Admission for University of Massachusetts Amherst is competitive. The most important criteria is the high school academic record (quality and level of the classes, average GPA, and grade trends) and SAT-I (average of 1140) or ACT tests. The committee also considers the personal statement, talents, work experience, letters of recommendation, and extracurricular activities. Generally, the average GPA of accepted students was of 3.3 on a 4.0 scale, and if this criterion is not met SAT-I or ACT results “kick in” to make up for it. Students must also complete the college preparatory work of 4 years of English, 3 years of Mathematics, 3 years of Natural Science, 3 years of Social Science, 2 years of Foreign Language, and 3 electives, with a C or better. International students must take the TOEFL and get a minimum score of 550 or better (213 or better on the computer-based TOEFL).
