<p>I'm an IN-STATE Senior applying priority deadline</p>

<p>GPA: 89 (To be honest I'm not sure if this is weighted or not, it seems to me it is probably unweighted -- I Have requested an appointment with my guidance counselor to discuss what my GPA is on a 4 point scale weighted + unweighted)</p>

<p>SAT: 1930
M: 680
CR: 630
W: 620</p>

<p>Classes Taken:
English 9-10-11
Hon Bio

<p>This year:
AP Calculus AB
AP Physics C Mechanics
Honors English 12

Photography (need a fine art credit)
Gym(need one of those too)
Naval Science 4</p>

<p>Extra Curricular Activities:
4 years JRTOC(Drill team, Athletic team, Orienteering team, Academic team, Color Guard). Commanding Officer (top dawg) this year.</p>

<p>Last year me and a team of 2 others won 1st in Network Design at the State Leadership Conference for FBLA</p>

<p>Physics and Engineering team this year</p>

<p>2 bloody brilliant essays if I do say so myself, and my letter of recommendation from the teacher should be brilliant. He has a reputation at UMD from their Physics and Engineering competitions Northern competes in and has won at. I don't know about my counselor letter, she is actually new to the school this year. Shouldn't have anythign bad to say yet, no disciplinary action.</p>

<p>I want to major in Aerospace Engineering. If it makes a difference, my school, Northern High School, is a top 25 feeder school to the Clark School of Engineering.</p>

<p>Probably the most important single factor in getting accepted as an Aerospace Engineering major is your SAT math score. UMD would probably like to see a 700 or higher but 680 may be close enough in light of your other strong credentials.</p>

<p>Thank you for the reply!</p>

<p>Yeah I was really disappointed in my SAT math score, I though I would get at least 720.</p>

<p>I spoke to my guidance counselor today and discovered that my GPA is 3.5 weighted. Also kind of weak.</p>

<p>Not feeling too confident right now lol</p>

<p>well UMD only looks at reading and math scores, yours look solid and you are in state so i dont think you should have a problem getting in</p>

5

<p>Thank you! Did you mean into the University or into Aerospace engineering?</p>

6

<p>i meant into the university, not sure about the creditability needed to get into the engineering program, but even so if you get in you can transfer into the program.</p>

7

<p>I’m just hoping I can get straight into it.</p>

<p>Thank you. :)</p>

8

<p>I think you have a shot! And UMD to be honest is a pretty easy transfer if your heart is set on going there.</p>

9

<p>Thank you. :)</p>

<p>I’m not sure that my heart is set on UMD, but money is an issue, so in-state schools are probably my only option since I don’t think I will be awarded a lot of scholarship money. And it is rated highly in Aerospace engineering, so that’s always a plus.</p>

<p>I guess all I can do now is wait 'til late January…</p>
