UMass Amherst Class of 2020 Decision Thread

Still waiting! :frowning:

No :frowning:

Northeastern just deferred me. I’m hoping to get some good news from UMass Amherst soon.

I was also deferred from Northeastern today :confused:

Hello everyone!

I’m feeling very anxious to hear back from UMASS Amherst. It is one of my top schools, and I just got denied from Northeastern :frowning: I’m ranked 5th in my class of 450, I have a 3.8 GPA, and superscore of 1770 on the SATs. I have a part-time job, and I am in almost every musical ensemble my school has to offer. I intend to major in biology and head on the pre-med track. I’m extremely nervous because I really do not want to get denied again. If anyone gets notified, good luck!

Just chiming in and saying hi! This will be the first school I am hearing from, so lots of nerves! I’m sending good luck to everyone on this thread, though. :slight_smile:

@EeveeSpirit HEYYYYYYYYY I applied for linguistics too! Not a super popular major anywhere (even though it IS awesome at UMass) so it’s cool to find another person who’s interested in it.

Yeah I didn’t get a decision either. And haha, i also got deferred by Northeastern but to be honest even if I got in I probably wouldn’t go because it’s way too expensive. And I’m sure you’ll get in PAIgiraffe! :slight_smile:

I agree with the expenses part of Northeastern. Literally we have the same logic that even if we got in, it’s crazy expensive. But thank you so much! I hope you do too :slight_smile:

I got into northeastern and they awarded me no money whatsosever they just gave me a generous loan of 5,000…umass amherst (if i get in) will be the more financially sound option for sure

Snail mail or E-mail ??
how do we get notified this year ?
do take a look at the link below y’all GPA plotted against SAT scores.

I hope they come in today, I don’t understand why they can’t just post decisions on the portal. Can anyone speak to the strength of the honors college??

Still nothing in the mail UGH

I have a 3.2 GPA and a 1680 sat score, i go to the 26th best highschool in the country and I have honors classes, I applied for prelaw and than philiosophy as a backup, my essay was entirely about how much I love the state of Massachusetts. Will I get in?

3.2 unweighted

it says on the portal that they update the site once a day, does anyone know what time that is?

I believe at midnight they update the status of your application.

Anyone know when or how we’re getting notified??? So sick of waiting

i got NU.in from northeastern and can’t go because of the costs, so I’m in the same boat as some of you just waiting for Umass for my first good (hopefully not bad) news from a school

So like has anyone been accepted yet??

Also what’s everyone’s stats here
