MC MTAP - UMDCP and other Transfers

<p>So this is my first semester here at Montgomery College and I want to transfer to UMDCP in the fall of next year. I have filled out my application for MTAP and am expecting a 3.1 GPA with 15 credits this semester with a total of 25 credits by the time Im done with next semester (credits I got from summer sessions in the past)! I plan on having around a 3.5 next semester, but here are my questions:</p>

<p>1) I want to drop my Econ class this semester and it will appear as a W, but does that hurt my chances through the MTAP program to get into UMDCP?</p>

<p>2) Will having a GPA in the 3.1-3.6 range with full time work and other activities, be good enough to get into UMDCP?</p>

<p>3) Are there any other colleges that are relatively easy to get into the DC metropolitan area that I should also consider? Cost is not a factor.</p>

<p>I do not want to wait another semester or year or get my AA at my CC, I just want to transfer into a 4 year college ASAP.</p>
