I’ve attended an ice hockey showcase at Umass twice as of November, and hoping to play if I attend UMA. The coach knows my name and reached out to my parents to see if I was attending this coming showcase. It is a club team but it is D1 in the ACHA.
Parents are divorced, four siblings (one at Middlebury College), from Cape Cod.
Your GPA is a bit low for UMass Amherst, but not out of their range. Your SAT is good for them. I would have liked to see a couple more AP classes for you. Nice activities. You have a shot. And if the hockey coach does want you, that can really help. You might get in anyway, so know that. And hockey can really help you if they want you. I wish you the best of luck!
