Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Maryland - College Park

I’m at a freshman studying computer science. I have a 3.37 high schools gpa and 3.06 college gpa. I’ve complete 16 credits. SAT: 1080 ACT: 21

I go to school in upstate NY, but im originally from MD. I want to transfer because my current college do not have the courses I need to help in my career. I have a pretty strong essay and that’s mainly what its about.

I know my stats aren’t high and UMD is competitive, so i’m unsure about my chances.

What major are you interested in?

Priority deadlines are coming up. I’d apply to both since you seem unsure. Don’t forget to have your test scores and transcripts sent.

Also, on their website from 2017, it list an average GPA for transfer admits right around 3.5 which is quite a bit higher than yours. If you really want to get into UMD might want to look at community college transfer options.
