Sounds like like your daughter won! Congrats! Massachusetts as a whole thinks the world revolves around it but Massachusetts doesnāt realize thereās a whole other realm of reality out there. Hope that makes sense.

Being far away from this world this is interesting insight. Our state flagship has the same complex (UW Seattle). Itās nice to have the bigger picture for a change! 
This is why I want out of Dodge. UMass for me isnāt a safety for admission as much as it is a locale safety just in case I decide last minute that I need to stay closer to home. Otherwise, Iām heading south!

Iām surprised that she didnāt get honors college. They try to balance majors in the honors college, because if they didnāt, it would be filled with solely very high stats Comp Sci majors! Clearly, they felt that she was a very desirable candidate, since they gave her the max OOS merit award (I think).

Thanks. We were hopeful for that reason, but not too surprised, given how many great students donāt get accepted to Honors College. Isnāt there a geographic diversity component to the selection as well? We are in NH, and Iām sure they have many highly qualified applicants from here.
Hi - -thanks for including that graphic! My point really was that UMASS Amherst now has such a high national recognition that even the less competitive majors are now competitive - although not as competitive as the usual suspects. I know many strong, strong in-state students last year who applied to the less competitive majors and were either denied or waitlisted.
My S21 was in CHC freshman year. Itās mainly the dorms. Centrally located, newer and with AC. Smaller classes but only for certain subjects. Peer advising only AFAIK. No early registration.

Somewhere someone posted that they got in on 12/26, the day after Xmas. So anything is possible, who knowsā¦

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Holiday Season! For those who might be interested, I noticed there is a new group for parents on Facebook. If interested, look up UMass Amherst Class of 2027 - Parent in Groups. There is a similar group for students.

Any chance for decisions to get released this week?
Unfortunately, they said several times on social media that it would be mid-January.

I donāt know if there is a specific place but, the place I have seen is their undergrad admissions Instagram page. People tend to ask questions about the early action dates in their comments and typically they reply. There should be a link somewhere further up in this page.

Does anybody know how many waves they sent out for last years EA acceptances?
From what I recall in 2020 there were several waves in January unfortunately!
