Early Action Admission Program
You’ve visited campus. You’ve talked to people. You’ve done your homework. You’ve decided that UMass Amherst is the place for you.
UMass Amherst offers an Early Action Admission Program to students who select the University of Massachusetts Amherst as one of their top choices.
We know that many students and families start the college selection process as early as the 10th grade, and a growing number have already made a decision about where to apply by the start of their senior year. The Early Action (EA) program offers students a way to apply early for admission to UMass Amherst. EA students indicate Early Action admissions type on their application and submit by November 1. The campus must receive all the required credentials including SAT or ACT score and high school transcript by December 1 to qualify as a EA applicant. Students will learn of their acceptance by mid-December.
The University of Massachusetts Amherst offers the traditional Regular Decision application process which provides students the maximum amount of time to decide on college selection. The application submission date for Regular Decision is January 15 with a corresponding May 1 deposit.
