Graduate School Admission Results

Any Indians or international student with an admit yet?

Unofficial email from POI who I had interview with (I applied for MS/PhD but got accepted to MS Fall 2021). Math & CS undergrad from a small LAC in the US, 3 on-campus research experience, no internship, no publication. 1 conference. Also got an offer from the POI to join their research group. Area: NLP (but no experience in NLP)

TTPB: I can also navigate to the page with the letter by clicking Main Menu -> Admissions -> Student Center - New Grad. There is the "NAME Graduate Student Center" page with five sections: Welcome ("Congratulations on your admission to the University of Massachusetts Amherst!"), Confirmation Status (and here's the link to the letter), Graduate Student Employment, Financial Aid, and Contact Information. And on the right side of the page, there is a small box "Search for Classes" and under it another section "Grad Student Resources" with the link to "Check Status of Application Materials." I am pretty sure I just had the "Grad Student Resources" section (with the link to check application status) on this page last time I logged on to spire.

TTBP: I'm the same person that just asked that. I am having trouble understanding. I forgot to mention I am a UMass undergrad so my spire may have more than most people. I click on Main Menu > Admissions > Graduate Applicant Center. On that page, I see a section " Grad Student Resources" and under that one of the options is "Check Status of Application Materials" Where in this navigation should I look? I would greatly appreciate more details!

TTPB: when you log in to spire, the link to the letter is on the first page you see, under "Confirmation Status."

For the person who randomly checked spire and saw the letter but didn't see the status change, where did you randomly see a letter on spire?

randomly checked spire and saw the letter. haven't gotten any emails about status update. so happy :) the application status is still "update pending," but the letter and other stuff are already available.

TTPB: Are you a US student?

TTPB: Got a mail of status change yesterday. portal was updated today with acceptance letter

TTPB: Did you get a mail or you just randomly checked on portal?

Does UMass give out rejects in the end? Anyone got any idea?

TTPB: Sorry other trolls have ruined the credibility of this forum, but I promise you these are legit.

Biochem major, comp sci minor. 1 year research experience in bioinformatics lab. 3.02 GPA. Strong GRE (168/165), strong LoR from research advisors, strong SoP. Last 60 credit hour GPA of 3.8. Received acceptance email at 1:30 AM EST.

Lol. Thee below two posts are obvious trolls right? A lot of discussion and they appear out of thin air.

Received email yesterday on an update to my application status. Logged in today and it shows that I am accepted. Much needed.

TTPB: UMass didn't allow deferrals to Fall 2021 for Fall 2020 admits. They only allowed deferrals to Spring 2021 with a deposit. I got an admit for the MS program (applied for MS/PhD) for Fall 2020 but had to decline due to this.

TTPB: UMass did not give deferals. Stop spreading anxiety. "Please refer to the recent email entitled, "Updates on Fall Planning 2020." You may defer for one semester (Fall 2020) only. However, if you are unable to come to campus in January 2021 or decline to enroll remotely, you will need to reapply for fall 2021. Please carefully read the details of the email. The deadline to submit a request for a deferral is July 31, 2020."

Did anyone email Umass and asked them about whats going on?
