a huge W

[inland adder]

if you get honors, you prob get a scholarship

[mortal cliff]

Yes

Yes

But they are nice forms

Dorms

So it is worth it

[elder vine]

dropping it sounds like a good idea

[inland adder]

2 minutes

[mortal cliff]

If ur in honors u don’t have to go honors housing

[elder vine]

oh ok

I hope I get in then 🤞

[livid venture]

[vestal kiln]

Do you guys have a source? they dont mention it anywhere

[vestal kiln]

[inland adder]

well it'd be next fall, thats typically how waitlists work

for the current term

[lime birch]

i picked only fall

[mortal cliff]

I was a waitlist

[inland adder]

i did both

[mortal cliff]

And I asked them

[lime birch]

why spring

[mortal cliff]

And I picked both two

[inland adder]

idk just to max chances

[mortal cliff]

Why not, bigger chance of getting in

That’s what I did last year

[lime birch]

2 percent to 3 perecent

[inland adder]

did you get in through spring term?

[mortal cliff]

No I got in fall

[inland adder]

[sour flower]

what’s the chance of getting off the waitlist

[lime birch]

realistically zero

[inland adder]

not a lot apparently

[lime birch]

2% tho

[inland adder]

they say that on their website

[mortal cliff]

Not a lot

But it can happen

[inland adder]

The majority of students on the waitlist are not offered fall admission.

[mortal cliff]

I urge you all to write a loci
