Chance for Clark Engineering?

<p>I came to U.S. in 7th grade, and I really want to do engineering at college park. From what I've seen, UMD engineering is harder to get in than other non LEP programs.</p>

<p>Desired Major: Aerospace engineering/Mechanical engineering (I can't decide yet because I love both of them from what I see. I haven't actually had the chance to be exposed to them yet.) in Fall 2014</p>

<p>Ethnicity: Male Asian (T.T worse ever?) In-State applicant</p>

<p>Have brother already admitted in Clark engineering (EE, Class of 2016)</p>

<p>GPA: 3.79 / 4.0
WGPA 4.6 / 5.0 (Honors and APs both 5 if A, regular 4. 89.5-100% A etc.)</p>

<p>GPA increases every year, middle school being worse (3.5), junior year perfect gpa ( Un-weighted 4.0, weighted 5.0 )</p>

<p>SAT: 1400/1600
Math 770, Reading 630
I will retake in October ( aiming for 1500 ). </p>

<p>ACT: 31
E: 32
M: 34
R: 21 (my weakness at its best)
S: 36 ( ^_^ )
W: 10</p>

<p>P.S. Does CP look at all sections for ACT? </p>

<p>Pretty good recommendations (AP Biology and AP Economics teachers) </p>

<p>Course:
All honors except required courses (PE, Tech etc)</p>

<p>8 AP exams, 6 AP classes by Junior year. </p>

<p>2012:
AP U.S Govt and Pol: 5
AP Chemistry: 5</p>

<p>2013
AP Biology: 5
AP Chinese: 5 (self studied)
AP Calculus BC: 5
AP Microeconomics: 5
AP Macroeconomics: 5
AP World History: 3</p>

<p>2013-2014 school year (senior year)
AP physics C Mechanics
AP Physics C E&M
AP Lang
AP human Geo
AP U.S History
Multivariable Calculus/Diff Equation
Chinese 5</p>

<p>Total: at least 13 AP exams (will study more), 12 AP classes, MVC.</p>

<p>Some standard Ecs like vice president of clubs (rubik's cube, Info-tech, table tennis) and volunteering (150 hours T_T ) . Not a lot, but not little either. </p>

<p>Thanks yo</p>

<p>I can’t answer your ACT question but I’m in engineering and I know a lot of people in the school who had lower stats in high school. If you applied to UMD as an engineering major, I’d be surprised if you were not put in Clark (though I have been surprised before by some decisions.)</p>

<p>Pretty good stats. You’ll probably get in. I would advise you though NOT to send in your ACT score because your ACT reading is pretty low. I wouldn’t say it is necessary to retake the SAT, unless your aiming for scholarships.</p>
