<p>If it says “under review” then it just means that they havent updated the site with an admission decision yet. GOD this is frustrating. I was sort of hoping to have gotten a response yesterday like a lot of the other colleges. Im PRAYING we hear by christmas…preferably this weekend. CMON UMASS!!</p>

22

<p>Yes, don’t get too excited about “under review” status. Mine has been “under review” for about a month now.</p>

23

<p>uggg great
comeon UMASS</p>

24

<p>If you are really excited, you could try calling admissions and asking if they have mailed decisions already. If they say no, ask when.</p>

25

<p>Well I got my decision in the mail today and I got accepted into their Engineering Program! </p>

<p>so keep checking your mail I guess…</p>

<p>It was kind of my safety school, but it is still exciting to finally have pressure off from other school… </p>

<p>Good Luck!</p>

26

<p>Thanks for the info, RedSox629! The post office around here is kinda slow, so I really hope I got mine tomorrow… Oh, and congrats of course!</p>

27

<p>okay so I guessed they officially started sending out decisions. Congrats redsox! Im really hoping mine comes in the next few days. It would suck to have to wait until after christmas for a decision. Im guessing you live in massachusetts redsox?</p>

28

<p>I think you should get it before Christmas for sure unless you live outside of the United States. :)</p>

29

<p>yeah i live in the US haha. im concerned though cuz I took the ACT in novemeber so they probably got my scores late…hopefully that doesnt delay my decision! ive literally been agonizing about this for the past 2 weeks!</p>

30

<p>Anyone hear anything</p>

31

<p>I got my acceptance letter today and I live in eastern Mass if this helps! :)</p>

32

<p>Aaargh I can’t take this anymore! I’m in NY, and if this doesn’t come by Monday, I might honestly die of anxiety. My friend has gotten seven acceptances and I have nada. It’s really good to hear that people have started getting responses, though.</p>

<p>Also, the scholarships in the acceptance thread seem really arbitrary. Does anyone know if they’re influenced by need, or is it only achievement?</p>
