This is the official thread for those applying EA to University of Massachusetts Amherst.
List your unweighted GPA, any SAT /ACT scores, and ECs. What majors are you going into?
Ask your questions, the CC community is here to help!
D26 patiently waiting. Applied to 15 schools (all EA or Rolling) and already has 9 of them back. UMass is probably the biggest reach of the schools remaining. We’re in-state and she has a 3.6UW GPA. Did not submit SAT scores. Applying into Elementary Ed. Work experience at a day care and softball player since middle school - but would not likely play competitively for college.

An email went out to EA Applicants last night stating all decisions will be released 1/16 - so much for the hope of an earlier timeline. 
Decisions will be Admit, Waitlist, or Deny (no deferrals).

Yeah, I was hoping for a December decision but not too surprised. I think last year was the first year they instituted one day (vs rolling notifications) and I think it was also mid January.
Did all EA applicants receive an email? Mine didn’t but portal says complete and his email on file is accurate so just making sure it was an email!
S26 got an email yesterday with the release date (Jan 16th).
OK thank you for that info. Everything looks fine on his end, but he didn’t get the email. We’re in state.
Check spam folder (??)
Not in spam but he says he might’ve deleted it and then deleted from trash as he was trying to clean up his mailbox…
