Can I get into the UMass system?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm a senior, taking a gap year, spending it working part time doing grocery stuff, working two internships, one with an optical engineer and the other hopefully at google, also I'll be putting together a business plan based around a number of inventions I've been working on</p>

<p>So I have a 2.7 GPA which is crap but I go to a pretty competitive school, it's not scaled either and I've taken a lot of honors english, science and math classes which is yet to be factored in, I also hear a 3.0 at my school is a 4.0 at many others </p>

<p>I got a 1570 on my SATs with out studying and during my gap year I plan on taking it again, this coming fall, I've heard I have a pretty moving and stellar college essay too.</p>

<p>Anyways I was just wondering what I have a chance to get into?<br>
I live in massachusetts and really love the UMass system and would love getting into one of them for engineering or physics and was wondering what chance I have for getting into Umass Lowell to Amherst or Boston</p>

<p>That GPA won’t do much for you regardless of your SAT scores. You definitely won’t get into UMass Amherst and your chances don’t look good at UMass Lowell either. I would suggest UMass Boston. I know they are willing to take a chance on a student with a low GPA that shows some potential.</p>

<p>your chances are pretty crap. it sounds like your sugarcoating it. why wouldn’t you study for SATs? thats what the PSATs are for…but then again UMass is a pretty crappy system so you might get in. Maybe go to community college first (if you make that hahaahahah)</p>
