<p>You should be fine. Right now the problem IS students will find is that their competition will become more competitive. Many people will opt for UMD over taking loans OS, but you look very very strong.</p>

<p>They do not put weight into the W of the SAT since they have their essays. I am betting in a few yrs that the W SAT will be gone, due to the fact that colleges are not placing value on it.</p>
