UMass Amherst Second Bachelors Fall 2012

U.S.A. Massachusetts

Published

Hi all,

Just thought I'd start a thread to see if anyone else applied for admission to UMass Amherst for Fall 2012. I hear it's really competitive....I'm nervous!

Ya..Amherst is my last hope! Although it is my first choice school.

What about you?

Hello everyone,

I've called every week in the month of April, and every week they said they were sending the letters out early next week. It is now April 25th, and when I called they said it would be the end of this week. So, we are all still waiting patiently, or not so patiently, and will see what actually happens.

Hello Everyone! I'm so glad that this thread exists!

I just called them this morning and was informed that they will be sending out admissions decisions via email and then the actual paper via snail mail. I am so nervous!!!! I heard its competitive... I have a low GPA so my chances seem minute.. But whatever happens, happens for a reason!! For the sake of our future! So let's not be discouraged if we get rejected... :)

If you guys have any other updates, please share!

Thanks!!

thanks for the update sarang31! My GPA was 3.7 for my bachelors and 4.0 for the prereqs (so far, but I am finishing up A&P I, and taking A&P II this summer!). Did you guys already finish all your prereqs before applying? I'm hoping this doesn't hurt me :/

Good luck to everyone!

I have a 3.8 in my prereqs and 3.0 in my undergrad. I finished all of my prereqs except nutrition (which I am currently taking online and have an A) and 100 hours of volunteer experience (which who knows if that really factors into anything).

it's my understanding that they changed the "rules" for 2012 and you have to had finished all your prereqs before the application date. But who knows! if they really did change the deadline to April 1 then they probably changed other stuff too.

The deadline was February 1st and you could have 2 courses in progress at the time of application.

gogators19 - did someone in admissions tell you that it was okay to have two prereqs in progress? I thought that was the case too since I saw it said that on the website. But then I looked at another part of the website and it said you had to have everything complete by the time of application! So I may be screwed....!!

Did you ever get an email that said your application was complete? I did, but I had all my pre-req's done before I sent in my application (before Feb. 1)...and then sometime before Feb. 1, I got an email saying my application was complete.
