I’m literally so bad at chancing (since i have no clue what UMD will be looking for), but, for some other college recs, are you already considering applying to any of the UCs (University of California system)?? I might be biased, since I’m from CA, but we ARE known for having some of the best public universities in the nation, so they’re worth checking out. Also, a lot of people say the University of Washington is worth applying to and, if you’re looking for a reach school, maybe Johns Hopkins?
