Congratulations!!
Did your letter specifically say you were invited into Honors? Because my son also got the $27k St Joseph Scholarship but I don’t think honors was mentioned.
It was actually on the front page of the portal under the View Status link. Almost missed it!
Thank you!! It’s there!!

Hi. When did your son apply to Umass? Also when did he find out?
I was accepted into PC with a 3.9W and a 3.5 UW GPA. I took 5 AP and 10 honors classes. I applied as an accounting major and got up to Calculus. I was in the top third of my high school class. I also scored a 1320 superscore SAT, 710 English, and 610 Math. I think what helped me get in was my demonstrated interest as I did an interview, fall open house, and toured multiple times.

D accepted but no merit scholarship was given. This is her only school where it wasn’t given, is there anyway we can try to get some by showing what other schools have given her? This is her top choice and she was very excited when she got accepted.

S was accepted. 3.8 UW. 1310 SAT. No merit so he will not be attending. I’m an alumnae so mixed feelings on all of it.
Daughter accepted from Florida this is her top choice. 3.65 UW 4.2 W, Associates Degree from Early College program, good ECs, one great rec, etc. didn’t submit test scores.

I believe the website you had to have a 4.0 unweighted or they don’t even consider you for merit.
Really frustrating and kinda ridiculous.
