UMass Amherst Fall 2017 Transfers

@shenaiya Yes, but only was really interested in Umass Amherst.

@bbobby congrats, do you mind sharing the next steps you have to take as a student accepting the admittance?

@iikeemstarii Went into SPIRE, accepted, and spit out $500. Signed up for summer orientation. Don’t know what next steps are for dorms. That menu option hasn’t popped up on Spire yet.

HOw’s everyone doing? Anyone living on campus in Fall?

im not sure if im solid but they just mid term requested me? kinda wierd because i have like straight A’s for the last 4 semesters and a single B- from like 2 years ago in 2015, but nevertheless im working on sending this midterm grades paper, along with another paper they requested. im assuming after sending in all this that i would get accepted because why else would they go through the trouble of having me send more stuff in if they could easily decline me and save all of us the time and effort… lol thats just what i think but ill let you guys know what happens but fingers crossed. (also my professors all said on the midterm report that im likely to get another A in all their classes so i have that vouching for me lol, i would cry if i didnt get in lol ) :slight_smile:

@iikeemstarii I feel like you’ll get accepted i think they’re just asking you for it because it’s a requirement or something but you seem like a strong candidate don’t worry!

I checked today and it looks like they want me to find a different major. On spire it says i need to fill out an alternative major form. I was trying to get into marketing but idk what to do now.

They asked me for midterm grades and I sent them last Thursday and I checked today and my application is complete , should be hearing back soon

I sent my midterm grades back in March when I applied but I still haven’t heard, I’ve been checking my mail every day hoping I’ll get something!! Hopefully we all hear soon

I just checked my spire and my status went from “Complete” to “Under Review” so I guess that means I’m hearing soon, look out for that on Spire if you’re still anxiously waiting (like me lol)

@iikeemstarii You out of state? Mass Transfer? In state other transfer? What year?

Mine also changed from “complete” to under review today. Does anyone know how long from that point they got a decision? They also mid term requested me. 1 A and 2 B-'s. Have a 3.63 GPA in total and average SAT’s so I’m not so confident.

My spire account went from “complete” to “under review” to “under condisteration for admission”. Is this a good sign or a bad sign? I only ask becusse when I emailed explaining my situation (school on the trimester system) they said that they would request additional documents from me. They never did, so I never sent my midterm report. Is it bad that they are already making a choice?

Bluamica If they were going to ask you for any additional information your application would have gone from “complete” to “incomplete”. At least that’s what I would assume. Don’t ask on here, just call admissions and ask them there. Maybe they later decided they didn’t need any more info or maybe they are incompetent.

@BBobby When do we need to put down our deposit? I heard somewhere that it’s 2 weeks after we are accepted but not sure.

Submitted my application March 4th, and they processed all my documents mid-march. My spire has been the same for a while now. On the 2021 decision thread, people are saying decisions will be posted this saturday, April 15.

Do you guys think this is when transfer students will hear back too?

@qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq from looking at past threads, a lot of transfers heard throughout April.

@BBobby I’m a instate transfer with about 40 credits, which I think is about a year and half of credits worth, I finished all my gen eds if that helps answer your question

yeah, i went through last years thread and looked through it too.

Does anyone know if transfer students are eligible to receive chancellor’s scholarship/any other merit awards?

Just got accepted today. I’m in state transferring from a community college. 3.63 GPA, 1110 SAT.
