Is there a possibility that I can still receive an invitation for the Honors RAP BioTap program if I appeal?
With apologies to Lin-Manuel Miranda: How do we wait like we’re running out of time…
@SaifoSehamy Ummmm…didn’t you get rejected Mr?
@mihirt19 yes madam.
@sreya124 Huh…that actually surprises me. My GPA barely breaks the 3.5 range and I got in…but my friends with close to 4.0 didn’t, and we all have similar test scores…I wonder what else factors into these decisions then…
@BladeHunter Did you hear back today by mail or spire? I have a low gpa for the school as well and am still waiting to hear. But some people in my school whom meet the schools standards have been denied or wait listed. Really hoping to hear back soon as the assistant director for admissions told me I would hear back last week! Hoping I still have a chance hearing back THIS late!
Just got the notification this morning that I got in! I was admitted to undeclared! I Checked spire this morning and it changed from under review to admitted! So excited. Good luck to everyone still waiting!
@kjhoyt congrats! gives me some optimism knowing there is still hope.
Yay!
@BladeHunter They might have given more importance to your SAT scores and ECs etc maybe?
Anyone hear back today?
I called in today and they told me the decision over the phone. I was accepted into my second choice education. (first choice was business) I was very upset that they are that slow. I applied RD back in December. Many of my friends got their decisions before me and they applied very close to the deadline. Plus, it is mid-April and some people still haven’t gotten their decisions yet , which leaves them with way less time to consider. UMA is not the only college with overwhelming number of applicants. And yet all the other 14 colleges I applied to got back to me by April 1st. There’s no excuse dragging decision notifications into mid-April.
Anyway, I just want to let people know that acceptances are still coming out. Best of luck to the rest of you that are still waiting!
Nice of you to share. Congratulations!
And it’s April 15 and still nothing.
I swear to god if I don’t get a decision by the end of tonight I am going to flip. Its pathetic.
Have you called or emailed admissions, they might be able to give you their decision before the weekend? After all, decision day is only 2 weeks away. Good luck everyone whose still waiting.
Just called admissions. The lady on the phone was incredibly rude and then said I was denied. Nice to know I submitted my application back in October and am just hearing this information 6 months later.
and my portal still says under review. So disappointed in this school.
Sorry, so disappointing. Why can’t they just post their decisions online/on Spire, like the other schools? Show some consideration to the stress that students & parents are under to make the best choice, academically, socially & financially. Wonder if umass just trying to increase their rankings and sense of demand.
@slaymartha so sorry about the bad news and the rude treatment. There is no excuse for that. If anything, they should be super kind to students who were not accepted. Shame on her. I hope you have some other good options.
