UMASS Amherst Decisions 2022

When you get your acceptance letter do you find out about the honors college and merit scholarships right away or does that information come later?

so I assume no more acceptances today then, since they only update the portal once a day??

@abcde098 we did not get any acceptance letter, we found out via the status update on the portal. It mentions there the merits as well. My S did not apply for honors.

It’s very early so I would assume they will continue releasing decisions all day???

My S accepted today to CS and CHC. $2k scholarship (which is a nice bonus considering the in-state cost vs private colleges). Boston suburb public HS with high GPA & 1590 SAT. UMass CS is definitely one of his top choices. UMass Amherst is a very different (and much better) university than when I was a kid! Best of luck to all still waiting to hear!

@irivkid was natural sciences your second choice?

Seems like comp sci is getting a lot today. Hope it is not a bad sign if I do not get mine today, but it is not over yet I guess. Just wondering when they will denie or defer me if I do not get in. Or if i will be sent on the exploratory track

@lacobus did you apply for Computer Science?

We are waiting on Isenberg, nothing yet.

@collegegal148 nope … what major are you applying for and what are your stats
