Personal statement required (250-650 words), plus one supplement:
Reported, not confirmed
UMass Amherst has asked its own 100-word custom questions on the Common App (why this major, why UMass, and a community question).
Documented in a UMass admissions PDF from the 2024 cycle. The current first-year page says nothing about essays either way, so treat this as unconfirmed for 2026-27 and check the Common App.
