<p>My son sent his application in to UMass (online) at the beginning of Dec. I want to check the status of his application, but the site says I need to have an access code that will be mailed to us when they get his application… NO CODE YET… how long should this take?</p>
<p>I applied there, as did many people I know, and so far the general reaction is that, well they are horribly slow.</p>
<p>Amherst takes forever to send out stuff, its insane</p>
<p>hmmmm back on 2004 they were very efficient- remember that often UMASS will not tell the parents anything- some federal law they claim- we had to get our son’s permission to inquire about his bill that WE ARE PAYING!!! GRRRRRR! once you know how to get around the system and have sent flowers or candy or Harry And David to the inside people. (bribery- HA!) then the college is a pleasure especially Commonwealth Coll. and worth the money…so my son says…</p>
