I was just invited to apply to the BioTap at UMass. I was wondering if anyone knew how many people apply to a program that can only take 48 students per year. On that same note, does anyone know the acceptance rate of students who are invited to and apply to the BioTap? I don’t want to get my hopes up about the program only to be waitlisted or denied.
Also, since I just made an account for this question; are any of you in the program? If so, do you recommend it?
Is anyone in the BioTap even on College confidential?
I went to the open house, and Bruce Byers told us that 600-700 are invited, 300 apply, 48 get in. 48/300 is 16%. I hope that helps!
I wasn’t able to attend that open house due to the snow storm, but that’s really helpful information. exactly what I wanted. Thank you and good luck to you if you applied/plan to apply
@elizajanebh thanks for the info. DS has yet to send in his BioTap application. It’s useful to know what the acceptance rate is!
