The admission process at the University of Massachusetts (UMass) involves several key steps. Prospective students must submit an online application via the Common App or UMass-specific portal, along with a non-refundable fee. Required materials include high school transcripts, letters of recommendation, and standardized test scores (though some campuses are test-optional).
Applicants may need to submit a personal statement or essay. Deadlines vary by program and semester, with early action typically due November 1. After review, admitted students receive an offer letter. Financial aid applications, like the FAFSA, should be completed separately to determine eligibility for scholarships or aid.
