Chances for UMD! :)

<p>Hey! I applied to University of Maryland- College Park for Fall 2010 and I was wondering what you guys thought my chances of acceptance are? I have a 3.45 Weighted GPA and took several AP courses and participate in tons of extracurricular activities. I also got a 1790 on my SAT. I've already gotten into Penn State- University Park. Also, neither are in-state for me if that makes a difference.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>A lot of public universities are having budget problems so being out of state might help you. I think its a reach.</p>

<p>Ok, thank you! Any other input?</p>

<p>I’m surprised u didn’t get notification yet. Almost everyone got a decsision letter about 3 weeks ago. I guess u applied for regular decision. </p>

<p>Anyway honestly u have almost no chance of getting in considering your fairly low gpa and sat score. I got rejected and I have a 3.75 weighted gpa and 1980 sat score. I didn’t even get deferred to second semester. Just flat out rejected. </p>

<p>But the thing is I live in state and a lot of colleges especially umd are going for more out of staters so it might be a bit easier for u. Even with this I still think your chances are pretty low because umd really looks for high grades and sat scores. That’s their main admissions factor. I heard they basically don’t look at the rest of your app if your gpa is less than 3.5 unweighted. </p>

<p>The only realistic way u could get in is if you’re spanish. </p>

<p>Good luck though!</p>

<p>Thank you!! And yeah I applied regular decision.</p>
