Graduate School Admission Results

Got TA.

Oh, come on, UMass!! Give the results already, please!! Can't wait anymore. Dying out of anxiety. Start your "ROLLING" asap.

TTPB: When did you write to the Admissions office and when did they reply?

TTPB : Admissions office said they can't say exactly when it will come but they said it will be soon. Someone should ask the CICS department or some student already there who can ask for us or the graduate program staff and give us an estimate atleast! (I was only answered by graduate office) If someone does hear anything, please tell.

SERIOUSLY whats the deal with umass? does anybody here have any idea on whats going on?

TTPB: Can you share your field of study?

Contacted by a professor not mentioned in my SOP. Received an offer letter after 5 days from the interview. 2 years relevant work experience in the industry, 3 conference publications.

Hi, I'm the one who interviewed with a prof last week, and I think not all the admissions for MS have not been done yet because even PhD applications are not fully considered yet. But I feel like you could be safe to ask the admission committee if you haven't heard for 10 weeks as you should be heard back by then according to the website.

TTPB : I am the poster who said the argument is faulty. I am sorry if that offended you but that was not my intention. I just pointed out the 2 flaws/corrections in your reasoning. I also dont see how you took upon yourself the whole its-the-uni-fault-for-keeping-different -info. I just pointed what uni has presented and did not mean anything personal to you. All I mean is the results should have started rolling out by now if we go by SPIRE or gradcafe posts 2020. And I am just anxiously waiting and being paranoid about it.

TTPB: I'm not the previous replier, just saw the argument so went to check at www.cics.umass.edu/admissions/application-instructions. It says March 15 in the first line under Graduate Admissions Decisions.

TTPB saying my argument is faulty: Lol, wish you had better abilities to analyze arguments! 1. If you open cics.umass.edu/admissions/application-instructions, you will see it say March 30. If a different link says March 15, that's an inconsistency on the uni's end. 2. I know what "rolling" means. Maybe you don't know what "patience" or "politeness" means.

TTPB saying my argument is faulty: Lol, wish you had better ability to analyze arguments! 1. If you open the link cics.umass.edu/admissions/prospective-graduates, you will see it is March 30. If another link is saying March 15, that is an inconsistency on the uni's end. 2. I know the meaning of "rolling". Maybe you don't know what "staying patient" or "being polite" means.

TTPB: True! Says March 15 right here : cics.umass.edu/admissions/application-instructions

TTPB: Your argument is faulty. 2 correctio ns. 1) The website say ending on March 15 and not March 30. 2) Do you know the meaning of "rolling". They have said rolling from Jan 15 to March 15 and not a single decision yet!

I see a lot of questions about MS admission decisions for UMass Amherst. Though the spire portal says that the avg. time to make a decision in 6-10 weeks. Their website clearly says "Fall admissions decisions are made on a rolling basis starting January 15 and ending March 30." -https://www.cics.umass.edu/admissions/prospective-graduates We may have to wait for a little more time. Hope this helps!

Spire says - "Depending on the size of the applicant pool, it typically takes six to ten weeks from the application deadline for the program committee to communicate their admissions recommendations to the Graduate School." It's 9 weeks since application deadline today!

GRE waived due to Covid.

TTPB: yeah man they're taking unusually long time this year. since they didnt give deferrals for last year admits i hope there'll be plenty accepts given out this time

Interviewed with a prof not mentioned in my SoP. Area: AI/ML (note: I'm a current UMass student.)

Interviewed on Feb 8th with four faculties. Received a further phone interview from the coordinator, hope I can get the offer from this school.
