Just an FYI on the UMass-Amherst honors program—we know several wonderful students admitted to their honors program. We also know several other students from the same HS graduating year (2025) who were not admitted to the honors program, yet had higher GPA’s than a few accepted into the honors program (and one with a 1560 SAT score, yet he wasn’t accepted in UMass-Amherst’s honors program. He’s still attending UMass-Amherst in the fall!) We know students accepted to Tufts, Boston College, Purdue for engineering, BU, and NYU who were accepted to UMass, but not their honors program. Long story short: lots of highly intelligent students attend UMass-Amherst who are not in the honors program.
