Chances @ UMD!

[El_Cuerpo]

<p>I'm an up and coming Hispanic Senior from Connecticut. What are my chances of being accepted at University of Maryland? </p>

<p>GPA:
3.1 / 4.0 (unweighted)
3.47 / 4.5 (weighted)</p>

<p>SAT: 1930/2400, 1250/1600</p>

<p>CR: 610
M: 640
W: 680
Essay: 12</p>

<p>ACT: 28 composite</p>

<p>Eng: 32
Math: 27
Read: 26
Sci: 26
Essay: 10</p>

<p>SAT II/ AP:
650 on SAT II Biology, 3 on AP Biology (boooo)</p>

<p>EC's:
3 years Varsity Cross Country, Indoor Track, Outdoor Track
Co-Captian in Cross Country
All County in Cross Country and Track
Part time job at a Grocery Store/Deli
4 Years of Guitar Lessons</p>

<p>I'm looking to major in Nutritional Sciences and possibly minior in Exercise Sciences. All of my classes are either Honors or regular college prep style. I've taken 2 AP classes as of my Junior year, but I'm taking 3 AP's my Senior Year. I'm also doing electives that are specific to my intended major. I'm aware that my GPA is a little weak, but I'm definitley working on it.</p>

<p>Running is definitely my biggest Extracurricular. Our Cross Country Team has a good shot at being #1 in the Nation this year, and I'm sure it would look good to be part of a national championship team. I'm a consistant varsity athlete, and I'm definitley going to join the Cross Country and Track teams in College.</p>

<p>That having been said, what are my chances at Maryland? Thanks.</p>

<p>if you want a scholarship, stay Hispanic and get a higher sat score ;) affirmative action sure helps you!</p>

<p>being hispanic isn't the only thing that gets you in either. but didn't you already post one of these. try to get your SATs up or your ACT. and when it comes to applying focus on your essay. i'm sure you will do fine.</p>
