<p>First UMD does not accept based on need.</p>

<p>If Dad is an alum to UMD you will get pts, your SAT is great, but a 3.6 W for an OOS is low. Legacy is a hook, but for OOS in a popular area or even IS it is not what the acceptance will be about.</p>

<p>What you need to delve further into is the program they applied for, if it is engineering, business, Scholars, Honors, gemstone it would explain no 1 &2, but not 3 & 4. 3 & 4 could have been applying for liberal arts (i.e. music, theatre) and that would explain their acceptance. 5 could have been asking for general, and that is definetely 2 low. #5 is realistically 2 low unless, they moved here from another country when they were @12, and Eng is a 2nd language, they would also need incredible ECs.</p>
