UMass Amherst 2023 Decisions

@nancyjo67 scroll down beyond the acceptance letter on the portal and you’ll see “Here are additional details related to your acceptance:”

sorry, i just looked back and i actually got the 12k/yr chancellors award, not 14k

@nancyjo67 Forgot to say thanks! She is excited about this one. Congrats to you, too! Did you find the additional info?

@Linguafreund ah ok, ty :frowning:

@chdmom thank you! No! I did find under financial aid section ‘there is no financial aid info found’ or something like that. He got into the Paul Business School at UNH and they’re offering $36k!!! I’ll email the financial aid office at Umass tomorrow to see if I’m missing something. UGH!!

Accepted into the Honors college for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology with a 2k/year dean’s scholarship!!!

@nancyjo67 Did you go to the letter and read what’s below that? I didn’t check financial aid. I assume that will come out later. D got accepted to UNH, too, with a great award (we are in NH). So excited to find out how it all plays out.

@teddy10143 just saw your question about OOS acceptances. We live in central mass so no, we are in state.

how exclusive is honors college?

yup i am OOS from cali

Did anyone get denied today?

hoping for some sort of merit aid…

HC at UMASS is very exclusive! I’m also pretty sure it depends on your major and not just individual stats (more competitive majors means more exclusive HC). I have in-state friends with 3.8-4.0 gps and 1500+ SATs who were not accepted to the HC :frowning: this isn’t meant anyone just putting the info out for anyone who wants it! Congrats to everyone accepted! I forgot to mention that I was accepted in state.

d accepted to umass amherst but not seeing any sort of $ award info. are any MA/in state ppl seeing award info today?

@whatall Scroll down past the signature line on your acceptance letter. There is more info below that.

scroll down to the bottom of the acceptance letter @whatall

how do you know your activation code for the account?

@whatall we are in Mass and do not see anything additional. I went to the absolute bottom of the page of acceptance letter. Nothing. I did just email the financial aid office though. Am very curious. Was hoping for some award or aid.

@chdmom ty we did - nothing there about any awards or aid. found the financial aid tab in the portal but said it wasn’t available but we don’t know if that means information coming later or no money available. It’s confusing seeing other posts with award money listed.

Hang in there, @nancyjo67 and @whatall. Hopefully, it’ll all work out. I think admissions might be the first line of contact, since they award the merit scholarships. Good luck to you!
