I got admitted to UMass for maths and wanted to know if i could switch to CS

We mistakenly think Psychology is part of social science but turns out it is not. I wonder if it is easy to switch to psychology? Is psychology difficult to get in?

I know someone who had an SAI score in the negatives for their FAFSA, and in their letter of acceptance was offered a scholarship for 18,000 a year. Is that all the aid they will receive, or will they receive more aid in their financial aid offer in spire? Additionally, is the aid they received in the acceptance letter need-based or merit-based? They are out of state. Thanks for the help.

Hi all,

I’ve recently committed and was wondering whether or not I need to update my final senior year grades on the STARS portal (once I receive them). On the website, it states that you must email your final transcript but there’s no mention of completing STARS. I ask because I’m having trouble logging into my account.

Thanks!

Hey guys! 🚩

Huge congrats to everyone getting into UMass Amherst! 🏛️

I realized there wasn’t a central spot for the Class of 2030 to hang out yet, so I made a Discord server to get the ball rolling. If you’re looking to:

🤝 Meet your future best friends before freshman year starts.

🏠 Find a roommate (no more random assignments stress!).

💬 Chat about majors, campus life, or just vibe.

...then come join us! It’s brand new, so you're getting in on the ground floor. Let's make the next four years legendary.

Can't wait to meet you all! Go UMass! 🐾

This might be harsh, but does anyone feel as if UMass undergrad CS program is painfully mediocre? Although it ranks T30 for its program, I feel opportunities here are super minimal.

For reference, I landed a 250k total comp role in SF following my graduation in May. I also interviewed at Google, Meta, Klaviyo, and a few hedge funds and UMass was unheard of to the hiring managers and recruiters.
