UMass Amherst

Saw UMass Amherst acceptance on the survey. Anyone want to claim it? Could you talk about the visit day or any details?

Oh god no, not another rejection. I can't take this right now.

I would wait to call it a rejection. This could be just the first wave and usually they seem like they go on for one or two days so we could hear tomorrow.

The problem is, I haven't heard from any of the universities that I applied but Princeton and Brown. Only they told me I was rejected. The others just didn't contact me at all, I have been seeing people getting accepted or waitlisted from here. I just wish that they told me that I was rejected for sure. The wait is killing me.

I am dying too because I haven't heard either way.

could be an anomaly. same as yale (just 2 acceptances which have been claimed by no one so far).

I can claim it! Visit days are March 29-30. I was honestly surprised to hear from them this early as their application deadline was later than a lot of the other schools I applied to. The email explicitly asks about my current thoughts on acceptance decisions, which I would take to imply that they are trying to feel out how many others to offer acceptances to.

Congrats! Sad way to start the weekend for me....
