As I await UMD's decision, I've become a nervous wreck! Honest chances of admission?

<p>So I applied to UMD before the November 9th deadline. I'm a nervous wreck because when I submitted my application, I was forced to use my March SAT scores. When I took the SAT over again in November, my score improved, but since the results came back after UMD's deadline, I don't think that they will consider it. My stats are excellent with the exception of the SAT scores:</p>

<p>...So do you think I actually have a chance of getting accepted here? Please give me your honest opinions!</p>

<p>P.S. Also, I applied as an Economics major. Probably a bad decision since Maryland has a strong economics program</p>

<p>Your SAT score might be the factor that will bring you down. UMD is seriously picky about it and yours is, like you mentioned, lower than the national average (UMD average is around 1350/1600). I am not one to say whether you will make it in or not but it will be pretty tough. Be optimistic though.</p>
