<p>Hello everyone, </p>
<p>I am a prospective student hoping to attend a 4 year University. However, the school I attend is very small with a graduating class of only 100+. Accelerated, honors, and AP classes are very limited as well. With this being said though, I have taken the hardest courses possible. </p>
<p>I am currently in the top ten percent of my class with a 95.79, or 3.83 GPA unweighted. These are the classes I have taken or am currently enrolled in: </p>
<p>English I, II, III honors
AP Literature and Composition
Calculus
CP Biology
CP Chemistry
Anatomy and Physiology
CP Physics
CP World History and CP US History I
US History II Honors
Sociology & Genocidal Studies
French I, II, III, IV
Spanish II, III
AP Spanish
Personal Finance & Computer Applications
Computer Literacy & Applications </p>
<p>At my school, I have won an award for "Excellence in Foreign Language." I have been awarded a certificate by the American Chemistry Society for having the highest GPA in the Chemistry course offered at my school. I am also acknowledged as the best writer at my school which has been included in my recommendation letters. </p>
<p>I have and/or currently participate in: </p>
<p>Cross Country- 10,11, 12 (On Varsity all three years)
Track & Field- 10,11, 12 (On Varsity Squad)
Church Youth Group
Police Explorers- 12 </p>
<p>Work Experience: </p>
<p>Landscaper for Jay's Landscaping- 11, 12
Cashier/Store Associate for Party City- 12 </p>
<p>Intern Experience:</p>
<p>Virtual Journalist Intern for Online Webzine - 11</p>
<p>Volunteer Experience:</p>
<p>Student Mentor- 12
Restore Volunteer for Habitat for Humanity- 12</p>
<p>I will be the first-generation family member to attend college and the first in my family to attend college. I am Hispanic. My recommendations are excellent; one is from my History/Cross Country coach who has known me for three years. Another recommendation is from my former French teacher who is now a lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania. She details how she always saw my future as working with the International Nations/United Nations because of my linguistic skills. My essay is also very good as it details how I felt like King Arthur when I was younger, why I joined the sports I did, and how I see myself in the future (hopefully as an FBI Special Agent). </p>
<p>However, my SAT's were low with a 1710. Breakdown is 570 CR, 580 Math, 560 WR. This is my only worry, but I did study and retake them in hopes to receive a score of 1900+. I do plan on taking subject tests in French, Biology, and Math Level II which I should score 650+ on each test.</p>
<p>With this all being said, do I have a shot at the University of Maryland-CP? (sorry for writing so much, just really overwrought about getting into college)</p>
