Hello, i just recently applied to Umass amherst via early action. My sat score is 1110 with 590 in math and 520 in
Reading with a 3.4 weighted gpa. But i am also submitting my 1st quarter
Senior year grades wit a 95 in english, 86 in ap bio & 83 in ap calc. I also
Have some volunteer hours and
Decent ecs with a solid college essay and solid reccomendation letters. I
have applied as either a premed or bio major and I realize those are
extremely competitive which is what
scares me. I also had a couple C’s in
highschool. Please chance me and
respond. Thanks
What AP’s have you taken/are taking? Also, what subjects where those C’s in- if you’re applying as a Bio major, C’s in humanities classes might not matter as much, but if they were science/math classes, they could have a bad effect.
I took ap lang last year and i am taking ap bio and ap calc this year and my c’s were in science and math class unfortunately 
but so far this year my ap bio grade is a 86 and ap calc grade is an 83 for the first quarter so i am hoping that, that will help me out. @supersuperski
Those AP’s help you out, and if you have an upward progression on your GPA you probably have a fair chance since your scores are in their range. I’d encourage you to contact the admissions rep for your area and keep in contact with them. This will show them that you really are interested and it could help you get accepted.
