<p>apply by dec. 1st, it’s the priority deadline.</p>

<p>you have an okay chance of getting in, as far as I can see–your GPA’s a tad below, your act’s low, but your ECs are great. if there’s any chance of raising up that act score, then do it–if not, apply anyway, just make sure your essays are very good! Good luck!</p>

<p>Just a question, is it that much harder for oos applicants compared to in state? I know at some of the bigger publics such as UVA or the UC’s it’s extremely hard for oos students but how does Maryland match up?</p>

<p>Get close to 1300+ on SAT (M and CR), and you should have a decent chance if you apply early. As of right now, I see you waitlisted for September and admitted for the January semester.</p>
