My Chances

<p>I live in New Jersey
SAT: 1760
Major: Undecided, Deciding between Computer Science and Sports Management
Volunteer at a local nursing home for 10 years
captain hockey team
other clubs</p>

<p>Sports Management major is <em>very</em> competitive.</p>

<p>CS is a tough major. What was your math SAT score? What is your GPA?</p>

<p>OOS gives you a boost, but your SATS are pretty average. Are you being recruited for hockey? That would give you a big boost.</p>

<p>My GPA is 3.5, I go to a Private School so like we are one of the best academic high schools in the tri state. I wish I were being recruited for hockey, I could pursue my hockey career by taking time off from college to play juniors but it is to expensive and just want to go to school. I plan on playing club and just worrying about academics.</p>

<p>Edit math SAT score: 600</p>

<p>taking it again in october that was the first time I took it.</p>

<p>In that case I think your chances are decent. If you can up your SATs, probably pretty good.</p>

<p>Thanks! I visited the campus and loved it. I was wondering if it is easier to apply as an undeclared major or specify a major on your application?</p>

<p>You will have better chance if your are undeclared, but if you want Sports Management I think you have to apply for admission to that major.</p>

<p>I would apply for the major you want, if you don’t get it can still be admitted as undeclared.</p>

<p>Well I went to the admissions session before the tour, and they have four competitive majors. Business Management, Computer Science, Nursing, and I forgot the other. But you can transfer into any major they said except for Nursing. I’m guessing their nursing program is very prestige. But I do not think you need to apply for Sports Management in order to transfer into it.</p>

<p>Yeah! your in good standing, Your SAT is high and you have a good GPA with ec’s.</p>

<p>The Sports Management program is within the business school.</p>

So, yes, it is possible to transfer in of you are not accepted as a freshman, but it will be very competitive.</p>

<p>Good luck! I hope you get in.</p>

<p>Sport Management is a very competitive major at UMass. Their program is among the best in the US. They take around 80 students annually. It is a business school based program that is very highly regarded. Good luck!</p>
