Serious question, is "no news good news" for this school?
I interviewed a few months ago and I haven't gotten any response yet. And it seems like all responses (well majority) have been waitlists. But, UMass has a good WL? If I am not getting news now, is this a R?
I am lost y'all 😭

Fellow lost person chiming in, but UMass has already sent out a good amount of post-II rejections, so if we were definite rejections, I think they would’ve already sent them!
That being said, I believe a WL is what we are realistically hoping for at this point. UMass seems to have a good WL, so I think getting a WL right now would be better than no news.

Hi, would you mind sharing the first letter of your last name? Based on my school, they seem to be going in alphabetical order and I was curious about where they are...
This strikes me as odd because I haven’t really seen any post II R on here. Not saying what you said is untrue, it’s just funny that most other school threads seem to have a large # of post II rejections that get reported assuming the school does in fact reject post ii

If you look on March 11th of this thread there’s a few, and I know some people personally who were rejected post-II on that day as well.
Is this true?

I'm trying to figure that out, it went G->S->R and I'm W. Any input from those who've heard back would help my ~investigation~
Doesn't R come before S?

I’m not sure if this is helpful, but my last names at the beginning of the alphabet and I haven’t heard anything since my AC in December

Oh, yes. Maybe I should not be a doc 🙁
No! Don't say that. You got this. Trust.
I am still able to log in
I’ve had something like this happen to me before like two months ago where I thought my portal closed but my password just got screwed up. So maybe try requesting a new password(that’s what I did)?
Edit: Oops responded to the wrong post
I went to office hours for financial aid and they said to expect awards by the end of this week or latest early next week!
Don't have mine yet, but when I checked the portal I could see that my documents changed status from "Not Reviewed" to "Received", so I was thinking we'd get the info soon!
To all members of AC fam: Happy check-your-email Friday. Stay Frosty.
No emails yet!
Nothing today???
Also btw, looks like some people might have gotten off the waitlist recently. The fb went up by 10 after being stagnant for a bit.

Have any other early interviewees not heard anything since the AC email in October? Is silence is a good thing at this point, or does this mean I’m likely to get axed with a post-interview R soon? I know this process is confusing, but I’m curious about the order of their review since later interviewees have already been given a more definitive decision than AC
I’m in same boat, I was interviewed late September and havnt heard anything for a decision yet

I interviewed 12/21, AC twice in January and haven't heard since. Have no idea what the process or timeline is but it's so frustrating

my main frustration is that I was told I should get a decision in 1-2 months, and that was in November. Harvard rejected me 6 months after my interview but at least they were upfront and told me it would be a 6 month wait. I wish Umass had been more transparent/realistic in their projection.
Anyway, I've long since resigned myself to not hearing an initial decision from Umass until the end of April. (will I still furiously refresh on Fridays? most definitely)

Agreed. End of April in my mind; Every friday in reality. Although, I don't imagine they will do this Friday cause they did Monday, but that's not going to stop me from refreshing.

I'm hoping for any news at this point
You think they gave decisions this Monday to avoid giving decisions on April Fool's Day?

Apparently schools need to fill up their spots by March 15th. So I believe so..
