<p>Well, according to the College Board, UMass’ 25th percentile for SAT scores is 1110 (540 CR + 570 M), and the 75th percentile is 1310 (640 CR + 670 M). So I’m right in the middle of the middle 50%. I think I’ll be fine in that regard, to be honest. And I’ll be a college freshman in 2015-16, so being wait listed would give me an option of keeping myself in the running for either Fall 2015 or Spring 2016. That’s an option I would definitely jump on. Although I would hope being the first applicant would give me some sort of a boost. Thank you for the well wishes, and best of luck to your son as he begins his college career in this wonderful institution :)</p>
