Can I get into the Umass Lowell/Amherst Nursing Programs?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Please chance me for the undergrad RN program for Umass Lowell and/or Umass Amherst. Other Umasses would be good too but those first two are very important to me, especially Lowell. Also, how can I improve my chances? Thanks!</p>

<p>Here my stats:</p>

<p>Female
Hispanic
3.7/3.8 un-weighted (4.2 ish weighted)
Most courses for honors (all in junior year)
Soccer, theater, track
Volunteer at local charity and church
Hospital internship
SAT: 560 Math, 620 Critical reading (will take SAT's again and they will go up)
Expecting to take SAT subject tests in Math I and bio or chem
Won the Bausch & Lomb science award from Rochester University
Two college courses taken in chemistry (got an A) and biology at Middlesex Community College</p>

<p>I would think you have a pretty good chance at both. Just get SAT scores up to have a better chance.</p>

<p>Thanks, what’s a good target number? </p>

<p>For Lowell, the average SAT score for 2013 was 1134. However, nursing is pretty competitive. I would say try for <em>at least</em> a 1300 (650 on both). Obviously the higher the better. UMass Amherst’s mean SAT score was 1256. </p>
