Why not apply to the colleges you want - including UMass AMHERST, not UMass Boston. Simmons is a good school, and if you got in there and are doing well there, you’d probably get into UMass Amherst. And apply to BC, Brandeis, etc. See if you get in, and see what aid they offer. What’s the risk? At worst, you don’t get in, or you do and can’t afford it so you go to UMass Amherst. But at least you tried.

I mean, right now you stand no chance of getting in, because you’re too afraid to even apply. So apply. What’s there to lose except the application fee?
