UMass Amherst Class of 2020 Decision Thread

Son accepted yesterday by mail in History ($6 K scholarship). He is OOS from elite public school, 3.3 GPA, no APs (but lots of Honors), 28 combined ACT, varsity rowing, other significant ECs are NOLS-Alaska, working 15-20 hours per week, and volunteering.

To those of you that got accepted, did your spire change? or did you find out from the mail?

@mrpwnage it’s been “under review” since I first checked it back in November. It still says that. I assume they don’t update it as they claim. I’m just worried at this point I’m getting deferred

Accepted!!!
ACT: 30
In the mail they said spire will remain unchanged for the next 7-10 days and that all decisions are mailed
Also got the financial award - Can someone please explain what that means?

@whales567 Do you mean that your letter said spire will not change and that everybody’s letters have now been mailed?

S got accepted today, not into his major but “undeclared”. Snail mail. In state. No scholarship money but pleased to be be “in”. GPA 3.7 weighted, ACT 30, SAT 1920. All AP and Honors classes.

@whales567 When was your letter dated?

@abhiyo January 6th

@JamieH decisions will be mailed/emailed but it will take 7-10 days for spire to update with your acceptance
I got my letter in the email today but in the email said that your acceptance will show in spire only after 7-10 days

@whales567 have you received a physical letter in the mail?

@abhiyo No, an email

My engineering acceptance letter was also dated jan 6

@whales567 If they said that all decisions have been mailed, shouldn’t we have all got the email by now?
