<p>over the past week or two ive realized how difficult it actually is to get into maryland and have heard of people getting denied with 4.0s. I don't know if this has to do with oos. I am in state and would like to go there so what are the average in state stats to get into maryland college park thanks</p>
<p>For in-state students, the rigor of your high school may be considered more than GPA (to a point). Many kids from top public and private high schools consider it a safety, but for schools with less stellar reputations, top numbers are needed. Your best bet is to ask your guidance counselor how students from your school do.</p>
<p>My impression is that 4.0 is not needed for acceptance in-state, but probably for any decent scholarships and for some LEPs or special programs like Honors and Gemstone. Of course, every year is different. I thought there was a thread on the stats of admitted students for the class of 2014, but this is the only one I could find that has some stats for next years Honors students. </p>

<p>My son is in-state. Not invited to Honors. </p>
<p>Stats: 1330 & 1960 29ACT, 3.6uw, 4.0w, 7 APs</p>
<p>FWIW, he didn’t get Honors at any of his colleges. However, at a couple selective LACs he did get enough merit awards to bring the cost in line with UMCP. </p>
<p>I find the whole process facinating and unpredictable. It reminds me of weather forecasting. Solid data + the intangibles = the direction of that storm/student. ;)</p>
