spire. I would check spire.umass.edu the other website, webapp doesn’t update the same day. UMA doesn’t send mail anymore
Why transfer from UMD? @alexio
Which major?
I always wanted to go to UMA so now that I have the chance I am going to do it. I was accounting but now I want to do civil engineering
I am a freshman at a state school studying criminal justice but i sent in my application to transfer to umass and they processed it march 25th and still waiting to hear back. i applied for the hospitality/tourism management major. I have a 3.88 gpa and i am taking elementary statistics now and took pre-calc and calc in high school, but i dont know if those are enough/required courses needed to get into this major
Mass just requested my midterm grades… I have a 3.8 GPA and its finals week. I can’t get those grades out until next week at the earliest and they warned against spots filling up…might withdraw my application
My application finally went from Complete Application to just “under review”. Can’t be much longer before the decision.
@Transfer529 You waited this long, you should see it through.You can’t know for sure unless you try. If anything call admissions and see what they think.
My application just went from completed to under review, hopefully i hear back soon guys!!!
@Transfer529 3.8 and they want to know midterms and tell you they are filling up. Ridiculous.I think UMA is a good school, but their admissions process needs a complete revamp.
When will we be hearing from them? Weren’t decisions supposed to be out by now? I applied before March 1st!
yheaa i wonder how long do we have to wait when the status is “under review”? mines been under review now for like 3 days, hoping to hear back before this weekend
Hey guys! i just got in this morning!
Got in as well!
Also just got in today! Great job @RickMedeiros @iikeemstarii
@RickMedeiros congrats! did your spire change from complete to under review, or did you just randomly get accepted?
I applied early March and nothing has updated for me
@TheBrady6 thank you!
@qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq it changed from Complete to Under review on Monday and Today (Friday) I got my acceptance in the morning. No email - I logged into SPIRE and it went from the standard page (not the check application status though, literally the first web page when you log in ) to one that says “congratulations” and bunch of other stuff in regards to the next step once admitted.
No financial aid package yet. I found out I got admitted to the honors college by clicking “View Decision.”
mine says "We have received your admissions application for Fall 2017. We are pleased that you are interested in UMass Amherst, and we look forward to learning about your interests and accomplishments.
We cannot review your file until all required credentials have been received. Please check the status of your application (see link on the right) on a regular basis. It takes 7-10 days to process credentials once they have been received. "
I’ve submitted everything on my end (transcripts/act) and It’s been like this since mid march. Is this normal?
@qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq they may want your midterm grades. Check your email to see if they’ve sent you one asking for them, I got one too.
@Transfer529 Checked my email and got nothing. My status has been ‘complete’ since March 24, so I don’t know. When did they midterm request you after your app was complete?
