Hi everyone! Based on my stats, how would I fare if I applied to the College of Engineering at UMass?
ACT- 30 Composite (33 English, 32 Reading, 28 Math, 28 Science, 9 Essay)
PSAT-2020 (700 CR, 650 M, 670 W)
GPA- 3.5 UW/4.1 W
8 AP Classes, counselor said I have one of the hardest schedules at my school (lol)
AP Calc AB
AP Stat
AP Chem
AP English Lang
AP Euro
AP Comp Gov
AP Macro
AP Comp Sci
ECs:
President of club, positions in other clubs, varsity XC and track, volunteering (idk how much), pre-collegiate programs, blah blah blah etc
Honors:
Hopefully AP Scholar
NMS Commended I think (does this matter at all?)
NHS I think
National Spanish Honors Society (hahahah)
Essay competitions
Due to my lower math scores and lack of math/science ECs (probably doing pre-college science program this summer), do I have a chance at all for engineering? Thanks!!
I think you have a good shot but the engineering school is amongst the most selective at UMass. (As you probably know) Additionally, I can’t find the overall average statistics in the school but I am guessing that for the school of engineering it is somewhere around a 1380+ (M+CR) SAT and a 4.2+ WGPA. (I wish someone could correct me!) This all being said, the most selective program is apparently the polymer science and engineering program since UMass is a world leader in this. Lastly, I can’t say much about the civil/environmental engineering program specifically, so I hope there is someone on here that is directly involved in that. (No guarantees!)
PS- Given that strong course load, and pretty strong EC’s, I think you should get in. (But don’t kick me if otherwise!)
