what are my chances?

<p>i have a 3.17 gpa, 1920 on sat, 27 act
good extracurriculars & good essay.
im also doing early action.
what do you think???
also, does anyone know when we will find out if were applying early action??</p>

<p>Website says we should hear around mid to late December -- I'm sure you'll get in!</p>

<p>In state- yes
out of state- 50/50</p>

<p>Are the standards for OOS and in-state radically different ?</p>

<p>yea im in state, and i think they do. thats usually how state schools are, right?</p>

<p>Some admittedly do discriminate against OOS...others like UDel, do not explicitly state they do but may well do anyway. You would think that they would welcome OOS kids...generate more $$$. Then again, some of the local state residents may complain if too many OOS kids are admitted... Complicated world I guess</p>

<p>My friend got in with almost same GPA and SAT 1750 last year
he was OOS (New Hampshire) but he went to UNH because Umass didn't offer any scholorship</p>

<p>I don't know, your gpa might be a little low. Sat's are good.
With the recent economic crisis, more people are going to want to go to cheap state schools, and with UMass being one of the best.....make your college essay very good</p>

<p>I applied early action, I have around a 3.2, 1800 SATs, good ECs (professional theatre.. i dont know if that will help me)..
I'm from NY, but I was born in MA.. what do you think my chances are?</p>
