<p>i believe that UMDCP is a pretty high reach for me but please give me a quick opinion on what you think my chances are!
applying for biology
GPA (Weighted): 3.55 (very low...i know but it was mostly because of a C i got during freshman year during a chinese course)hopefully they take the time to look at the gpa of my science courses!!
SAT: 2110/2400 superscore. 1420/1600 (760/m and 660/CR)
690 Bio SAT 2
720 math level 2
taking/took 5 APs. AP STAT, english lang, bio, english lit, econ
(4s on my AP stat and lang) and took a lot of honors courses
I got all As on my bio course during freshman year and sent in a 90 quarter grade for AP bio(since im taking it senior year) i got a 92 on my midterm but they wont be seeing that in time :/
solid ECs, nothing super eye catching though
PSAT national merit semifinalist (216)
and im out of state (PA) which i know doesnt help ):</p>
<p>do you think ill at least get a spring admit?</p>
<p>you can get in ANYWHERE you want with those SAT scores</p>
<p>namesss,
thanks for saying that…i wish it were true but unfortunately its not, my GPA drags me down a lot</p>
<p>wow. great sat scores but red flag on gpa. </p>
<p>not really sure on your chances; and certainly not qualified to give an opinion. for all the folks who ask for chances i think a large part of the process is the quality of the application which no one on this board knows. were your essays and short answers well written/proofed - perfect? it seems to me there are a lot of folks ‘on the fence’ with a red flag or two - and my personal opinion is the quality of the application will matter for the fence sitters. i know my son’s red flag is his sat scores; but for him everything else good - GPA/RANK/ACTIVITIES/LEADERSHIP/APs/Recos etc but we worry as well due the SAT. But, he can rest assured the application itself was exceptional and tried/true several proof reads - so it’s in the hands of Testudo.</p>
<p>national merit seimfinalist is impressive - but 3.55 weighted with that raises questions. I wish i could i provide educated opinion but really can not. unfortunately, that’s where we all are i think. good luck.</p>
<p>accepted!! to scholars too!</p>
