Im transfereing from UMass Boston to Umass Amherst for Mechanical engineering. I have a 4.0 GPA in my first semester and 3.7 GPA from high school. My SAT was 1190. I dont have many extra curriculars from college except a promised internship at a very good engineering company. But i had really strong ecs in HS including marching band and Theatre and Debate. I understand its a hard major but I was just wondering. Im currently a freshman at UMass boston.
Will you be applying as an interchange transfer? Does that major have any pre-reqs, and have you completed them? If so, then I think you stand a good shot. Your college GPA means a lot in this circumstance, and could balance out your SAT, which is low for UMass Amherst and for UMass Amherst engineering. Good luck!
If you don’t get in, then do another term at Boston. Keep those grades up, and reapply.
