Honestly, I’d say you have a very solid chance in both of these universities.

Looking at that profile, I’d say you’ve already secured your spot at the University of Arizona. You’re above their averages in everything from GPA to ACT to course load to ECs.

However, I do have to ask you; what’s your Weighted GPA?

Your UW GPA is more than great; a 3.97 is practically perfect for these institutions. However, when it comes to the University of Maryland, they have a weighted GPA average of about 4.11. You fit their standards in every way possible, but it’s harder than the University of Arizona.

Don’t get me wrong, though. I’d say your chances for the University of Maryland are north of 50% acceptance as well.

Best of luck!
