Some other things that I probable forgot about…

Essay- I used to have a conditions with my knees that prevented me from walking but I overcame it through physical therapy so I could begin dancing and running ( Its a real tear jerker)

What are my chances? My UW GPA is low but I hope my weighted, EC and essay make up for it.

Your ECs seem pretty good but your GPA is super low. UMD mainly accepts based on GPA/SAT.

I heard they use weighted rather than unweighted thought

They do like looking at weighted but they also see unweighted

3.4 WGPA and 1430/1600 SAT, (720M & 710CR)
Theater, Sports, Lotsa EC’s

Chances?

Has anybody heard anything?

^ We won’t find out anything until February 1st probably. At the earliest if we’re lucky a couple days before but we’ve got a good while to go before we hear back

abrxlll, that is a silly assumption, classes start on january 22nd. Spring normal decision should be coming out soon. they wouldnt release them after classes start. See what im saying?

yes, but i believe this person is asking about fall 2017 and not spring 2017. i’m making this assumptions based on their information but i could be wrong. that’s the only reason i said that.

Can someone please chance me!! :slight_smile:
