My gpa is a 2.9 (4.0) and I have an SAT of 1540.
I play for the boston youth symphony orchestra and have been for the past four years. I am a varsity Javelin thrower. I also coach youth Basketball and Flag football.
Chances where?
To UMass Amherst
Prepscholar says that the average GPA for U.Mass Amherst is 3.83. Collegedata has it at 3.89. The students that I know who have been accepted there have GPAs which were at least this high.
I think that it is a reach for you because of your GPA. You need to apply to other safer alternatives.
Do you have a reason for your GPA being a little bit on the low side, particularly relative to your excellent SAT score? Do you have an uptrend or a downtrend?
