<p>International student from New England.
sat1-2300[would be around 2350 ultimately][hopefully,and very possible]
gpa-2.95,i changed 5 high schools,which hurt my gpa a lot,and i will write it in my essay.
rigorous course load</p>

<p>I will skip the freshman year by passing my AP tests,so i do not need financial aid.</p>

<p>So chance...?
Thanks</p>

5

<p>I am a junior so i have time to raise my GPA,and that GPA is unweighted.</p>

6

<p>you better start getting straight As then.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure you can’t “skip” freshman year with AP credits at Maryland… There was a nice thread about this somewhere, you should check around for it…</p>

<p>I’d look for that thread, but you don’t skip being a freshman. Even if you have enough credits to be a sophomore, you won’t be a sophomore for everything on campus. (ex. you may get to register a bit earlier for classes – at the end of the sophomore registration period – but Reslife/etc. will still consider you a freshman).</p>

<p>get it above a 3. someone got denied with 2.98UW 22x0, 5’s on plenty of AP’s</p>

<p>I think even with your gpa your chances are good, I don’t think they would deny someone with that good of sats. Try as hard as you can to get your gpa up though.</p>
