UMass Amherst Class of 2020 Decision Thread

Anyone on the west coast get accepted yet? Wondering about the timing of the mailings?

Does anyone know what the different scholarships are for UMass amherst? I’m OOS if that makes any difference in how much they’re worth.

My son just got his acceptance today. They are definitely trickling in with no pattern at all so please don’t be discouraged. Under primary major it says PR-School of Management. Not sure what the PR means. Good luck to all.

Admitted today via Spire, no letter in mail yet.

If you were admitted through spire,did any merit money show up?

To those accepted today, what does your last name start with? And congratulations!

Good morning. My son was accepted to Engineering via his spire account this morning. No mention of honors college For those accepted to honors did your spire account indicate honors or was that information only in the packet in the mail?.

No

So. It was not on spire, but was in the packet? Just clarifying. Thanks!

No packet yet, but no award money on spire. So I can’t say , maybe someone else can.

People that were admitted on spire - did it just say under the status of your application “admitted” or was your decision somewhere else? Also does it seem that the admitted decisions are coming out first because I haven’t heard that anyone was denied or deferred yet

I was not accepted on Spire, but I was accepted via snail mail. My last name starts with D and I got no merit money >:P Stats: 1760, 3.75 gap, mostly APs.

You will log in as usual and see a different page than usual that says “congratulations, you are admitted.”
The application status page can be clicked on and it remains “under review.”

is it possible that they’ve sent out all the honors college letters already?

@kdsmommass My son’s spire account did indicate honors. The merit money was only in the packet in the mail.

We’ve yet to hear. Waiting for the college of engineering. Hopefully when the mail comes today, we’ll get something. Fingers crossed. Live in MA.

@DonnaEv keep your hopes up! I got one unexpectedly.

@warrior481 I know you were nervous. I was rooting for you and happy you got in. Now if my son would just hear. We were so impressed with our tour. Such a great opportunity.
