Chances of getting into UMBC...

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Here's the breakdown. I'm a junior with decent grades and am extremely anxious about applying to college/upcoming SATs and I'd like to know what my chances are of getting into UMBC. I'd like to major in Computer Science and or Physics/Engineering. Here is some info about my standing:</p>

<p>3.54 Unweighted (was really lazy in middle school when I began taking high school classes :\ )<br>
4.2 weighted
1820 on practice SAT (highest so far but improving)</p>

<p>264 SSL Hours
Many AP Classes (AP NSL, AP US HISTORY, AP PHYSICS C, AP CALCULUS BC, AP LANG) and others to come as well as Multivariable calculus as a CI course</p>

<p>Tons of ECs like:
Varsity Tennis 4 yrs.
Vice President of Tech Club
National Honor Society member
National Spanish Honor Society member
STEM Club ambassador
Junior Varsity Track team 1 yr.
It's Academic Club for 4yrs.
Math team 2yrs</p>

<p>So, just give it to me straight. I am working as hard as I possibly can to get straight As for both semesters of my junior yr so that I can raise my cumulative gpa, but will that be good enough for UMBC? How about UMCP? And about how much will my cumulative gpa go up by if I get straight As both semesters of my junior yr?</p>

<p>Thank you</p>

<p>Don’t trust the number.
Basically by looking at your work, your GPA could do a little work. If you get 4.0 both semesters then you’re probably looking at 3.7 around there.
Make sure you get amazing recommendations and write amazing essays.
If you are a science/math major (physics at UMBC is excellent) then UMBC is for you.
If you are engineering, CP is a little better than UMBC.</p>
