Just out of curiosity, has anyone gotten into honors? I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to be on the letter of acceptance, but I didn’t seem to get any offer to join the honors college. I’m not too upset, since I still got into Umass! Just a little surprised, because I had a 4.3 gpa and 1440 SAT, and I know people who have gotten in with lower stats. Maybe the applicant pool was just really competitive this year or something.
It depends on your major since I heard that Umass Amherst only takes the top 10% of the students in a major for their honors program. Therefore, the more competitive the major is, the more competitive its honors program will be.
ohh ok. makes sense
You can still apply after first semester.
