Hi everyone! I was looking over the UMass- Amherst section of College Confidential and realized there was no thread for Regular Decision acceptances. I only saw one for “Class of 2015” students, but that isn’t us! Furthermore, does anyone know when the Regular Decision notification date is?
This board needed this thread, that old “accepted students 2015” thread was obviously getting confused with the “class of 2015” thread. Also, I can’t get an exact date for UMass acceptances but I am assuming everyone will get them at a separate time. lol (They have something like 38K+ applicants so please be patient!)
Since I am anxiously waiting for letters, I checked on Twitter and saw that many students started getting letters on March 6th and 7th, so hopefully, they will come soon!
That was last year by the way… Sorry for not clarifying!
Did anyone else get the “The Book of Yes” thing in the mail? I got so excited that it was an acceptance…
I received that awhile ago, and I think it was before I applied. I’m so anxious!!!
Looking at last years RD acceptance thread, the acceptance letters appear to mailed out in weekly batches. The first batch was dated March 1st and received by USPS starting on March 7th. The next batch was dated March 7th and received by USPS starting on March 13th, and this pattern continued through early April.
Note that snail mail notification was typically faster than the Spire web portal, so start checking your mailboxes come Monday. Good luck.
Do they normally go to OSS or instate or both first?
Based on last year, both IS and OOS go out at the same time.
I sent in my application late November, so I hope I get a response this week!
Accepted! 
@stressedsenior15 Congrats! Did you hear by email or portal change? My D is OOS and had applied on 12/4 processed on 12/11 and still under review ever since.
Thank you! Mine says still under review in the portal, but I got it via the regular mail!
I got my acceptance letter today too! My online portal still says under review
Wow! @stressedsenior15 and @locachicablanca - are you in state or out of state applicants? If out of state, which state? We’re in CA is why.
Wait, dont mind if I ask but did you guys declare a major
I got my acceptance letter today. My first choice major was accounting and my second was finance.
@hjajo96 Are you out of state applicant or in-state?
The anticipation is seriously killing me. I feel like i’m gonna be last, mine got processed 01/09/14. Fortunately I’m from New Hampshire so the mailing can’t be that far right??
Mine wasn’t processed until 1/29
