A new report is suggesting that admission into the University of Massachusetts is more difficult for in-state residents than out-of-state.
The report comes from the Pioneer Institution in Boston, which points to data from 2010 to 2016 showing that non-resident students accepted to the Amherst campus had lower high school grade-point averages and SAT scores than their in-state counterparts.
UMass officials say the report is not true, citing an increased enrollment of in-state students over the last decade.
