<p>Love your ECs, college courses, and GPA, but the SAT is at the top of the bottom quartile.</p>

<p>Does the GPA include the college courses? If not, what grades did you get in the college courses?</p>

<p>My SAT isn’t good :confused: In Tennessee we are usually told not to take it, so I barely studied. My ACT is better, but I believe UMD looks at SAT. </p>

<p>My dual enrollment classes are not weighted which sucks. I have all As in them. </p>

<p>Do you know if getting into environmental science and policy is difficult?</p>

<p>UMD does list the ACTs of enrolled freshmen on this webpage: </p>

<p>[Office</a> of Undergraduate Admissions · University of Maryland » Freshman Profile](<a href=“http://www.admissions.umd.edu/counselor/FreshmanProfile.php]Office”>http://www.admissions.umd.edu/counselor/FreshmanProfile.php)</p>

<p>You’ll see there that the middle 50 is 28-32, so your 29 would stand you well. I assume tho that you sent in the SAT. Oh, well, can’t change that now.</p>

<p>What’s really going to help is the transcript that says that you have As in those 4-yr college courses, some of them pretty tough classes like Stats.</p>

<p>So you’re probably better than even money. My S’s gf who graduated last year says that “policy” is NOT an LEP, a limited enrollment program.</p>

<p>Thanks! I sent in both my SAT and ACT. </p>

<p>Based on my stats would you say I have a 50/50 chance of getting in?</p>

<p>better than even money means better than 50-50.</p>
