UMass Amherst Class of 2020 Decision Thread

@warrior481 What are your stats?

large envelope arrived this am. Can’t open it bcz D is away! anyone else get large envelope here in MA and if so was it an acceptance? Thanks.

I received a large envelope this morning and I live in MA. Accepted for nursing!

@collegenerd9224 What does your last name start with? I think they might be releasing on alphabetical order because two of my friends with last names starting with B and D got accepted but not Honors college and we live in the same town but my last name is at the end of the alphabet.

It starts with F. Unfortunately I was not accepted to the honors college either. Another person I know was accepted for business and his name ends in D.

H. Def not honors college. spire has not changed and no email ever came.

@collegenerd9224 Any update on spire?

I think this means that UMass releases it’s decisions by alphabetical order, my last name is at the end of the alphabet so I’m most likely going to hear last.

@abhiyo 3.46 weighted gpa, few c’s in hs, sat: 590 math, 520 reading, slim ecs, good rec letters, decently hard classes, first q senior grades were 87 ap bio, 82 ap calc, 90 english honors and toom a college course in local comminuty college but was told first quarter grades would not be counted for EA applicants which is a bummer because mine were solid.

@warrior481 Our stats are quite similar.

@abhiyo what were your stats and what major did you apply for

just got acceptance letter in mail!!

Stats & major? @starfish98

@warrior481 3.4 weighted. 600 math, 540 Writing. 1 C, 2 B’s and 2 A’s in 11th grade.
Applied to Isenberg.

Very similar. Extremely nervous @abhiyo
Everything will work itself out. Goodluck

@abhiyo They really care more about math & reading sat more than math & writing. If you’re applying to a business school writing score really won’t mean much

@mooseanderson my reading score is 670.

@warrior481 Yes, really nervous. Hopefully we get our decisions in the next 10 days :slight_smile:

Just got my acceptance letter in the mail!! first acceptance…I’m going to college :)) Major in Psychology, the letter was dated December 21st

I was accepted and my spire is still not updated
