I'm curious about how competitive it is to get into UMass Amherst through regular decision. Does anyone know what their acceptance rate is for regular decision? Just trying to weigh my chances.
The University of Massachusetts Amherst, popularly known as UMass Amherst, has a relatively competitive admission process. As of 2024, the overall acceptance rate is around 67%. However, this includes both early action and regular decision applicants. UMass Amherst doesn't publicly break down its acceptance rate for just regular decision applicants but generally, the rates tend to be a bit lower in the regular decision pool because it's usually larger and more competitive.
Remember that acceptance rate alone doesn't determine your chances of admission. Factors such as your academic profile, extracurricular involvement, and how you fit with the university's culture also play a significant role. Good luck with your application!
