Chances at UMD and UMBC

I wanted to know what my chances are at UMD. I go to a below average high school in PG county where people with SAT scores of 1500 and 3.4 Gpa have gotten in.

I have a 1810 superscore in SAT and 28 in ACT. My gpa is kinda low - 3.58. I don’t know if it’s weighted or not. I take pretty rigorous courses. 7 APs. I wanted to go into BioE but now I’m wondering if I should just do Bio if it’s easier to get into

Any feedback helps!!!

Both UMDCP and UMBC only consider Math and Critical Reading, not Writing, but ACT 28 might be good for both

Biology and engineering are both limited enrollment programs, which means they are a little harder than other majors to be accepted into. Apply for the one you are most interested in, and it’s possible to get into CP, but not into the limited enrollment program. Good luck
