Graduate School Admission Results

UMASS and its fuckall admission process!! they could have just fucking released a google sheet with results and the process would have been much simpler and less stressfull!!

Easily the worst review process ever; undergrad from top tier-2 uni; GPA 8.76, GRE 328, WorkEx 3yrs+, 1 publication

Still under review. I guess that's how rolling admits work. I am MS/Ph.D. applicant though.

Anybody's application still under review?

Tier 3 University from India with 2 pubs and good GPA, LORs, and GRE scores. Didn't expect a rejection considering some of the other admits I received. Very stressful process though urgh.

Just checked. Under review became update pending. Want to know if this happened for everyone. If that's the case, then can we assume this is a mass reject wave?

LOOOOOL.

Haha, same. It's finally showing as "update pending". I hope that it's not a reject but that looks unlikely. This is certainly one of the worst admission processes of all - why can't they simply release all the admits/rejects at roughly the same time like CMU or other universities.

After checking for the 158th time, status changed from 'Application Under Review' to 'Update Pending', which probably means the department made its decision and forwarded it to the graduate programs office. Did the status change for anybody else? This could mean anything - could be mass reject. I don't know, I think I am going to cry 😭

Rejected twice. Will need to write GRE again and apply next year.

Not waitlist. Did anyone get a status update today?

Finally!!. Had given up hope. Congratulations to everyone who got in!

Status changed to Update Pending this morning. Anybody else with me? What should we expect?

Status changed to update pending on Spire 2 days ago. Got an email about update to the application yesterday. Status changed to Denied today.

Just received email from umass about update posted on website. it says 'update pending', Do we have any chance now?

Update pending since 3 days and now denied...... fml

3 research papers, 2 national hackathon winner, 4 research experiences and interns. Tier 1 (non-IIT) college in India. CS Undergrad.

TTPB - Still waiting! I am probably checking every 30 minutes if it makes you feel any better. But I am thinking it will be a mass rejection for us since two-three people already got accepted today and it doesn't make sense to send acceptances one by one. I just want the wait to end, I already know what it is!
