<p>I don't have many ECs due to the amount of hours I was working during the week.

<p>My HS record is not great, I’m well aware, but I tried quite hard this semester and I hope they’ll realize that. By the end of the year I will have 30 credits and I’m hoping for a 3.7-3.8 GPA for the year.</p>

<p>UMASS is a great school, and if you show that you’re excited to go there, you should get in. What’s your intended major? Business is more competitive, but there are other programs that are easier to get in.</p>
