<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>
