UMASS Amherst Transfer Admissions

I applied on March 31st, and received my acceptance on April 5th(I was not informed of how to access my account until April 8th, however).

Wow that was quick! I applied on March 24th and still haven’t heard back yet.

@transfer2021 first week of Jan

Strange, I had presumed they were pulling off quick turnarounds because of the timing of my application.

Hi guys!! I applied March 1st and still haven’t heard back. Does anyone know when they start releasing mass decisions?

It doesn’t seem like they do mass decisions, they seem to be trickling them out; at least there’s no information given on their site about decision releases.

My son applied on 3/9 and has not heard back yet. How do they notify you of acceptance. It is different from the previous years with the new student status portal.

They’ll email you saying “an update has been posted to your account”. Checking the update on the account will probably show the decision.

Can anyone who got accepted to business school share their stats?

Applied in February for Geography still, haven’t heard back. Anyone else in the same boat?

yeah I did and just got in 2 days ago

It appears that his student status page is showing everything complete. He was only asked to submit the disciplinary report and current college transcript. No HS/SAT/ACT scores or mid term grades. Still waiting for a decision.

The spire system in prior years was updated once a day. Does anyone know if this is the same for the new student status page? Save a constant check throughout the day :slight_smile:

I was accepted today, but they didn’t send me any information about financial aid. Does that usually come later on?

It took 10 days to receive the FA notice for my son.

Does anyone know if transfers can live in the Commonwealth Honors College Residential Community?

I believe anyone who is admitted to CHC can live in that residential community.

This Might be a random question but was does it look like on the student status page when there is a decision

It simply states that an update has been posted to your account, with a link for you to view said update.

Is anyone still waiting to hear about acceptance? It’s May 1st. Do you think they are waiting to see if there is room after deposits are due?

Do you guys know when we can sign up for housing
