UMass Amherst 2021 decision thread

S just checked spire. He was accepted to first choice major - environmental science (
OOS scholarship of $10,000
(No honors college - was hoping, but not expecting)

Those of you notified about honors college - were you notified through spire or through snail mail. Also, was this decision at the same time as you received your acceptance or did it come afterwards?

got in today- in state
gpa 3.45
act 30

Financial aid package, regular acceptance, and CHC are all online- no snail mail this year at all. And all 3 decisions came at the same time. @elise303

I got accepted but it says my 2018 financial aid year isn’t available yet. anybody know when I’ll receive information for this or should I contact them?

@donisgoodboy Our financial aid package came about 10 or 15 days later.

Where do you check scholarship? is there another button in addition to Admissions Decision?

Accepted, but I can’t find information about scholarship, financial aid, or honors college anywhere :frowning:
Worried…

Good luck, everyone!

After you click Admissions decision, it takes you to three tabs-- Commonwealth, Admissions, and Financial. Scholarship is in Financial tab. I couldn’t open until I unblocked pop-ups.

What @nwmom2boys said. We saw the three tabs after clicking Admissions Decision too.

S got $2000 Dean’s Award. Not complaining…every little bit helps. Anyone know if they still waive the tuition fee for the John & Abigail Adams award in addition to that since S got that also?

It should-we just received those letters earlier this fall.

@elise303 Congrats to you and son! It’s good to get a decision.
