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!

This is what I was told when I went and physically had a meeting with one of the admissions counselors. Yes it says on the website "all pre-reqs must be complete by the time of the deadline" but that is NOT true for 2012. You are allowed to have one or two pre-reqs in progress and your teacher of those classes must email your mid-term grade to the school. That mid-term grade will be used to factor into your pre-req GPA.

My nutrition classes I took a few years ago were not equivalent, so I am currently taking one that is equivalent and have already had my professor email them my grade.

Kylie002..I did get an email that mine was complete, although the email said I applied for the RN-BSN lol. I emailed them and got a response saying I was however correctly coded for the Second Bachelors degree.

There is a lot of of conflicting information between the two different pages that have information regarding the program...a woman even told me once, on the phone, that she was embarrassed by all of the "mistakes" or conflicting information...Not that that helps us any....still waiting:)

Hi everyone!

I just found out I got into the 2nd degree program as well! I am so excited. I also got into University of Rochester so I am so torn-UMass is much cheaper but longer. I am coming from California!

Do you guys know if we need a car for school? And have you all thought about living yet?

Congrats to everyone! :)

My parents both went to UMass and loved the school!!

I got my acceptance email this afternoon too!

For anyone who didn't get in - don't take it too hard and just keep at it. I think this was a particularly competitive group and if you apply again for the next cycle, they'll see that you are really persistent and dedicated.

For those that did get in - congrats and see you in the Fall! I've been living in the valley for the past year and I'd be happy to answer questions for those re-locating.

Hey everyone,

I just joined this site today and also just found out I was accepted in to the Second Bachelor's Program at umass. I am currently a senior undergraduate student attending umass so if anyone has any generic questions about umass or the surrounding area please feel free to ask. Congratulations to everyone that got in and good luck to those that haven't heard yet!
