UMass Amherst 2021 decision thread

I haven’t been deferred yet, Idk if that’s a good sign or a bad one ;/

Just got deferred in state. 3.3uw, 32 ACT, lots of honors and AP classes and good ec. Anybody know what my chances are now?

For those who got deferred, what major(s) did you apply for?

Just got deffered in state was well. Applied for CS w/ 3.65 UW and 35 ACT

So, I’m assuming that rest of decisions will be either defferred or rejected?

My daughter received her deferred email last night. We are in-state. She applied to the Communication Science and Disorders program.

I’m wondering if they just defer everyone that wasn’t accepted…or if they do deny some at this point.

Do you mind sharing her GPA and scores? My daughter has not heard anything as of yet.

well, there will be an open spot as my son will decline his acceptance. No money offered.

my son was deferred. Sociology Major, 1140 SAT’s Honor roll 3 years, lots of EC’s and 4 AP’s. GPA 3.2…we will see. He was accepted everywhere else and several schools gave him so much aid that it will cost us the same as umass which will give us none. So we will see what happens.

my Son was deferred, business major 3.5 GPA and 1340 SAT, lots of club activity. 3AP all honor class. in State, very disappointed.

My daughter still reads under review - when did the status change for those deferred?

@AM99 so its not just me who had high stats and was deferred. I don’t understand what umass is doing…

@ritac410 my status on spire still says under review, but I got an email around 7pm last night with my deferral letter

my son received email yesterday night with deferral letter but online spire still says under review

Maybe they are realizing that they are not going to read all the applications that are left in time for the deadline so are just deferring them? Is anyone getting acceptances today?

my son was accepted at umass Lowell with merit scholarship of 6K, he is wiling to accept it instead of waiting 8-|

3.7 GPA, 2000 SAT, out of state, still says under review and no email???

Thank you! She just checked email, and was deferred as well. Status still shows under review

I applied for a psych major with a 3.78 and 30 ACT, 5 AP classes 5s on all the tests. Still haven’t heard back, though, so I asked my guidance about it and for what it’s worth, he said not to worry. Apparently there are lot of other kids at my school with acceptances more probable than mine who haven’t heard back yet either. He said it depends on what major you’re applying to. That’s just what he told me, though. Has anyone going into psych heard back yet?

@AM99 What’s the rush? You have until May 1st to decide.
