<p>What high school do you go to?</p>

<p>Are you a MA resident?
If you are, you'll definitely get into UMASS. Actually, you most likely will even if you aren't a resident. </p>

<p>And I think it's good that you have B's and B+'s but in the highest level courses. Colleges would rather see you earn less than perfect grades in AP or honors classes than earn straight A's in courses that are clearly too easy for you. They'll see that you took basically all AP and will think more highly of the grades you earned (I think). It shows that you challenge yourself, which is always a good thing.</p>

<p>I don't know much about any of the schools acceptance rates or anything though, so I'm afraid I can't be of much help there.</p>
