“If you are in-state this is one question thatApr 08 2004English
If you are in-state this is one question that will determine whether or not you will be accepted: do you have a pulse? If you answered yes, then congradulations...you've been accepted to Hell on earth.

Honestly, If you are in state and have a 3.0 and an 1100 on you're SATs, then you're in, easily.

If you are out of state, then if you have a 3.2 and a 1200 you can easily get in.

I had a 1410 on my SATs and a 3.7 unweighted GPA (a 4.15 weighted) and wrote a killer essay.

The best thing to do is this: don't apply, this school isn't worth the application fee.
SAT: 1410 Male

“I used the Community College routeDec 05 2003Business - Management and Administration
I used the Community College route. There is a compact with Universities in Mass to allow graduating Community College students into any public 4 yr school. With a high eonugh GPA you are allowed directly into the major of your choice. The community colleges (I went to Greenfield Community College) are a good way to prepare for the University. There is a support system at the CC that is available, at the University you will have to create your own.
SAT: 1135 Female
