<p>You will not get into UMCP for fall with those stats. UMBC and Washington will be fine.
The only people to get into UMCP at my dd high school were the IB students that were in the top 5% of the class. Of course the top 5% of the school was made up entirely by the IB students and not AP students.</p>

<p>Also, if you can get a 1300 plus CR + M SAT you would have a much better chance for UMCP.</p>
