Wonderful essay (My English teacher and tutor think so)
Uconn might be a bit of a reach, but the upward trend in your GPA might grab their attention. I highly recommend sending in your ap scores as well to both schools. UMASS Amherst has high test score expectations, as their median score for admission was a 1270- well above the national average. Unfortunately essays and letters of rec don’t matter as much to big state schools, so they may be overlooked. Unfortunately I have to say that both schools may be a reach. U Lowell has a wonderful premed track though- if you don’t get accepted to these schools, I’d highly recommend going there.
Thanks for the reply! I guess I must be an exception because I got into UMass Amherst today!
