Maybe umass is just thinking about how big the merit should offer to you

The waiting is brutal! But, please know that everything will work out for the best! And we know for a fact that UMass is not done yet and that every wave includes acceptances.

Do they send out deferrals, wait list, etc in these waves?

is Vet school your goal?
They don’t give out much merit for in state- my son was accepted into the Honors College and received $2000/year. He received significantly more from UNH and UVM- enough to put it in the ballpark-ish of instate prices at UMass (a little more, but fairly close). Still waiting on the last two schools and an additional visit, but UMass is his current top choice.

My son got into CS (OOS) and received the $16,000 per year Chancellor’s Award. No Honors College. He is thrilled!

Tagging onto this. D23 accepted into Honors College in the first wave in state $2000 in aid. The other 2 acceptances so far have awarded much more aid.

Congrats to everyone who got in! Any idea when the next wave is?

If you click through some of the next steps info below the letter, you’ll find tours for admitted students - I was impressed that they have all the days already listed.

Currently S23 leaning in that direction but also has an interest in Marine Bio.

Does anyone know if the merit-based aid listed in the acceptance letter is all? Or is need-based aid announced at a later date?

I think that’s pretty typical. We’re in NY - my daughter got from 10-15k at all of the OOS she applied to (14 at UMass) but only 1 - 5k from the SUNYs.

Need based will be separate and issued later

Were the other acceptances OOS? That might explain it.
