<p>based on what I know about College Park (I'm an MD resident and am applying to UMCP this year), I'd say if you can get your SAT Reading up about 100-150 points you'd be in- otherwise everything else looks pretty good</p>

<p>Raising 100-150 points verbal.. very tough, but i will try this December! Thanks Mirabeau</p>

<p>multi-racial OOS from NC.
i had an 1820 on my sat 1. 4.2 weighted gpa, top 20% of class.
not nearly as many clubs/sports/academic awards as you though!
and i got in for spring 2008 semester.</p>

<p>hope this helps, and best of luck.</p>

<p>good point, sja! UMDCP uses a lot of january acceptances.</p>

<p>sjacobsen, did u apply as undecided?? (congratulation!)</p>

<p>this is an average applicant to UMD. You have a 40-50% chance. Your OOS and SAT might hurt you.</p>

11
