<p>You're in Maryland (especially if instate, but probably even if not.) I don't know about Honors, but probably that, too. At least, your stats are close enough to mine that I hope you get honors. ;)</p>

3

<p>I should clarify that MA is Massachusetts. Unfortunately, I am not In-State.</p>

<p>Knowing that I am out-of-state, do you still think that I will be accepted into the University of Maryland?</p>

4

<p>Sorry, I missed that (I know that MA is Massachusetts, lol.)</p>

<p>Anyway, yeah, I still think you're in.</p>

5

<p>okay - you had ME wondering if you needed a psych examination - anyway - most recent stats on their website at <a href="http://www.oirp.umd.edu/publicProfiles/sat_scores.cfm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.oirp.umd.edu/publicProfiles/sat_scores.cfm&lt;/a>
unless you were an axe murderer in your sophomore year, looks like you're in to me</p>

<p>GGT, do you know if the average GPA Maryland posts is weighted or unweighted?</p>

7

<p>I'm sure they use weighted as reported by your school - so I would imagine their OIRP reporting is weighted</p>

8

<p>its definitely weighted. </p>

<p>There was a big fuss last year about how maryland was bragging about how heigh their incoming GPA was without mentioning that what they were issuing to the media / public was really a WEIGHTED GPA, whereas most schools release their unweighted.</p>
