<p>When assuming a 100 point bump to CR/Math I would feel quite confident. Your weighted GPA is very good, and your UW is pretty good too, which should grant you admission when combined with an SAT score within range.</p>

<p>The current SAT score of 1170 is almost 100 points below the 25% tile admitted student in this past years class. At this current point I would say your WGPA earns you Spring admission, but knowing UMD’s strong emphasis on test scores when evaluating an applicant I would say you would have a hard time being admitted in the fall with an SAT score that far below the range. </p>

<p>I know you will raise those scores though :)</p>

<p>Hopefully your score will go up on the next SAT. That will seal the deal. Is it too late to take the ACT?</p>

<p>yes i have taken the act once and didn’t score that great (25). I do not plan on submitting this score or retaking act.</p>
