<p>@bb Hmm, but I applied RD though and getting kind of worried since I’m instate…</p>
<p>has anyone heard in long island if they got accepted through regular decision? and how do you hear, by email or snail mail?</p>
<p>me too fitted hats, i applied RD and im instate. I checked online and it said that my application is still under review. I am getting really frustrated because if i dont get in ill have to commute to Worcester State :(.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t worry about it too much, I know a couple people who have applied RD-in-state and have not heard yet. You might not hear from them until April. I applied as a transfer back in mid January, the admissions office downloaded my application on 2/9, and I have not heard anything back yet, other than the letter with status info.</p>
<p>If anyone on here is a transfer student and receives a letter could you please post? I’m curious when they will begin mailing them out, especially because the application deadline is 4/15 and I had mine in the second week of January.</p>
<p>im also instate who have not heard the decision yet, althought some people at my school have the first week of March.
I was just wondering, for those who heard their decision, did your online status change before you got the mail or it didnt change at all</p>
<p>Status did not change for S until a few days after he received the acceptance package.</p>
<p>Martina, are you sure? Because I was told that the online status would change before the letter would arrive. I would actually prefer a letter, I guess I’m old fashioned that way. ;)</p>
<p>The on-line status changed 4 days after S2 received his package.</p>
<p>My daughter’s status also changed a few days after she received her acceptance package.</p>
<p>M11191 - I am 100% sure. 
It was 3-4 days after.</p>
<p>Hey thanks guys, you have cured me of my compulsive web status checking.</p>
<p>I got a reply to an email sent to admissions today. They have had over 31,000 applications and are releasing decisions on a daily basis. They hope to complete reviews by next Monday.</p>
<p>That is A LOT of applications, that makes me nervous, to say the least, I wonder if my chances are better because I’m a transfer? I had a first semester GPA of 4.0, decent high school grades, although not excellent, Political Science Major, In-State, going to UConn now, I honestly have no clue what my chances are, I hope I hear soon I’m losing my mind.</p>
<p>Good luck M11191. I was a nervous wreck too, this was the best option for S and he really like it when we visited. Your stats sound good - good luck!</p>
<p>I think everyone saw that notice first thing when you log in your online status, they will continue mailing out decisions till mid-April…OMG…</p>
<p>Yeah I’ve been checking that status so much I almost had a heart attack when I saw that message appear, until I read it, and surprise turned to dismay. I might not hear until JUNE.</p>
<p>M11191, Can I ask why you are transferring from UCONN. It is high on my D list of choices?</p>
<p>UConn is a fantastic school and in my opinion the best public university in the Northeast. However, I simply want to go to UMass more. I’m originally from the Amherst area, and have a number of ties to the town, and I just feel it’s a better fit for me. There is also a good chance my family will be moving to Massachusetts within a couple years. So basically, I’m not transferring because I’m dissatisfied with UConn, just because I would rather attend UMass. I actually plan on going to UConn Law School, assuming everything works out;)</p>
<p>UConn v. UMass is a tough one, each school has advantages over the other, especially in specific majors. Amherst is certainly a better “college town”, but the general infrastructure of UConn is much more advanced, not to mention the dorms.</p>
