<p>I'd really like to go here but I'm not sure if it's worth applying with my gpa.</p>
<p>GPA: 2.99 I have an upward trend and I got all A's and A- for the first term senior year.
I had a 2.7 freshman year. 3.0 soph and junior year, and so far a 3.9 senior year.</p>
<p>SAT: 1240 (670 Math/570 CR)</p>
<p>ECs: Football 4 years. 2 yrs varsity for a pretty decent sized school.
15 hours of volunteer service.</p>
<p>Noteworthy classes: honors chemistry, honors algebra 2, honors US 2, A.P. European history</p>
<p>My senior classes are:
Physics
Pre-Calc
English
A.P. Euro
Economics
Accounting 1</p>
<p>One other good option that is not mentioned very much is to attend a community college for two years and then transfer to UMass or private colleges. That way you will save a lot of money and will recieve a great education and have an opportunity to reapply yourself starting with essentially a blank state. My roommate (at a different U) attended community college and told me that the teaching quality is really great and that there are many hard working and dedicated students.</p>

I would suggest she get involved in a club or two that does things on the weekends, which hopefully won’t revolve around partying. This will introduce her to many new people outside her dorm.</p>
<p>What dorm is she in? Moving to a quieter (less party-happy) dorm might suit her better. The Northeast dorms are a bit more sedate.</p>
<p>Is she a non-drinker? She might have to look around to find a group, but they are out there.</p>
