UMass Amherst 2021 decision thread

Got accepted into Pre-Med major but no CHC or Merit aid

@Bjklw2a You will get into UMASS. You have great stats and should get a pretty decent merit package. Just remember that state schools do not give what private schools give. All privates will throw you a token $20K because the COA is $65K. the problem is that many families have a hard time paying $45K/year min. The state schools are more affordable.

Just got my acceptance to economics major and CHC. 4.4 GPA and 2200 SAT. I am in-state but I got an additional $2K scholarship per year.

Accepted with 8k per year Director’s award

Put into the College of Natural Sciences as undeclared …If I choose this, how behind will I be for engineering when I switch majors?

Accepted into CS with Chancellor’s Award ($12k).

It looks like a lot of CS majors are getting Chancellor’s Awards?

Where does the merit aid package show up for you guys? Is it included under the estimated cost of attendance because I don’t see anything:(

LOL never mind found it, I got a chancellors scholarship for 10k per year!

I just found out I was accepted on Spire (the first page says congratulations but it still says under review)
I wanted to post this because Umass was a reach for me and I spent a lot of time scrolling through these posts thinking I would never get in.

I got in as an undeclared major within the Business Exploratory Track (and no merit so I probably won’t attend)

I Applied as a Computer Science major. I got accepted to the school, but I wasn’t put directly into the computer science program. I got put in Undeclared Exploratory Track ET-Computing & Informatics. Does anyone know the chances of getting accepted into the main computer science program if I attend this program and do well?

3.67 U/W 3.72 W
31 ACT

Yay Accepted to CHC with $2000/yr merit for Bio! Was wondering if I was also accepted to my second major (CS) as the admissions letter only mentions biology and nothing about CS.

Accepted OOS with $10,000/yr
3.7 UW GPA
2000 SAT
Business Exploratory Track Undeclared (Don’t know what that means)

@collegekid123422 I am in the same case as yours. I heard that 50% of those admitted to Undeclared Exploratory Track ET-Computing & Informatics get into Computer Science.

@HardOREasy Is it 50% because the students don’t meet some sort of standard or because they don’t have enough room to accept them?

Yayayayayay Accepted 3.44W 2000SAT 730MathII
Chancellors 10k but exploratory track engineering. Does this means I go to umass for 5 years?

I was accepted to CHC with a Linguistics major!

Are only EA applicants getting accepted right now?

@collegekid123422 I’m not sure, but take a look at page 5 of the following website:
