My public high school (Eleanor Roosevelt) is known for sending many students to UMD, and we have a good relationship. Hopefully this will increase my chances. Also, my high school requires us to do a Research Practicum, which is basically a science project that involves lab experience with mentors and things and we have to submit it to an international science fair thing.</p>

<p>The only thing holding you back is that SAT… Try for that 2000 and if you don’t get it then I’d have a go with the ACT (so people are better at it). Other than that you are hard working, involved, and a minority; all which a positives. I’d say yes. Good luck and don’t slack off ;)</p>

<p>I think you have a solid chance. I don’t think you’ll need a 2000 SAT. If you could bump it up into the 1900’s, you’ll be good.</p>
