<p>College GPA:2.6 First 35 credits (five years ago)</p>
<p>I joined the military and now study Arabic.
College GPA:4.0 Last 45 credits (Defense Language Institute)</p>
<p>I am seperating from the Air Force within a month and should be moving to the DC area. I would like to return to college full-time and eventually get a PhD in Arabic. I believe that Georgetown and U of MD both have the best Arabic programs among the schools in the DC area. (what do you think?)</p>
<p>I will have good essays and ECs (I flew combat missions over Iraq and Afghanistan) and should get good LoRs.</p>
<p>Just out of curiosity, what do you guys think my chances are?<br>
Oh, and who has a better basketball team? I don't follow...yet
thanks, sara</p>
<p>great chances because of life experience and good recent gpa. if anything og to a md comm college have a 2.75 or higher gpa for like a semester or two and your guaranteed admission because of contracts in the state</p>
<p>mens basketball is pretty much even right now. UMD is ranked in the coaches poll while g-town is unranked so i guess umd is a little better as of right now. G-town just has a winning basketball tradition. </p>
<p>u got a 4.0 (older than 5 year's gpa are erased at UMD)
For transfer it's a little bit easier to get in than freshman, so if you have good rec's and everything else, you should be fine. Youre in</p>
<p>You come into a maryland's forum and ask for their sports, it's gonna be a little bias :D
For basketball, Maryland will beat georgetown by at least 20 points for the current men's team and at least 50 points for the women's. All other sports too. </p>
<p>maryland is in the ACC, it's the best sport conference, you'd expect to see great games.</p>

<p>ye if your instate in maryland an you go to a community college for i think its 1 year might be 2 and get a 2.75 theyre's some contract that guarantees you get in. dont quote me tho</p>
<p>^wouldn't be hard to believe, virginia has something similar. but i think the gpa is like 3.5 for va.</p>
<p>you seem like an awesome candidate for maryland. i mean, i'm no adcom, but i think those grades you got 5 yrs ago probably don't count for much. recently you've been doing great stuff in the classroom and out. i don't see why you wouldn't be accepted.</p>
