<p>I am applying undecided to UMASS Amherst. It is my dream school and I very much want to get in. Do you think I can get in? I have not applied to another school yet, so if it's not a shoe-in, I need to apply somewhere else asap. Chance me and I'll chance back!!!!!</p>
<p>-I have a 3.43 gpa, a 4.2 weighted.
-Take all honors and AP's. (3 aps and 20 honors classes)
-Gpa in order of year: 3.2, 3.1, 3.8 (all honors coursework), and so far in senior year, 3.55
-I got an 1820 on my sat's</p>
<p>Extracurriculars:
-2 years of varsity track
-Founding member of my schools Young Democrats branch (2 years)
-Founding member of my schools Interact branch (3 years)
-4 years of ACT (my schools volunteer/planning group)
-6+ years of drama experience. Been involved with over 15 plays.
-Volunteered for 4 political campaigns
-Paid tutor for 4 years</p>
<p>A long-distance “friend” of mine (friend used loosely) got into UMASS Amherst with similar stats (slightly lower GPA [3.3] but slightly higher SATs [1920]). They also didn’t found any clubs and spent all their time after school smoking, so I think you have a good chance :P</p>
<p>Thank you! Anybody else?</p>
<p>I believe that Amherst will be a match for you. And WHEN you get in and go there, of you decided to contact me on here and tell me about the college life there, I would greatly appreciate it. I’m looking at umass Amherst as my safety.</p>
<p>Possible match-high match. SAT scores and GPA could be better, but they aren’t horrible. ECs are all good. You should really apply to some other schools though, just in case <em>can’t think of any at the moment</em>.</p>
<p>Sooo, about chancing back XD

<p>DukeHopeful2014 - I’ve been on some tours and I know a lot of people. It’s known as a ‘party school’, and if that’s what you’re looking for, it is. But to me, it’s not. If you have any specific questions, just pm me :)</p>
<p>Benetoite - Thanks!! I’ll chance you back</p>
<p>I think you’ve got a very good shot! I like the depth with drama and the whole political theme you’ve got going on. Just get your GPA a little higher and I think you’re good to go :)</p>
<p>chance me please? thanks, it would mean so much!!!
