Admissions Tip Waiting Out a Wait List Being placed on a wait-list can be particularly frustrating, but don't despair. You still have a chance of getting into your target school—you just have to be pro-active. But why did they wait-list you in the first place? Being wait-listed usually means that you've already qualified academically for the college, but that there are other factors in play. Your extracurricular activities might be weak or the school might have had a tremendous amount of equally qualified students. The good news is that you haven't been rejected. The bad news? Well, you're not quite in yet. Learn more about how to deal with being wait-listed.   Back to Top SAT/ACT Tips Critical Reading Some people find Critical Reading passages dull or intimidating. While there is no way to jazz up a dry passage, you can try to turn Critical Reading into a game. Each passage is written for a purpose: The author wants to make a point, describe a situation, or convince you of his or her ideas. Sometimes, the short introduction to the passage will tell you what the purpose is and sometimes you must figure it out for yourself. Recognize that each paragraph in a Critical Reading passage is composed of a big idea and supporting details. As you read, you should always ask yourself, "What is the big idea of this paragraph? What are the details? How do the paragraphs in a passage work together?" Reading while asking these kinds of questions is called "active reading." It means reading lightly, but with focus.   Back to Top Upcoming Test Dates SAT Exam Date Registration Deadline Late Registration Period May 5, 2007 April 3, 2007 April 3-11, 2007 June 2, 2007 Apr. 27, 2007 April 27-May 9, 2007 October 6, 2007 September 10, 2007 September 10-14, 2007 ACT Exam Date Registration Deadline Late Registration Period April 14, 2007 March 9, 2007 March 10-23, 2007 June 9, 2007 May 4, 2007 May 5-18, 2007 September 15, 2007^^ August 10, 2007 August 11�24, 2007 ^^The September 15, 2007, test date is available only in Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and West Virginia.   Back to Top peccadillo (n.) minor sin or offense Gabriel tends to harp on his brother's peccadilloes and never lets him live them down.   Back to Top Campus Visit University of Massachusetts—Amherst Location: Amherst, MA Website: http://www.umass.edu U.S. News Rank: 98 (National Universities) Fall 2007 Admissions Application deadline: January 15 Application fee: $40 Expenses Tuition and Fees: $9,595 in-state, $17,818 out-of-state Room and Board: $6,989 UMass has around 18,000 students, but don't let the big numbers fool you. The average student-to-faculty ratio is 19:1, and 70 percent of classes (including labs and discussions) have fewer than 30 students. Of course, introductory lectures can be huge, but classes grow much smaller as students progress in their majors. According to guidance counselors, UMass has "raised the bar" in recent years, making admissions "very competitive." The University has nine individual colleges (education; engineering; food and natural resources; humanities and fine arts; management; nursing; natural sciences and mathematics; and social and behavioral sciences), which collectively offer more than 90 undergraduate programs. Because UMass is part of the Five Colleges, you can take courses for credit at Amherst, Hampshire, Mount Holyoke, and Smith without paying additional tuition or fees. Naturally, this huge university is located on a huge campus. The 41 residence halls are divided into five areas, each with its own ambience. Students are required to live on campus for their first two years. The university claims that approximately 80 percent of freshmen are placed in their first or second choice of residence hall.   Back to Top What's New at Kaptest.com Save up to $100 on PSAT, SAT, or SAT Prep!
