<p>You’ve got some nice EC’s, and your test scores are good, but your GPA is on the low side, and your class history does not seem that rigorous (unless I am misinterpreting “5 Honors classes taken throughout high school”).</p>

<p>You are OOS which is in your favor. Not sure a UMass legacy is worth anything.</p>

<p>I’d say your chances are decent, but you are not a home run, ha ha.</p>

<p>You are likely in. Your 3.0 is unweighted, meaning your UMass GPA is probably a 3.4 or something which is about average. Your SAT’s/ACT’s are strong, you are out of state, and your class rigor is increasing (3 AP’s senior year). Depends on the major but unless it is engineering or business, I would be surprised if you don’t get in.</p>
