I plan on applying Early Action next year to UMASS Amherst. It’s a reach but is it do able?

What are my chances with…

2.9 GPA so far (I plan on taking 2 APs senior year 1st Q and maybe bump it up to a 3?)
1750 SAT
From MA
5 Varsity Letters
Im in alot of different Clubs
-Diversity
-Speech
-computer
120 hours of community service
1st generation African-American
Come from a challenging Jesuit HS (Boston College HS) that has a high acceptance rate into UMASS Amherst.

I’m not too concerned about scholarships, considering its already a reach, but what are my chances and how can I help them leading up to applying?
