When will the early action decisions start coming?
@scout07 According to their website - mid-January.
I thought it was mid-December.
From U Mass website–
“Freshman: Early Action (Falll) Admission decisions will be communicated beginning in mid-December.”
@nwmom2boys - Thank you - I looked at the Admissions site Dates and Deadlines - must have missed that. That is good news - we are still waiting for portal info from them.
what is your status on the portal? My dd’s says
“Your application is under consideration for admission”
@Doberlady - don’t have portal info yet - hoping we get it today.
“as of November 17, 2016, the status of your application is under review”
Same @corin0
My son doesn’t have anything yet. By portal, I assume you mean Spire? His guidance counselor hasn’t submitted her part yet ( due Nov. 20).
My son got his Spire log in info yesterday.
To avoid driving yourselves crazy, I recommend you review acceptance threads from previous years. The notification process has historically dragged on far longer than it should. There appears to be no apparent pattern to acceptance notification order, although everyone will try to guess what it might be. There will invariably be entries here that thinks its alphabetical: “My last name starts with an ‘M.’ Did any other M’s get notified?”…or by college: “Did any other CompSci majors get notified?” or “Maybe the Honors College gets notified first…or last”
Then there will be all the posts that say “every other school my son or daughter applied to has notified us. We’re going crazy waiting! This isn’t fair to the kids! UMass should be ashamed!” Etc., etc.
Let the fun begin!
@Lerxst - I remember all too well from last year with D16. I’m only hoping since S17 applied EA and she was last moment RD we’ll at least hear something earlier than mid-April.
:-/
I finally got the guidance counselor to submit the transcript! A day late, too, U Mass says it will be OK. I really hope the mid-December date for notification is correct. It was for some, I think, last year. Anyway, yes, let the fun begin!
Oh, shoot “Beginning mid-December…”
@nwmom2boys Yeh I believe it comes out in patches, meaning score roll out at different times lasting from mid-December to mid-January.
Well, that’s not so bad, I guess.
The table on spire says:
Freshman Early Action(fall only): end of December through mid-January
Freshman Regular decision(fall): mid-March through April
Freshman Regular decision(spring): October through December
Transfer Fall: March through June
Transfer Spring: October through December
END of December. Not mid
I see mid-December here in Spire–
