<p>Hey guys, what's up? Although I'm happy and content at my current school, Elon, I'm thinking of transferring. I applied and was accepted for spring semester at UMD as a high school senior. If I apply, it will be for the fall, the start of my junior year. What do you think my chances are?</p>

<p>Personal:
Male from a competitive public school in NY state.
URM- Hispanic</p>

<p>College:
gpa- right now it's a 3.0 because I really messed up as a first semester freshman, but by the end of this semester I should have a 3.2-3.3 and after winter term I should have a 3.3-3.4. I've gotten all A's within my major, communications.</p>

<p>Freshman year:
Work at Campus Recreation, Work at the Elon Poll, S.M.A.R.T. (Multicultural) Program, Indoor soccer intramurals
Over the summer: work at Home Depot</p>

<p>Sophomore:
Work at Campus Recreation, Reporter for the school newspaper, I have my own radio show, and very soon I'm either going to become involved in an award-winning school television production or join the ultimate frisbee team</p>

<p>High school:
GPA- 89.1?, so about a 3.5 uw
SAT- 570 CR, 600 M, 670 W, 11 essay 1170/1840
6 honors classes taken, 2 ap, 5 ib
AP- 3- English Lang
Solid activities</p>

<p>As a junior transfer, your high school stats won’t be looked at. I don’t know what GPAs they are looking for in transfer students, but it may cause you some issues, especially since you are OOS.</p>

<p>ohhh ok didn’t know about high school stats not being looked at - thank you. But does being accepted (for the spring) as a high school senior give me any leverage or increases my chances a lot? Because in a letter I remember it saying “let us know if you change your mind and decided to go to MD,” or something like that.</p>

<p>anyone? i think i might email them and ask this directly.</p>

<p>I would call/email them directly since they still might have your application from back then.</p>
