Hate to do this...but Chances?

<p>Did ok freshman year. Did pretty bad sophomore year, brought it up junior year, then brought it up even more senior year.</p>

<p>I have done about 9 honors classes and am currently taking AP Biology where I have about an A- in. Planning to major in Biology.</p>

2

<p>I’m also In-state and most likely in at least the top 50% of my class.</p>

3

<p>I think you have a good chance of getting in. The SATs are good and bringing your grades up looks good too</p>

4

<p>I personally think you are going to get in because I applied with far worse stats and got deferred, so if I didn’t get denied than you’re in. My sat scores combined were 1460…gpa was 3.1</p>

5

<p>I hate to say this but I don’t think you have very good chances. A 3.1 GPA weighted is very low, as the average GPA for last year’s acceptance was around a 3.6. Also, you have very few extracurriculars.</p>

6

<p>You’ll get in</p>

7

<p>You will get in. My guess is that you go to a very competitive high school, the colleges know who they are. There is much grade inflation in high schools out there. UMass has a GPA average of 3.6 and an SAT average of 1100. They don’t correlate, the GPA is inflated. So your high school will have sent their hardness of curriculum rating; relax, you are in. You will notice that only people with high stats post their GPA and SAT. Such is the world. Good luck, the world is yours.</p>
