Will you attend Umass?
Congrats! Did you apply EA?
Congratulations! I have worked with several very good software engineers who were CS majors from U.Mass.
Congrats!! Did you receive an email to check your portal or an email with the decision?
What time did you find out about your decision? I heard that the portals update overnight
They send you a mail.
Thanks, Dad2Girls!
Collegededi, not sure right now! I am about to hear from Rutgers (probably within a day or 2) and UMNTC as well. I am wondering that why have I not heard from UMN till now. People say that make decisions for strong applications first and then come down the weak ones. Since I am a reach for UMN, it may take me a couple of weeks more before I get my UMN decision. If I get into UMN, then its for sure or else it would be a hard decision for me to choose from UMass and Rutgers.
Bdw, tell me how hard is it to get into UMass Amherst for Computer science. I have heard that it is very hard.
natws14, I got the email in the evening.
senioritisfr, I got an email asking me to check my status as it was updated. I rushed to my laptop and switched it on as well, but there was so much excitement within me that I logged in from my phone itself only to find that I have been accepted and when I scrolled down I found that I have been awarded with the chancellors scholarship which was totally unexpected because of my SAT.
cgjunior3, yes I applied EA
Even I did not expect the scholarship because of my SAT . Even I am waiting for Rutgers and UMN . Even i am not strong for UMN . And yeah it will be tough between Umass and Rutgers. So much of similarity !
