Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Massachusetts - Amherst

<p>GPA: 4.02 weighted (not sure unweighted, but definitely 3.5+)
Rank: In top 5-10% of my class (around 450 kids)
ECs: Mock Trial (captain), Key Club, maybe History Honor Society, and maybe National Honor Society
Other: Attended Girls State, volunteer at MSPCA on Saturdays from 1-5pm (since 4/2011, and I work with cats, small animals, and soon dogs)
SAT: 1680 (540 reading, 560 math, and 580 writing). This concerns me the most. My friends say it's fine for UMA, but I feel my scores are too low. I'm re-taking them in November, and possibly December if I still do not like them. </p>

<p>What do you guys think? By the way, I got the Abigail Adams' scholarship and the Koplik Certificate of Mastery with Distinction (both waive tuition).</p>

While you still have a chance, your scores are too low to have a high level of confidence of admission. You are wise to take them again. If your MCAS is high enough to get the Adams, you should be able to get higher SATs IMO.</p>

Just to make sure you know - tuition at UMA is $1714/year. The other $12000 is fees. The Adams and Koplik cover only tuition, and DO NOT cover the fees.</p>
