<p>Hey hey, I was wondering if y'all could chance me for admission to UMD.I'm interested in polisci, and UMD obviously would be a good choice due to its proximity to DC and its strong programs. Here are my stats and whatnot: </p>

Rank: School doesn't rank
SAT: 670 CR; 560 M; 620 W; 11 Essay (Taking again on October 1st, very likely to go up)
ACT: Took in September, probably didn't do well enough to send in.
EC's- Amnesty International - 3 years - president for 2
Environment club- 1 year
Politics Club- 1 year - president/founder
Some community service here and there
Rec's- US history H/Ap Gov & Politics teacher; Adviser for Amnesty International Club

<p>If your SAT scores stay the same (UMD looks at CR and M), your scores are on the low end, especially if you are coming from NJ…there are so many applicants from NJ, the competition is pretty tough. That, plus your weighted GPA of 3.7 (what is the unweighted GPA?) will put UMD as a reach school for you, I believe. You never know until you try, tho, right?</p>

<p>I say borderline admit. It could go either way. I would try if I were you for sure. You never know.</p>
