For anyone wondering what exploratory track is, here are some information from the school’s website
Got accepted to CS! Very surprised because it seems that a lot of people here with better stats than me got denied. Wish the EA applicants who were deferred luck for when the real decisions arrive later.
GPA: 3.86 (2 years of dual enrollment in community college)
ACT: 28 (32, 29, 23, 26)
Does anyone know how many Chancellor’s Awards UMass-Amherst gives out? I was offered Chancellor’s Award too (12k), but it looks like it’s not much an uncommon award given that so many people - including some with average GPA/SAT - received it.
@HardOREasy I was one of the cs fellas who didn’t get a chancellor’s award
@HardOREasy who cares how many they give out and whether or not it’s common - if you got one congrats! I also got $10,000 chancellor award for CS and was put into exploratory.
accepted bio major.
GPA 3.45
ACT 30
Accepted CHC with 14k !! 
Major - Electrical Eng
GPA - 3.9
SAT - 1540(780m)
OOS
lol @as1799 why do you think. Your GPA is a 3.2, that essentially automatically bars an acceptance. Quit being so cocky, you act like your numbers are so good but in reality you are an extremely weak applicant for schools like this. This school is a reach with your numbers, matches for you would be UMass-Lowell of UMass-Boston.
@hotentoth getting off by putting other people down? I’m sure you will do well in life.
@huet99 If u saw earlier @as1799 told @QuestionsMate that its a shock to him he got in. I’m sorry i just felt i should put as1799 in his place. And for the record, I’ve been accepted to UMass, UMich and Yale so I think I’m doing pretty well.
@hotentoth @huet99 Yeah if you scroll through the thread he was being super pretentious, impatient and arrogant. It’s well deserved
@hotentoth NICE YALE! Congrats on the acceptances. What do you plan to major in?
Shout out to admitted CS applicants - could y’all weigh in on the rigor and reputation of the program?
@QuestionsMate Im planning on doubling in molecular bio and economics
I was accepted on Friday to CHC (majoring in engineering) 32ACT 94 GPA
accepted to pre-med over the weekend. lol just glad my acceptance finally came. I decided to attend NYU instead though. Does anyone know if they send out a package in the mail?
If my application status is still under review, does it mean that I got deferred? I’m so anxious right now…
You should have received an email if you are deferred. You might want to call?
My D received snail mail yesterday from the Architecture Department Congratulating her on acceptance by the department. It then goes on to say this acceptance still requires approval and acceptance by the UMass office of admissions. Why in gods name would they send that letter if there is still a possible denied app? Here spire still says under review. Anyone else get a crazy letter like that!!
Hey everyone,
I’m an international student who applied using Regular Decision on December 1. I just got an email saying that my spire account has been updated with my admissions decision. I was just surprised to see it because I think some of the EA applicants even haven’t received their decisions yet.
Problem is that I can’t open my spire account right now because of some reason (bad internet I think). What do you guys think? Anyone else in RD got their decision??
