In all honesty, engineering is an extremely competitive field. I would not consider UMass Amherst to be “extremely likely” for a student with a 3.65 gpa. I’d certainly give it a shot, but I’d also look at colleges with well established Schools of Engineering but which are not as competitive, e.g. University at Buffalo, Manhattan University, and University of Vermont. RPI might be worth a shot, but it would be more of a toss up as I think is WPI.
