Can i get into Umass Amherst

<p>Hey i was just wondering if i had a chance to get in.
GPA: 2.95 but my high school is a very good catholic high school and i have 4 ap's. I also have an upward trend going from 77 freshman year to 90 sophmore year and 87 junior year
Sat 1210 on the 1600 scale critical reading-690 math-520

<p>Are you in state? The 2.95 could he a sticking point for them as they like around 3.35 but they definitely care about the upward trend and will take that into account. SATs are pretty strong for UMASS and show them the student you are today. It just depends on how holistically they read it. Good luck!</p>

<p>Unfortunately i am from New York and do you know if they give interviews? Maybe that would help me</p>

<p>Whats your SAT score out of 2400? The writing score is important too…</p>

<p>I agree that your GPA is low and since you are from out of state it may be harder to get in. As far as I know they do not give interviews since it is such a large school. Write an amazing essay and get some great recommendations. You have a chance, but it’s not for sure because of your GPA.</p>
