has anyone heard back from the college of natural sciences yet?
I am a political science major and have not received a decision yet but eagerly waiting.
Also, it sounds like if they are releasing decisions by major that it might be alphabetical? Just based off of timing and which majors have received decisions.
@icecream25 my S is a deferred Nursing major awaiting UMass Amherst decision. However in the meantime he has gotten acceptances from several other good schools with merit enough to make them a contender with the in state UMass tuition. One big concern we have with that program there is the amount of driving the students need to do to get a good clinical experience - we hear from the students it A LOT of driving so at this point UMass is not our top choice. From what I understand that is why they went from around 100 to about 65 in the major - to get better opportunities for clinical experiences. Still a great school for Nursing but other places have closer and/or better clinical choices. Good Luck!
Oh okay nice. I applied RD and if I don’t get into Umass Amherst nursing, I’m then gonna go to UMass Boston for nursing. Umass Amherst is my top choice and I die to go there more than anything else on my list. I just can’t believe they had to cut down the seats in the nursing program! I’ve gotten great offers from many schools so far but so far UMass Boston is the cheapest and has one of the best locations on my list. Btw is your son in-state? Do you know where the school does their clinicals at?

are they releasing based on when you sent in your application
@k41500 During the Early Action process groups of people were accepted by major and it had nothing to due when they received your application. Business and Nursing are the two biggest.
@ItsPranavK I just copy/pasted it form the previous post
@k41500 I think in bands, possibly by major as two of my friends also got into Isenberg today. I applied last week of December.
ugh i just want to know already
im waiting to hear back from 12 schools and it would be nice to get a decision from UMass soon
Same!! This is killing me. It’s my last decision I’m waiting for.
I wish all decisions cane out on the same day. I just want to know. UMass is the only school I really feel something for and care about. I cannot stand another day of waiting. This is agonizing.
Exactly!! What I wish all schools could do. It’s just a nightmare waiting everyday and then you need it just to make a decision soon.
Do any accepted people see any changes in the portal or should we expect mail?
@payasugo My daughter received the email to check the portal for a status change. She was accepted on Tuesday but hasn’t received anything yet snailmail-wise.
Thanks @mistreshijas I was reading this thread when the email came at 5:25. Accepted

Hello I studied in an Indian curriculum school and my grades are pretty good if not the best, grade 9 -9.8/10 CGPA, grade 10 - 10/10 CGPA and grade 11- 89.9 % (its freaking tough) and grade 12 predicted score given by school - 96.4%(IDK how). SAT 1440 750-M, 690-R; and ACT -32 with a superscore of 33(if it helps) Toefl -110. I have had around 350 hours of volunteer service and I guess my essay is alright, not the best but pretty good. I have done 1 internship in Robotics and CS(my intended major so I hope it helps) and a summer Program at Boston in Robotics and involved in a lot of cricket and basketball 9 through 12. Also I have Subject tests : 800 on math 2, Chem and Phy.
I live in Bahrain so sports opportunities are minute, although I was in the reserves team for Bahrain National cricket team and went to Malaysia for the ACC U-16 cricket cup and also inter-school cricket events and am active in basketball in my school although we have no proper tournaments or organization.
I wish to pursue Robotics and have made that clear in my essay and tried to show my love for it and why I am interested in it. I have strong Recs and I love going to MUNs, I have been to 13 MUNs including one inside UNHQ in New York where I won a verbal mention and have won over 5 wards. My activity essay is based on MUN conferences. I dont really aim for Scholarship, tution should be fine.
I took the ACER examination for Science and Maths(not soooo prestigious) and got 100 percentile internationally and high distinction in maths. I also was a part of a cricket tour to India under CFI( cricket federation of India).
I am part of a global community at Young Scientist’s Journal (www.ysjounal.com) and am an editor and have edited over 15 articles based on Science. I am also part of a community called Young Coders who are working on making a website.
Best of Luck!!!
@AlexieOtto One of my sons applied early and accepted but the RD son in a science (bio or chem?) major didn’t hear yet.
Accepted: Isenberg School of Management.
Where can I find my financial aid award or is that not out yet?
Also do CHC notifications come with admissions decision?
