Most likely true. Since we don’t have an answer to the class rank question, I was trying to propose a range of possibilities. UMass is a more likely reach than any of OP’s non-safeties. Barring distinguishing attributes that we don’t know about, though, I expect you’re right that it’s an unrealistic suggestion. I believe UMass Amherst does consider race (unless that has changed since 2015?), so that would help a little, but likely not enough. (UMass Lowell is up-and-coming for CS, though, and likely attainable, if being in the Boston metro area would be desirable for the OP.)
