<p>Hey guys, I am looking to get into UMASS - Amherst. I am in Fairfax County, VA at Chantilly High School(top 100 in nation), our gradng system is all effed up. 100-94 is an A, 93-90 is a B+, so on and so forth. My GPA is around mid 2's with 2 honors in the past, 2 AP's now(Us History and English), and AP Gov and AP Enviornmental next year. I just took the SAT's ill post my scores as soon as I get them. I play football, I am apart of DECA (chapter officer and district president), and play rugby as well. I do a bunch of community service believe it or not. Thanks. What do you think my chances are...? (and yes I have already been to many sites...i.e theu.com, princetonreview,collegeboard.com....) Thanks.</p>
<p>How many hours of cs do you have? I would say UMASS-Amherst could be a possibility, but don't count on getting in with a 2.5 GPA. Apply to some less competitive instate schools just in case.</p>
<p>no chance with a 2.5 gpa</p>

<p>I think that you should try to find out how these colleges recalculate GPA. If you can find that out, your GPA may be higher than it actually is.</p>
