<p>i think the SAT is too low, especially for an out of state student. The average GPA is a 3.9 and the SAT median is somewhere in the 1200s. The EC's are great. Work on pulling the SAT up and try to do well for this semester! I hope this helps!</p>

<p>I think your GPA is too low for OOS. For OOS, you need to have a strong B+/ A- average (87-92, 3.4-3.7+). If your GPA was a 3.7 and you had those SATs, I'd say you have a good shot. You need to have one average stat tho, so I'm not sure how good your chances are.</p>

<p>I agree with both opinions, but you still have a lot of time. UMD superscores the SAT so keep taking it. Also get the gpa this spring and you can pull it off. You might also have a fighting chance if you are looking into a liberal arts program.</p>
