UMass Amherst Wait List Acceptance Rate

Wait List Acceptance Rate

The University of Massachusetts at Amherst saw a significant wait list acceptance rate of 53.14% for the application year 2024, with 4,381 students offered a place and 2,326 accepting their spots. This year marked a dramatic increase in the acceptance rate compared to the previous application year 2023, which was not reported, and a stark jump from the Class of 2028's acceptance rate of just 9.04%, where only 396 out of 4,381 waitlisted students were admitted. This fluctuation indicates a volatile wait list process, emphasizing varying levels of competitiveness over the years.
