Well, I'm pretty sure I managed to accidentally manifest three of them by asking around this time two weeks ago, so... No Friday A's today, huh?

Got the A earlier today! Absolutely my dream school, so unbelievably excited! Interviewed 11/18, in-state and LM 69. For those of you still waiting to hear back, don't lose hope!

Does it seem like all II's have been sent out for the cycle from Umass?
Someone just got one this past Thursday, so probably still a few!
Hey! Unfortunately, we signed an agreement that we can’t disclose specifics about the interview. I will say that the interviewers were all very friendly and encouraging. They want to learn about you and for you to do well! Make sure to practice some questions (online or from an MMI book) and remember to have fun with it!

Do AC emails come out exactly two weeks post II?

No. I never got an AC and was admitted a bit over two weeks post interview
Is anyone who has filed their fafsa still not able to make a net partner account? Mine was processed 2/1 and it still isn't letting me create an account

Going off this, any MSTP people know if we need to do this?

it let me create my account but the whole portal is still blank which is weird since I've done FAFSA and CSS profile
Anyone know if II's are still going out?
Any decisions come out today?
Hmmm thanks for the info. Do you happen to know how long after you got the "fafsa successfully processed" email you signed in to make you're account? Ik it says 24-48 business "hours" for umass to get it from fafsa but I was confused if that translated to 3-6 days lol

If you call into the Tue/Thu financial aid office hours the office people are super helpful! That info is included in the financial aid email as an attachment. I got it about a week ago.

Has anyone sent a letter of intent/interest following an active consideration notice? Is that an option?

I haven't sent one but have been looking into it! There is definitely some conflicting advice on it though. My advisor said that sending it without hearing about waitlist or sending it too soon after your interview could make it seem insincere and advised against it, but other people have said it can help, so who knows!
I'm with you on this one, been waiting since the end of October 🙁
I wish we got some sort of notification when we are likely to be discussed or something. Being glued to our email every Friday for months is crazy. Do we think people have gotten rejected post interview throughout these past few months? Or are they holding everyone who has not been accepted?
Seriously this wait is killing me!!

A today, IS, interviewed early Jan. Good luck everyone!!
I’m fairly certain I’ve seen people on this thread post that they got post-II R’s throughout the cycle... I’ve also been waiting to hear since mid November. I’m assuming it’ll be a waitlist spot at this point and they just haven’t released WL decisions yet.

Got the A today, interviewed 1/5/21. DONT LOSE HOPE. I’m a reapplicant (first cycle 2018) and it’s been two sweat it out cycles for me. So if you’re down about your situation feel free to dm me I’ve made all the applicant mistakes and learned from them, I’m always down to talk application strategy or give anybody a pep talk!
Also got the A this week after interviewing late Jan! I received an active consideration email about a week before. I'm OOS with no ties so I'm very surprised.
Did you get added to the accepted students Facebook group?

do you mind sharing when you interviewed! Thanks!
I know this isn’t the most accurate indicator but I think you can search the incoming class Facebook group to see how many members there are
hi! for those of you who have been admitted, has anyone been able to complete the umass financial aid application on NetPartner? it says that it's due on March 1, 2021 for those already admitted, but whenever I click on the "Application" tab, I just get a blank screen - not sure if it might be an issue with my computer, but I tried it both on Chrome and Safari

It’s the same for me. I emailed them about it last week but haven’t heard back yet. Glad to know it’s not just me though!

I went to the office hours and they fixed that for me. Something about there being a block on some ppl's accounts by mistake or something, I don't remember. But it literally takes them 5 mins to take care of it!
okay thank you! I may try that next week then!
