I interviewed 9/11 still haven’t hear anything except active consideration on 10/17. Apparently UMass sends updates every 2 weeks so I’m guessing I’ll either hear another active consideration or get a decision tomorrow.

I’m pretty much the exact same boat. Any news today?

Nothing so far :/
For those who have gotten an acceptance, congratulations! For everyone else, be prepared to wait for a long time. UMass does a very thorough and considered review of each applicant. If you end up in next year's class, you will be very glad they did such a good job selecting your classmates!
my guess is most decisions are going to be coming out Mondays based on the trend so far this year....
Any ideas about how far along UMASS is with their interview cycle? haven't heard yet and starting to worry
I interviewed last week and they said it was pretty early. Hang in there, buddy.

Sorry if this has been asked already, does UMMS allow notes for the MMI? Even if its just outside of the room

yes they give you notecards to write on!
UMass requires 7 years of residency to consider an applicant as an in-state, so I am guessing that they don’t grant in-state status for out of state folks. However, this is a guess. Anyone else with knowledge on this?
When I interviewed they said your status cant change from what you have it as at the time of application

After confirming the interview date given, did a check mark appear in the interview scheduled box on the portal for everyone?
Check mark near interview scheduled appeared before they emailed me about offering an interview. Then, it took a while for check mark to appear after I got interviewed.

Oh, strange! Mine still has not come up. Maybe I should contact them to double check I'm all set then...
If they emailed you about the interview and you confirmed via email or phone, you should be all set. They send a reminder a day or two before.

I interviewed 8 weeks ago and haven't heard anything... buckle up XP
Hi guys, just wanted to pop in say that after watching/hearing about two people I know who applied to UMass go through the cycle last year, UMass is notoriously slow. Both in giving out IIs (especially to in staters), and in giving back decisions. Buckle up, they might end up testing your patience!
One of the guys at my work had an interview there and is still waiting to hear back...he got the invite in I think, Sept., after being complete in July.

They told my cohort if you were rejected right off the back your decision would come back in 2 weeks. After that they review monthly, so it potentially could take several months.
wow, they didn't tell any of my cohort that! thanks for the information
Yes! They welcome them.
