I'm interested in applying to UMass Amherst, but I'm finding it hard to keep track of all the deadlines. Could someone clarify the regular and early action deadlines for UMass Amherst? I don't want to miss anything important.
For UMass Amherst, the admissions deadlines are as follows:
- Early Action Deadline: November 5
- Regular Decision Deadline: January 15
By these dates, you should be finishing up your application and getting it ready to submit online. Also, let your high school counselors and anyone you're asking for recommendations know about these dates, ensuring that all the needed documents are submitted on time.
Don't forget, applying by the early action deadline isn't obligatory, but it can be beneficial as you'll hear back from the university earlier, typically around February. The regular decision notification usually comes around the end of March. But remember, you must remain committed to keeping your senior-year grades strong as colleges pay attention to your performance all the way through graduation, not just up until application time. Good luck with your application process!
