So I am a HS Senior who really wants to major in CS and CE for college. UMD is one of my top choices, as its in-state and has great STEM programs. My low GPA and SAT, however, are messing with me and making me worry way too much. If it matters, my school is #3 in the state and sends around 60 kids to UMD annually.
Stats:
1350 SAT, 700 reading 650 Math
GPA -3.08
QPA - 4.68 / 6
Ranked 71/267
9 AP classes (I put way too much pressure on myself)
ECs:
Boy Scouts - Life Scout
Robotics team captain
summer camp STEM instructor
Cyberpatriot (Cybersecurity Competition) team captain
Paid intern for school system’s tech support
Unpaid intern for high school’s I.T department
First Chair of school orchestra
Studied abroad for school system exchange program
Worked a few normal min. wage jobs
Awards:
Not sure if this counts, but I am Cisco Certified (CCENT)
My english teachers said that my essay was one of the best they ever read, and I am a URM.
Any input is appreciated. Thanks!
