UMass Amherst 2021 decision thread

I assume everyone who has heard thus far was an EA applicant, right?

Thank you so much!

I believe so.

@as1799 In state. Hence the no merit (I suspect).

I’m still waiting for my decision(computer science major)(applied EA)
Is there any idea about when will I hear back?

I’m still waiting on hearing back too. I know I’ll get in, I just want my acceptance letter. To those who haven’t heard back, my prediction is that we’ll hear back within the next week or two because Spire says that decisions are released until mid-January.

My daughter, in state, is still waiting to hear. Her major chosen is Communication Science and Disorders. Hopefully she hears soon.

Accepted into Econ, CHC and $14k in merit scholarships. Lots of ECS: Debate, MUN, College Ambassador. Competitive club swimmer and 4 year varsity athlete. ACT 32, GPA 3.92.

So frustrating. We sent all of our daughter’s information to UMass Amherst in mid-October as well as other colleges. We’ve heard from 4 of the 6 (accepted) and still waiting for UMass, the one college she really wants to go to. We did everything correctly and she still hasn’t heard. I thought that was the point of Early Admission; you’d hear from all the schools by end of year so you could make your decision. Keeping fingers crossed.

@Purplerooster There doesn’t seem to be any order to things. I thought we would hear late because my son’s transcripts were sent Nov. 20. But we’ve already heard, so I guess the order of application doesn’t matter. Hang in there. I know the waiting is hard. I hope your daughter gets in!

havent heard back yet either, CS major

I was accepted, CS major
International Student
1440 ( New SAT) , 14k Scholarship

I see many people here complaining about how their decisions haven’t come back yet. Just be patient - it will come. This is not a straightforward thing, there are thousands of applicants to UMass and they need their time to make informed decisions. Plus winter break happened and they didn’t work on it during that time.

Accepted to Isenberg SOM

SAT: 1280
GPA: 94

10K Merit - OOS

Tons of extra curricula’s, two internships, three jobs, leadership positions, president of club

I will probably go here! GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!!

Just got a deferral letter via email… So sick of being deferred! Lol

@c011e9e I got deferred too. A 31 ACT isn’t good enough? I’m actually angry right now.

@c011e9e what are your stats?

Deferral here too…e-mail just came in…

@NorthofBoston26 stats?

3.5 GPA and 1140 SATs (took a shot EA…more in line for RD)
