I am a senior in highschool and I am trying to get into UMass Amherst. I have a 2.83 GPA and scored a 1090/1600 on the SAT. I also played varsity basketball and football in highschool. Plus I do a lot of volunteering. To add to it I am an Asian male and I live in Washington State which I’m sure will help in the diversity factor. I already applied and was accepted to UMass Boston but the admissions requirements are different and it is harder to get into the Amherst campus. Do you guys think I’ll get in?
I think it is pretty unlikely, although you never know. Your GPA is far below the average, and your SAT is below the average as well. That said, your varsity sports and volunteering are good, but I don’t know how much they will make up for. Regardless of whether you get into the Amherst campus, congratulations on getting into the Boston one! You should be proud of your accomplishments.
