Pulling no punches that is a very low GPA for the Sports Management program. I think your best bet is to call and speak to the Undergraduate director about your chances, what you would have to do if not directly admitted, etc. My son was admitted to Umass but not directly into the SM program as a Freshman. He called and spoke with people and made sure they knew of his interest throughout his Freshman year (he also met the 3.5+ GPA in the required courses). You might have to spend extra time in Umass creating the same goodwill meaning an extra semester or two and as an OOS (we are too) that might become costly. Call and be frank with them-it will either work or not and then at least you can set your sights on Amherst or move on to another great SM program. Good luck.
