<p>Hi! I'm from Maryland, I come from a public school that isn't in any way out of the ordinary. I'm a junior in high school and have the following statistics:
GPA: 3.32(3.82 weighted). My freshman year was not good at all(3.0), but I've been making 3.625 and 3.75 semester averages my sophomore year, and 3.625 for the first semester of my junior year. If I maintain 3.7's for the rest of my high school career, I will finish with 3.48. As my weighted GPA suggests, all of my academic classes are honors, and I am taking AP Language and Composition now, and AP Statistics, AP Psychology, and maybe AP Physics next year.
PSAT scores: My sophomore year I scored a 1540. 600 math, 500 writing, 440 reading. Earlier this fall I scored an 1850 on the PSAT. 700 math, 620 writing, 530 reading. I like math and I'm good at it; I want to be a math teacher when I grow up. I have a great vocabulary, but I have bad reading comprehension abilities thanks to my learning disability, high-functioning autism. My goals for the SAT are 720 math, 650 writing, 550 reading.
Extracurriculars: I run cross country; varsity all three years and preparing for a fourth.
I'm part of a comedy club at my school, writing and performing scripted comedy.
I play the French horn in concert band and mellophone in marching band. I plan on being a drum major for the marching band this year. I'm an asset for the band as a whole.
Other: I am in Boy Scouts, and on track to become and Eagle Scout, a rank only obtained by 2% of scouts in America.</p>
<p>I want to go the the University of Maryland-College Park. It's in state. Do I have a shot? Any advice for me?</p>
