UMass Amherst Class of 2015 Acceptance Thread

<p>Yes! My D has gotten the letter from the music department. She has been accepted to the Music Ed program. She has also been awarded the a Chancellor’s Talent Award. (Yes again!) However, this is a small scholarship and since we are out of state we were hoping that the amount would be higher. Does anyone have any perspective on scholarship awards in the music department?</p>

<p>I am so proud of her for getting the scholarship and at the same time concerned because we are talking about a lot of money - of course.</p>

<p>BTW she has also been accepted at UNH (in state) but we have no status on scholarships there.</p>

<p>Hello,
My son applied regular decision. His online account continues to read “Under review…”
No answer online yet. How did people who found out the past couple of days find out? Online? Letter? </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>^^^ UMass does not release all acceptances at the same time, they roll them out in waves.</p>

<p>I don’t know why they do it like this, it is very frustrating to have to wait when you see people getting accepted all around you.</p>

<p>Also invited to BIOTAP as well.</p>

<p>My son got his acceptance package yesterday…and the online status updated this morning. It was a tough few days seeing that other RD acceptances were being sent.</p>

<p>Commonwealth Honors College
2k deans scholarship
Free Tuition Scholarship (which is funny, considering I already get free tuition since my dad works at a state college)</p>

<p>GPA: 3.3 UW 3.7 W
SAT: 1430/2040
ECs:
-A full year of college classes in place of senior year
-Internship at the RnD department of a small tech startup company
-Internship at a prominent NGO in boston
-Participation in various school, local, and state orchestras/quartets/musical groups</p>

<p>I applied as a transfer student. Does anyone know how long it takes for the application to be processed? I sent everything in about 1 week ago. I am just really eager to know if I am going to school this fall.</p>

<p>My son’s application is still being reviewed according to UMass Amherst’s website. He is an international student, but will graduate from high school in the US this year. The wait is nerve wracking. Anyone in the same boat? Still crossing our fingers…</p>

<p>Rejected this afternoon.
AP’s, Honors, good essay, good recs, qualified for J&A Adams Tuition Break, 2.9 GPA, a few C’s and D’s
It was my safety and the last school to hear from.
Headed to community college and applying for spring semester.

<p>still haven’t heard from umass either or unh. both taking forever to let me know!</p>

<p>Hi Susantwohig,
I was told last summer that they accept about 65 freshman to the Nursing program. Undergrad enrollment is listed at about 416 in Peterson’s 2010 nursing program guide, though. My son was recently accepted – in-state, CommColl, Dean’s merit scholarship (I guess $2k is all they give?), qualified for Adams scholarship – I’m told they only accept 3-7 men each year…:)</p>

<p>son still waiting to hear. Last one he is waiting for. The further we got into the application process, the more we realized what a great choice this would be. Applied regular decision mid-January. Check online everday. Still Under Review. Keeping our fingers crossed. Good luck to you</p>

<p>My son is still waiting to hear from UMass Amherst, too. It’s his first choice. He was accepted to UNH and Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences right away. It’s so hard to wait. I hope everybody hears soon. Good luck!</p>

<p>I just got the letter saying that my application is complete, and under review, I guess now I join the waiting game with everyone else.</p>

<p>It’s anxiety provoking!</p>

<p>Accepted to Commonwealth and Classical Voice
SAT: 1350/2060
GPA: A- (i don’t know on a 4 point scale)
Rank: 14/135 (counted as top 10%)</p>

<p>deans scholarship of $2000
and chancellors talent for $1,714 (tuition cost)</p>

<p>I believe the Chancellor scholarships were by major. I wish I had applied as pre-med because I’m undeclared as of now unless I accept my spot in the music program.</p>

<p>^^^ There is no “pre-med” major. You can have almost any major (maybe even music!), as long as you can complete the pre-professional requirements.</p>

<p>And you will certainly be able to declare a major that lets you do this, even if you start out as undeclared.</p>

<p>Here is more information:</p>
