This was not at UMass, it was at one of the other state universities.
I don't believe it applies to UMass, which is harder to get into, especially Amherst.
I edited my post to reflect that.
If UMass Amherst, Lowell & Boston don't have what he wants I don't think the smaller schools will. They really need a better website. My oldest is at a SUNY school-they have a great site where you search by major and it tells you which SUNY schools have that major. I couldn't find anything like that for MA schools. He wants Aerospace or Aeronautical Engineering. UMaine, or if he applied to UMass, he would have to go with Mechanical Engineering. His top 3 right now are FL Tech, Embry-Riddle in Daytona and Clarkson U in upstate NY. His GPA & SAT scores are all matches for the 3 schools but his verbal SAT is much higher than his math. When he went to FL Tech they said they like to see kids with high verbal scores because it means you can read and comprehend and thus learn. Hopefully that works in his favor.
