<p>Does anybody know when we will start hearing about early decisions and if acceptance letter will include scholarship information</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>The earliest anyone reported an acceptance last year was December 16.</p>

<p>Not sure about scholarship stuff. I didn’t re-read all of last year’s thread, but here it is if you are interested:</p>

<p>Thank you…</p>

<p>Just got email saying decisions will be out in next couple of weeks</p>

5

<p>Keep in mind that means that decisions will <em>start</em> to come out in a couple of weeks. It could take another couple of weeks after that before everything is out.</p>

<p>It’s very frustrating when you see everyone else getting decisions and yours hasn’t come yet, so just be aware that that is how UMass has operated in the past.</p>

<p>notrichenough do you have children at UMass and at the University of South Carolina?</p>

7

<p>Doing a little CC-stalking, are we?</p>

<p>Yes.</p>

8

<p>No…I am also interested in the sports management program at USC and i thought I saw you posting there.</p>

<p>Neither of my kids is in the sports management program so I can’t really comment on it for either school, other than to say I’ve read that the UMass-Amherst program is one of the best in the country.</p>

<p>Some lists I’ve seen include SC, some don’t, for what it’s worth. They all include UMass.</p>

<p>Because of the scholarship my D got, SC is cheaper than UMass even though we are OOS for SC and IS for UMass. Your stats are right in line for the same scholarship at SC.</p>

10

<p>Do you know how common tuition waivers are at UMass?</p>

11

<p>They are not very common, UMass has nothing like the OOS scholarship list that SC has.</p>

<p>As an OOS’er, you have a decent chance of getting something to help defray the difference between OOS and IS tuition (especially if you applied EA), but this is likely to only be around $5K or so.</p>

<p>If you have financial need, you might get more, but UMass doesn’t do all that well in meeting need either. They are not very generous.</p>

<p>Thank you for the information. Really like the Umass program but I think it is going to be 2 expensive for me to afford to go there. Hopefully USC will work out</p>

13

<p>If you dont mind me asking what scholarship did your daughter get at USC?</p>

14

<p>are decisions always mailed or are they updated online first?</p>

15

<p>

She got a McKissick - in-state tuition + $2000/year.</p>

16

<p>Just got an email from Umass</p>

<p>I am happy to tell you that UMass Amhest will begin mailing Early Action decisions on Monday, December 17th. Decisions on complete applications will continue to be mailed through mid-January. We encourage you to log onto your SPIRE account to check the status of your application. Please note that decisions may appear online before you receive a mail notification.</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone who is waiting for a decision.</p>
