Hi,
My Weighted GPA - 4.16, ACT Composite - 28, Mostly B- and above in Accelerated/Honors courses, Currently doing 3 AP Courses in Computer Science, Chemistry and Calculus AB. Few extra-curricular activities and volunteer work.
Applied for EA in CS Major. Do I have a chance. Thanks for your info.
What is your unweighted GPA? Are you in-state?
I am in MA. My school don’t give unweighted.
Being in-state will probably help you. It is hard to interpret weighted GPA because different schools compute it differently. I don’t know whether all Massachusetts schools do it the same but across the US it varies a LOT.
That being said, I am wondering whether UMass Amherst is a match or a safety for you. CS is a relatively tough major to get into which means that I might guess “match”. My guess then is that your chances are pretty good, but you should consider having another safety (possibly UMass Lowell?).
UMass Amherst has a very good CS program as you probably know. I have worked with a bunch of software engineers from there. Good luck with this!
Thank you.
