UMass Amherst Transfer Students?

Hello!

I applied to Umass Amherst as a incoming freshman but unfortunately did not get in. I plan on going to another school for the fall and applying to Umass for their spring admission. Has anyone done this and got in? Also has anyone gone to a community college such as hcc or gcc for one semester and then transferred to Umass? What would they look at my high school stats or the grades of my fall semester of college?

If you’re transferring your freshmen year of college they still look at high school grades, sat,act
