<p>I have gotten so many mixed responses for my chances of getting into UMD, everything from "you're in" to "there is no way" so I was hoping people in this thread would know better. I am Senior in High School. I really messed up my GPA in 10th grade (because of stupid decisions and some family issues) but I still want to go to a good University, so I have worked really high to bring my GPA up as much as possible.</p>

<ul>
<li><p>I am white, from a middle class family. </p></li>
<li><p>I went to regular public school in Maryland (In one of the best Counties in the US)</p></li>
<li><p>I did about 120 hours of public service.</p></li>
<li><p>I know my teacher recommendations are going to be very good. One of them is from my AP Programming teacher (she went to UMD if that matters) and I know it is going to be amazing. I have talked to her about how I messed up in 10th Grade and she said she would make it really good. The other is from my AP World teacher and I was the top student in his class and he thinks very highly of me so it should also be good.</p></li>
<li><p>My counselor recommendation is also going to be pretty good because she has helped me out a lot and she knows how eager I am to get into UMD.</p></li>
<li><p>In my essays I explained my situation and talked about how much I have changed. I had it checked with multiple people. They are very good in my opinion.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Please give the realistic answer because I want to know the truth of my chances. If anyone of you could also give me any advice or somehow help me that would be amazing. Thanks.</p>
