UMass Amherst 2021 decision thread

@nwmom2boys
Yeah it does say that. But in the application status page, it says end of December in a table. I don’t know. Weird

My son’s app is now complete, too. Whew! And now I see the table @wolfwing123 was talking about.

do they tell u if u get into the honors college

from what I’ve read on previous threads, you’ll find out through the mail, not on SPIRE.

I read somewhere that this year the college is not sending snail mail but that this information will be available spire. I hope some decisions start coming in this week.

My heart is palpitating. My portal says under review so should I be hearing back some time this week? I have no idea how long my application has been on “under review” Also in the beginning of the year i went to a UMass reception for my region and the admissions guy said December 15th. So should I be hearing my decision on spire or through snail mail and do you think that I will hear back this week.

@ilovedogs123 mine has said “under review” for several weeks now. I think people started hearing back in January last year (could be wrong).
I want to know soon!!! Umass seems to have a longer wait than some of the EA schools I’ve seen.

I got into the honors program :smiley: … but I already decided on goin to Northeastern. They gave me a lot of money and I thank God for that

@richyy07 congrats! how did you find out already?? on the portal? by email?

Goodluck to all of u waiting on a decision. And Yes! you wouldn’t be receiving through mail(they stopped doing that) more decisions would be mailed out this week. And if anyone is eager to know. On my spire, it says my decision was made on the 6th of December(which was on a Monday ) and I do remember checking on that day and nothing. So it might take some time to update on your spire. Don’t think too much about it. If you are confident on getting in #YouShall :)>-

@richyy07 where on spire do you check?

@master34 once you log into your spire, under the welcome tab Y ou should see "congratulations blah blah blah … "

I don’t see a welcome tab anywhere

richyy07 appears to be a transfer student. Have any incoming freshmen gotten a decision? My D’s has been “under review” for weeks. I don’t think it means anything except that they have processed all of your forms and you’re in a pile to be read.

@richyy07 are you a transfer student or a new incoming freshman?

UMass Amherst Admissions just tweeted that Friday will be a big day - Decisions.

Followed by: “Disclaimer: Not ALL decisions will be released on Fri.; that is just when we’ll begin releasing decisions. We will continue through mid-Jan.”

Does anyone have a “completed” status? My D’s is still “under review.” I’m just wondering if that’s all we’ll see until decisions are released, or if it switches to “completed” or something similar when you’re about to get your decision.

Just got an email saying EA decisions will start to be released this Friday

does anyone know if we find out if we got into the honors college when we get our ea decision back too? or are honors acceptances done at a later point?
