One son was admitted wave 2 to Physics. Other son was waitlisted for ME. OOS. Both have comparable stats, ec, great essays. Boys applied to 15 schools and one got into all 15 and the other 14. They are going to UMASS Lowell. Best wishes to everyone!!!

For those following along, lol, dd was waitlisted for CS. Stats: 3.9/4.1, 35 ACT, varsity sport, part time job, STEM-related leadership at school, yada yada yada. I had a bad feeling when she didnât make it in the first round. Oh wellâŠonward and upward.
As expected, the last wave= deferred. I donât think I even want to be placed on the waitlist.
My brother was just waitlisted. 3.7 UW GPA, 4.2 weighted, 1420 SAT, 8 APs, in-state, wants to major in compsci. Heâs disappointed - this was his first choice by far and he has 3 family members currently attending.

Waitlisted.
Does anyone know if their waitlists actually move?
Their website makes it seem unlikely, although I guess it depends on major.

Son waitlisted for CS. His stats are pretty good and we expected he would get in. But after the first 2 waves, we adjusted the expectations.
So does waitlist here means a deferral? Or deferral and waitlist are different options?
I believe they published the numbers from years past on how many transitioned to acceptance from the waitlist.
Accepted OOS CS with Chancellors!

Son waitlisted for business school. OOS 1390 sat , 37 GPA 8-9 honors/AP classes. Catholic school and several honors there. Very disappointed was first choice.
Does anyone have that spreadsheet that someone shared a while back about admit stats
Dd in state waitlisted CS/Math.
3.96/4.5 GPA, 9 APs, Multi sport varsity athlete, club athlete, NHS, solid volunteer hours, part time job. UM was her #1 even though shes accepted into way more competitive schools.
Rejected. Sports Management, OOS. 3.8 UW, 4.1 W. Test optional. TON of ECs and leadership - 3 varsity sports, volunteer work, 4 clubs, part-time job.
It was his first choice in the beginning but as things dragged on his interest in the big southern football schools has grown and his interest in UMass has faded. He was actually way more upset about the deferral from South Carolina than he was about the rejection from UMass. Heâs been accepted to Delaware, Rutgers, Indiana and LSU (still waiting for Tennessee and for SC to make a decision on his deferral), so heâs good.

I am frankly quite shocked by how many relatively high stats kids get waitlisted/rejected.
