Am I on Track?

Can I get any $ for applying early action (I need about 10,000 for UMass)?

UMass does not give a lot of financial aid, although a number of people who were OOS reported getting a $5K scholarship of some sort. UMass is trying to increase the number of OOS students because they pay more (about $12K/year) so it seems they gave out a bunch of $5K “coupons” so to speak to try to entice them.

Don’t know if they are still doing that.

Your GPA is certainly good enough.

I don’t know anything about the History department at UMass (or anywhere else) so I can’t really say what other schools would be good, or if UMass would be good for that matter.
