Chances for Sports Management programs?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>As a rising senior I'm interested in majoring in Sports Management in college, however I don't really know where I stack up. If anyone could chance me at the following school's Sports Management/Marketing/Media programs it would be greatly appreciated. </p>

<p>UConn, UMass Amherst, Syracuse, Ithaca, Temple, University of Oregon, and Bowling Green State</p>

<p>White male, small public school in Maine
GPA: last I saw it was UW 3.82, this was recent so my actual GPA probably does not deviate from this by too much
Rank: Unknown however definitely top 10%, which would be somewhere in the top 14-16
SAT: Reading: 590
Math: 600
Writing: 580
(I plan to take these again as I believe that realistically I can break 1900)</p>

<p>APs:
Euro(3)
US -pending
Statistics -pending
English -pending
Physics -senior year
Calc -senior year
Human Geo -senior year</p>

<p>-The remainder of my courses have been at the highest level offered, mostly honors. Additionally I will be taking 4 years of the same foreign language(spanish).</p>

<p>ECs:
-4 years soccer (3 varsity)
-4 years baseball (3 varsity, guaranteed captain senior year)
-1 year of basketball
-intramural floor hockey(two-time champion), volleyball, handball, basketball
-NHS member
-NJHS VP
-class VP sophomore year
-volunteered with youth baseball and soccer (roughly 25 hours) and this past year's prom(5 hours)</p>

<p>-Saint Michael's Book Award recipient
-Rotary Youth Leadership Award participant
-recipient of award presented to the most influential student(s)/those with the most spirit in the student section at our basketball games - I easily consider this one of my greatest accomplishments as I spent the entirety of the past winter revitalizing our once large and boisterous but recently idle student section. Whether or not this is some sort of service I put in 75+ very rewarding hours. Because of my participation in such I really want to attend a large school that is very active in athletics and is quite spirit-oriented. </p>

<p>Any information that you can provide me will be very helpful as I really don't know where I stand with any of these schools. Thanks!</p>

<p>Match for UMass’ SM program.
You’ll get into Temple’s SM program, and if you can raise your CR+M 50+ points, you’re probably looking at a $5K+ a year scholarship.</p>

<p>If you have any questions about Temple’s program, let me know, since I’m in it.</p>

<p>Thanks so much for the response.
As far as Temple goes I believe the SM program is not in their business school but rather in the school of tourism and hospitality management. Does this highly affect the program? I am looking for more of the business side of the sports industry and not the planning and event managing.</p>

<p>The STHM is the sister school of the Fox School of Business. Both schools have the same dean. We take classes in both the new and old business school buildings, like the Fox students do. It is definitely business focused, unlike many SM programs which are in education or kinesiology. It’s not solely focused on the business side of sports, as opposed to planning and event management, but as you progress, the majority of your classes center around business and business of sport. I’m looking to work in the sports industry as well.</p>

<p>Thanks so much for the information. One last question: what makes you say I’m a match for UMass? As I thought they were one of the strongest and most competitive programs in the country.</p>

<p>Trust me, with a 3.8+ and an 1190 CR+M (and possibly higher if you retake it), it would be criminal if you didn’t get in.</p>

<p>Haha well then, thanks for your help.</p>
