My daughter got WL from OOS, but since she already got into a school she loves, I encouraged her (and she agreed) to get off the WL and help someone waiting on their dream school today. And she did. Good luck to all of you!

My son did the same. UMass Amherst is out of state for us, and although offered in-state equivalent, he was not accepted to his major and that is too unknown compared to other schools that accepted to CS. He officially declined last night. If enough do that, maybe they will increase the last round of acceptances! Best wishes to all still waiting!
Thank you very much for the info! Best of luck to you and your son.

Just got rejected from umass? US applicant living in Ireland, graduated with the equivalent of a 37 IB diploma, great EC’s and a killer personal statement. Got into penn state UP which has a lower acceptance rate so it very confused?

Umass wasn’t one of my top choices but this has made me worried about my other schools now

My son got rejected. 3.8 unweighted, 4.75 weighted. Captain of the robotics team. Accepted at Colorado School of Mines. Waitlisted at UW and NYU. Very weird.

top choice. rejected. was extremely surprised because I received really great scholarships from all of my other schools and I didn’t apply to a competitive program. I don’t know how to feel right now honestly.

I got into NYU and Fordham, I’ll be fine. I think I’m among Amherst’s >75th percentile of applicants. Still got rejected.
i’ll try to transfer after a semester but i’m pretty upset because I had my heart set on umass and I honestly didn’t think I would be rejected. guess it was more competitive than I thought.

I feel for you. My son was so hopeful but it’s been a sea of rejections. We’re from Vegas. Wondering if that has anything to do with it,

I got rejected to three safety/target schools in a row. I don’t understand how this is happening.

Do they sometimes reject “over-qualified applicants” to protect yield or something like that? Or am I just overestimating my application? It was a safety for me also
