READ ME PLEASE >>>>>Tr= Transfer. Any class highlited with * means it’s a quarter class<<<<<
Hi everyone this is my first post, I’d like to know if I could get into the 2 colleges that I mentioned above, so here’s my situation:
I’m an upcoming senior in Carroll County, MD. I moved from Spain before I started my sophomore year in the U.S and I’d like to say that my English is pretty good.
Grades:
-Freshman year (in Spain I had worse grades than in the U.S, I went to a competitive school and we had 11 classes that weren’t separated into semesters like here, you’ll notice the difference in difficulty when you see my spanish and my american grades):
Tr Bio 1= B Tr World Geography= A Tr Physical Education= B Tr Art= C Tr Conceptual Physics= B
Tr Social Studies= A Tr English 9= A Tr Spanish 2= B Tr Conc Algebra= A Tr German 1= B Tr Foundations of Tech= C
-Sophomore year (when I came to the U.S, first semester was a bit hard bc I didn’t know much English)
English 10= B Government= A Hon Bio 1= A Chem 2= A
Hon Geo= A Team Sports= A Health 1= B Hon Spanish 3= A Hon Algebra 1= A
-Junior Year
AP Physics 1= A AP Chem= A Hon Spanish 4= A AP Spanish Lang= A
Hon English 11= A Hon Trig= A Hon Algebra 2= A Hon US History= A
And this is my schedule for next year:
AP Calc AB and BC, AP World, AP Stat, AP Lang, Financial Literacy, Hon Earth and Space science, AP Environmental Science, Honors Science Research 1.
Sat scores (New format): 1380. Math= 740. Reading= 32. Writing= 32. Which translates into a 640 in the English section. (Currently waiting for the last SAT that I took, from which the scores will be released on 7/21/16).
Weighted GPA: Counting the transfer GPA 3.8571, without counting it around 4.35.
Unweighted GPA: 3.5893, without counting the transfer GPA around 3.9.
I’m taking the TOEFL on August 2nd, but there is no doubt that I’ll get a good score on it.
Extracurriculars:
3 years in Spanish club (one year as Secretary and next year as VP)
2 years in Mu Alpha Theta (max number of years) (also known as Math NHS)
2 years NHS (max number of years)
2 years in Science HS (max number of years) (Basically a science club with relatively high standards, Secretary next year0
JV Soccer: Sophomore year
Varsity Soccer: Junior (and working on senior year)
3 Week internship at a multinational Engineering company called Knorr-Brake in Westminster, MD. This internship is usually available only to Sophomores and Juniors in college so I think it looks good in my curriculum.
Around 60 hours of peer tutoring in Math and Spanish
I want to study electrical engineering but I think my transcript from Spain screwed me up a little bit to get directly in the Clark School of Engineering. I’d rather go Undecided in UMD than UMBC, money is not a problem. I’m currently a U.S permanent resident (I have a Green Card) and I’ll apply as Hispanic/Spanish Origin during early action (deadline Novemeber 1st).
I guess this is everything you guys need to know, any idea if I have a chance to get into UMD or UMBC?.
To anyone who has read the whole post
Thank you for your time and have an amazing day!
