<p>Based on the EA thread from last year (<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-massachusetts-amherst/828198-ea-notification-class-2014-a.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-massachusetts-amherst/828198-ea-notification-class-2014-a.html</a>), it seems like the decision letters arrive within a week of being sent out. Your application confirmation letter took longer because they probably had to process some info on it first.</p>
