Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Transferring from UMass Boston to UMass Amherst, currently in my second semester of freshman year. What do you guys think my chances are of getting in? Here are my stats:</p>

<p>White female living in Massachusetts. </p>

<p>G.E.D. recipient. scores in the 99th percentile for 3 of the 5 tests, the other two tests were in the 92nd and 93rd percentiles.</p>

<p>3.23 GPA for first semester; Dean's List</p>

<p>SAT: 1970 out of 2400</p>

<p>I have no extracurriculars at UMass Boston, but then again, nobody does. I work 21 hours a week at a law firm. </p>

<p>I'm also in college a year earlier than I should be, as I should be beginning my first semester in the fall but I got my GED instead and started early. (I wrote about this in the essay, where they ask you to describe any academic/personal experiences that are unique to you) Before I got my GED, i was attending Boston Latin. </p>

<p>What do you guys think?</p>

<p>Also, is the "interchange transfer" program really anything more than a bit of priority for UMass students?</p>

<p>Well obviously you'd have to wait and see, but I think you definitely have a chance. And as far as I've gathered from friends, the interchange is, like, a teeny little tickmark in your favor but not decisive.</p>

<p>YES YES MASSACHUSETTS</p>
