Really need some insight! I've wanted to go to this school my whole life..

Colleges & Universities University of Massachusetts - Amherst

<p>I currently applied to transfer to umass with 27 units for the spring semester. I have a 2.94 with an F incorporated, and a 3.25 if you remove the F ( I took the class over again and received an A- in it). I currently attend a state college in California. </p>

<p>My question is if I am at the same standing as a kid from a JC? Do I need to complete my GE before even getting my hopes up? Or do I have a chance because I currently attend a 4 year institution? Does applying for the spring semester effect my chances?</p>

<p>I also sent them my SAT scores (1780) and wrote a solid essay in which I own up to my past mistakes, such as the F. Can someone chance me?</p>

<p>Sorry, I don’t know much about the transfer side of things.</p>

<p>I did find this:</p>

<p>

[Transfer</a> Admission](<a href=“http://www.umass.edu/ug_programguide/admissions/transfer.html]Transfer”>Transfer Admission)</p>

<p>This would seem to indicate that if you have exactly 27 credits, they will not require a HS transcript. You will have to ask UMass to be sure.</p>

<p>As for your chances, I don’t really have a feel for the transfer side of things. The web site says this about transfer students:</p>

<p>

So maybe they will ignore your F and give you the benefit of the doubt. Call and ask them what they will do.</p>
