Penn State and University of Maryland? Will Chance everyone back!

<p>GPA UW: 3.24/4.0
GPA W: 3.63/4.3
didn't do well freshman year, but turned it around 10th/11th/12th
SAT composite: 1830 CR: 620 M: 600 W: 610
school does not rank</p>

<p>white, Out of State, New Jersey</p>

<p>Varsity Field Hockey captain (state/county champs), Student Council office leader, Italian Club president, Mayor's Intern, plus tons of other EC's and job experience</p>

<p>4 APs, several honors</p>

<p>Essays/Recommendations are very good</p>

<p>Applied priority for both </p>

<p>What are my chances to get into Penn State/UMaryland?</p>

<p>bump bump bump</p>

<p>when you do poor in the beginning and then turn around, it looks good on you.
You have good ECs. SAT score is average.</p>

<p>I think Penn State is a low match while Maryland is a match</p>

<p>Chance me please!!

<p>Although your GPA is a bit low, you have a decent SAT score for those schools. Most importantly, you did increase your chances a lot by doing much better in your later years of high school.</p>

<p>I would say that Penn State is a match/low match and Maryland is in the same range, probably a match. Best of luck.</p>

<p>bummmmpppp</p>

<p>Like the others said, a turn-around in GPA is a good indicator of maturation and such. I have the same problem. I would say both are matches with good LoR’s and essays. You got it!</p>

<p>Both are matches
Chance me

<p>humpty BUMPty</p>

<p>You have a better chance at penn state but neither are out of reach. Your GPA shouldn’t be a problem if you turned it around dramatically and with your EC’s which are very strong. good luck!</p>

<p>At least for Penn, i know that they require better stats from those out of state.
Saying that i think Penn is a High Match
Maryland is a High-Mid Match</p>

<p>both are around a high match. good course rigor and ec’s. chance me back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1428396-chances-uva-tech-nyu-columbia-stanford.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1428396-chances-uva-tech-nyu-columbia-stanford.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Psu- mid match um- high match If you we’re in-state both would be easier but an improved sat can just as easily turn these into low match or even safety depending on how good your ec’s and recommendations are</p>

<p>bummmmmmmmmmp</p>

<p>I think you’ll get in both places. Your SATs, GPA, EC’s, and course load look great!</p>

<p>Chance me back?

<p>bummmmmppppp!</p>

<p>Upward trends in GPA’s always look good so you don’t have to worry about that, also your SAT is really good so if your essays are decent you should easily get into both schools. Good luck.
Chance me back if you can:
