<p>According to this page: <a href="http://colleges..com/colleges/admissions/university_of_massachusetts_amherst/166629.aspx%5B/url%5D">http://colleges..com/colleges/admissions/university_of_massachusetts_amherst/166629.aspx</a></p>
<p>Wait List Policy
Place students on a waiting list: </p>
<h1>of applicants offered a place on waiting list: 3,230</h1>
<h1>accepting a place on the waiting list: 113</h1>
<h1>of wait-listed students admitted: 91</h1>
<p>% of students admitted from waiting list: 81%</p>
<p>Not sure what year this is from, but it looks like if you take a spot on the waitlist your odds look pretty decent.</p>
<p>The 2008 Princeton Review book says 290 accepted a spot on the wait list, and 41% got accepted off the list.</p>
<p>thanks so much!</p>
