<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>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>
