Also i did Varsity Track and did track for all 4 years.

[</em>] Counselor Rec: I get along with my guidance counselor, so it was probably good.

[/ul]Location/Person:[ul]
[</em>] State or Country: New York
[<em>] School Type: private
[</em>] Ethnicity: Hispanic
[li] Gender: Male[/li][/ul]Other Factors:I had good ECs (Model UN, School Newspaper) Besides that, nothing really. General Comments: I didn't pay my application fee. I initially applied because I wanted to apply to one Northern school and Maryland was my favorite. However, I didn't pay the fee when I got the bill because I knew I wasn't going to pick UMD. I didn't think I would get in (if I paid) because of my low GPA although it is better than it looks because I took tough classes, had an upward trend, and go to a school where very few A's are given. I don't want to stay in the north so I'm turning down Maryland for the University of Arizona.</p>
<p>Iceman, it was a combination of things. First of all, I've lived in the Northeast my whole life and want to be in a different region of the country. I also want warm weather and U of A gives me that. Also, U of A has lower tuition and gave me a merit scholarship on top of that so I save a lot of money going there (even though it's on the other side of the country.) Oh, and I just felt more comfortable with the idea of going to U of A. I really really really liked the school when I visited. Maryland is a very good school and has a better reputation than U of A, but U of A just gave me more of what I wanted and the better pricetag was just the icing on the cake. If I had to stay up north, I would be at UMD in a second, but fortunately I don't have to be up here anymore. :)</p>
