Chance me for honors college UMASS Amherst?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi all,
I recently applied to UMASS and I was wondering what my chances were at getting into the honors college specifically?</p>

<p>BASICS:
1.) SATS: Just got my scores back, 2160 with a 1410/1600
2.) GPA Unweighted: 3.84, Weighted: 4.60
3.) Rank: unfortunately, my school does not rank.</p>

<p>ECS:
Editor in Chief of my HS newspaper. We won a pacemaker which was awesome. we have a list of other awards as well but for the sake of time, I'll just bunch them all together as other awards :)
Mock Trial Captain: perfect score for witness role and nominated for a best attorney award
Volunteer at local hospital: 100 hour pin
Peer Leader: very select few chosen (I believe it was 40 out of the whole school. I go to a 2000 kid school so pretty big deal)
Worked at a local pre school and created an original lesson plan.</p>

<p>Recs: I'm not allowed to read them so I can't be sure but I think they both should be very positive if not glowing
Essay: Again, this is so subjective so I'm not sure but I worked very hard on my essay and I really liked how it turned out:). </p>

<p>Thanks for all your help! </p>

<p>I know the guidelines are 1350 SAT so you’re good to go there. Your GPA is fine too. Not sure what else they consider. My daughter is hoping to get into the Commonwealth College as well, her SAT is exactly 1350 but her GPA is 4.1 UW, and her school does not rank either so I hope that works…</p>

<p>FWIW, I think you are a great candidate. Good luck!</p>

<p>@NEPatsGirl do you mean 4.1 weighted? Or does your daughters school do unweighted GPAs differently?</p>

<p>No, that is unweighted. Her weighted score is upwards to 5.0 Not sure how it is done, can it be that AP/IB classes ar worth more? Or is it that she gets 105 on a test vs 100? I’m in the dark here too, just regurgitating what the paperwork says lol.</p>

<p>@NEPatsGirl weighted would indicate her AP classes hm weird…
My unweighted is out of 4.0 so that’s very interesting to see a different GPA scale</p>
