Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>hey, I was wondering what you guys think my chances of getting into UMass Amherst are after checking out my stats:</p>

<p>GPA 3.0
AP U.S. History
Honors English 1-3
Honors Spanish
Honors Chem and Bio
Latin 1,2
4 years of Math, History, Science, Language, English,
3 years of Band, and such electives</p>

<p>SAT 1875 (Math 570, Reading 590, Writing 670, Essay 10)</p>

<p>E.C's:
Theatre Project 4 years
D.I 3 years
Track and Field 4 years
Ski (forever)
Make Award Winning Films (M.I.F.F. award winner and finalist) (State Film Festivals and such winner)
International Club 1 year
Bridges (leadership/counselor training) at Camp Hawthorne</p>

<p>I think I wrote a very good college essay and I sent a separate "note of interest" to the admissions office.</p>

<p>I had my Latin teacher send a letter of rec (I plan on majoring in italian and I think it wold help to get one from a Latin teacher) as well as my science teacher and counselor.</p>

<p>Thanks guys, I appreciate it.</p>

<p>My son got his acceptance envelope today. Based on his stats, you're in easy.</p>

<p>He had SAT 1580 and 3.35 GPA. Very few honors courses, quite a few activities and he has 200 community service hours, well above the 60 that our school district requires for graduation. His essay was very good, Dad's a journalist and would know. I did not help him write it.</p>

<p>He applied early decision but will not be going to UMass. He was accepted as an undeclared major rather than sports management, which is very competitive there. He's going to Temple instead. Temple accepted him into its sports management major as a freshman. Both are good programs, extremely high placement rates, which in my opinion is key these days. After all, if you spend $100K to send your kid to college, you have to hope there's a job waiting.</p>

<p>well i have around 35 hours of community service, my school (which is one of the most competitive public schools in NE) only requires 30 hours. I don't know if the person in charge of community service put them on my transcript though, which is annoying.
Do you think that'll matter?</p>

<p>Your son also has a bit higher GPA than me.
But I do greatly appreciate the well-wishes!</p>

<p>Congrats to your son as well!</p>
