I want to major in criminology and criminal justice.
Also, what chance do I have for the honors program? (I know my SAT scores are low, but they should come up.)</p>
<p>I think you have a good shot.</p>
<p>I think you will get in. I believe Criminology is an LEP, but I don’t think you will have a problem. You might have a shot at Honors, especially if your SAT’s go up. Good luck!</p>
<p>Thank You! I just got my SAT scores back. I now have a 700 in critical reading, but still a 610 in math. All together I have a 1310.</p>
<p>I think you’ll get in, and with your community service and other interests, will probably be invited to the Scholars program. Maybe some merit aid w/ your GPA, but it’s hard to tell. It won’t put much of a dent in the OOS tuition, however, and unfortunately UMD isn’t overly generous with need-based aid. Just as long as you know that going in…</p>
