UMass has terrible merit aid for in-state students.</p>
<p>You got $1000 more than my kid got, and he had slightly better stats, and was also an engineering major. He didn’t apply EA though.</p>
<p>I hope you are also getting the Adams, if so $3700/year is not that bad.</p>
<p>Whoa wait how does Umass decide on scholarships? It must be random because I got 5000 and my sat was like 1170/1730 and I have a 3.5 gpa… Pretty low compared to you guys I’m surprised…</p>
<p>You have to remember, we already get a good tuition rate when compared to OOS students so, MA students will only receive the minimum. Twin908 are you from MA? My son had a 3.5 GPA and 28 ACT and did not get any money but acceptance. He did get the John and Abigail Scholarship. International students have to remember that mail takes a week to get to your country and then another few days to get to your local post office ~ 10 days or more? My son’s spire account changed the morning of the mail delivery. The same thing happened with another college acceptance letter too.</p>
<p>Still waiting in San Diego. Apparently I am not a very patient person</p>
<p>My son’s status switched to “Under review” yesterday.</p>
<p>Anyone from the “xyz” end of the alphabet hear yet. DS is listed under review, he applied to Isenberg. A few friends of his have heard, they all applied to the arts and sciences school and are also at the beginning of the alphabet.</p>
<p>Accepted </p>
<p>Commonwealth Honors College
$10K Scholarship
3.5 GPA unweighted
2080 SAT
Very rigourous course load, nothing below honors for 4 years, 4 AP Classes</p>
<p>Considered UMass a safety school but need to take a second look and talk to the coach…</p>
<p>"I hope you are also getting the Adams, if so $3700/year is not that bad. "</p>
<p>Since when is it $3700? I was told the Adams scholarship is for tuition only. When you look at the "Tuition and Fees’ breakdown, the tuition portion is only $900. I hope I am wrong, but I was told it covers tuition only, not tuition and fees.</p>
<p>It is $857 per semester (so $1714) plus the $2000 scholarship received.</p>
<p>@freecycle…DS back end of the alphabet (S) and still under review. He’s an A student with strong SAT and EC’s so it probably comes down to the quantity of apps to sift through and time!</p>
<p>To those still waiting and checking online status; I received my acceptance package in the mail two days ago and my status still says “Under Review”; I think you will have better luck checking the mailbox 
Good luck, fingers crossed for you!</p>

<p>Just got my letter in the mail–Honors College & Dean’s scholarship :)</p>
<p>I am end of alphabet and haven’t hear yet. I live in MA and applied EA.</p>
<p>I am out of state, applied late October (Early Action) and haven’t heard anything 
However, my neighbor who applied a week earlier than I did in October got her acceptance package on the 17th. Not quite sure what’s going on. Going to keep waiting…</p>
