<p>I'm a high school junior that lives in VA and I was wondering if I have a chance at getting in. I'll have a 3.6 cumulative GPA by the end of this year, and hopefully a 3.7 when I graduate.
I hadn't taken any AP or honors classes in 9th grade cuz they didnt have it at my old high school and I didnt take any in 10th. I took AP US history this year and Honors English, and next yr I'll be taking about 4 AP & honors classes together.
I took the SAT 1 time so far and got a 510 in Math, 570 Critical Reading, and 610 on the new Writing section (multiple choice 61 essay 8). Total 1690
I might take a SAT subject test next year too, in English or something.</p>
<p>So tell me what YOU got on ur SAT, ur final GPA, and any other things that would help me get in, thanx!</p>
<p>I don't think it is amazingly hard, but it's somewhat difficult. I think you can get in.</p>
<p>i had a 660 math, 670 verbal and 770 writing..i also took sat ii's, but i really don't know if umd needs/looks at them. my final gpa was a 101 point something but our school does gpa's on a 100 scale. i got into honors, though, so if u just wanted to get into the university itself, i'm not quite sure exactly "how low you can go" regarding SATs/GPA.</p>
<p>Um Sarpash I think you can get in but definitely raise that SAT score. Mine was about the same as yorus first time I took it but the second time I rasied it to 630 V, 640 M, 670 W... and I'm sure that helped me. So try to raise your Math + Verbal score to like 1200, 1250, maybe 1300 range... your GPA and course load is about the same, if not better than mine. I was in mostly regular classes, a few honrs, and one GT and one AP all four years. So you should be okay.</p>
<p>Just write a decent essay and get good recommendations. Apply early action, too.</p>
<p>You're SAT is pretty bad, the 25-75% range is 1180-1350, and, as you can see, you'd be well into the bottom 25%.</p>
<p>I wouldn't bet on it unless you can raise that SAT by 150+ points.</p>
<p>Are you a URM?</p>
<p>yeah, a 1080 will probably put you in spring semester or get denied. Really raise that up a few points, breaking 1100 is something you should be able to do. JUst try hard to do better because your grades are in line.</p>
<p>Like everyone else has said you should get in as long as you raise your SAT score. But you really don't need to raise it that much, I had a 17something (I think I'm the only person who doesn't have their score memorized) and got in just fine. I have a 4.0 weighted with all honors throughout high school and 2 APs this year. </p>
<p>So basically as long as you don't majorly slack off you'll be fine.</p>
