What should I do in order to get on track for the University of Maryland?
@angelinacacioppo - That’s a pretty opened ended question. For starters compare yourself to last year’s freshman profile

Then, try to get an essay written over the summer, along with a resume and list of ECs.(that will be a good start for all of your applications)
Are you in-state or out? Is it affordable?
Finally, make sure you apply EA - November 1 deadline.
Good Luck
