<p>What do you think my chances are of getting in:</p>

<p>junior in HS now</p>

<p>Major: Computer Science bachelors (i hear the standards are higher for this)</p>

<p>GPA: 3.78 weighted
SAT: taking them this saturday, but i got 1740 on the PSAT so just use that</p>

<p>Top 10%, public school</p>

<p>Taking AP english and calculus next year, others are honors, and my school has a tech program and i've been in computer science the whole time</p>

<p>NO ECs, aside from freshman football and i did some work for my uncle's selectman campaign, which i heard sort of counts as something.</p>

<p>From Mass., got all advanced on MCAS so probably going to get that adams scholarship.</p>

<p>probably gonna do the early decision thing as well, just because umass amherst is super appealing.</p>

<p>WHITE (will they sue me for saying im a pacific islander?)</p>

<p>thanks for answers!!!</p>

No, but you could be expelled for lying. I hope you’re joking! :)</p>

<p>To get the Adams, you have to have at least one proficient and one advanced, and be in the top 25% of scores for your town. It’s only worth $1714/year, so it isn’t worth getting too excited about.</p>

<p>PSAT doesn’t always correlate to SAT. Check back in when you get your test scores.</p>

<p>Applying Early Action (UMass doesn’t have early decision) gives you the best chances for scholarship money, although I think you will need better test scores than 1740.</p>
