I’m currently a high school junior whose dream school is UMass Amherst. Do you think I have a good chance of being accepted?
GPA: UW 3.9 Weighted 4.39 I have taken all honors courses but no APs yet. I took AP Computer Science but I struggled greatly so I dropped it from my schedule. I will take 3 APs my senior year.
SATs: Took the PSATs, haven’t received my scores yet but with a little more studying and practice I think my score will be good
ECs: this is my biggest weakness.
Archery (9,11,12) took a break sophomore year but just go to classes, don’t compete or anything
School online newspaper (10,11,12) will probably become editor senior year
Piano lessons (10) had to quit because they were too expensive, might rejoin
Television Club (11,12)
Volunteer at an Art Museum (11,12)
Do you think these ECs are good enough for UMass Amherst? I don’t really have any great awards or achievements. I got accepted to the school’s Science National Honor Society, which is good, I guess. I greatly want to go; it’s my dream school. I just want some help/advice. What do you think?
What other colleges should I be looking at?
