<p>IS or OOS?</p>
<p>i am from oss</p>
<p>Which state?</p>
<p>Your SAT is low, and your w for 4 APs, honors and TAG is minimal, what is your scale, because a 3.65 uw and only a .13 seems odd. In our school district AP/IB gets a .5, honors gets a .25 bump on the w. Thus, you have 7 classes that should give you a much higher w even with that small discrepancy. </p>
<p>Do you have any hooks?</p>
<p>nj
idk most people in my school goes up about the same amount, i guess my hs does the scaling differently</p>
<p>what’s the major?</p>
<p>biology but i thought that the major doesnt affect admission discussions</p>
<p>I think your w will be re-weighted. It maybe your school system, but remember UMD has to deal with a lot of different weighting systems, so they re-weight to their scale. If their re-weight gets you over 4.0 than I think you have a shot. If it doesn’t than a 3.78 and a 1110 SAT from NJ, would be spring admit at best.</p>
<p>What is your pt scale difference for AP and honors? If honors gets no points, than it can help.</p>
<p>Have you looked at naviance for your school?</p>
<p>our school doesn’t use that
honors and ap gets more points but im not sure how they do it</p>
<p>Someone always said UMD don’t like too many students from NJ/NY. But I don’t understand why naviance show that all students from my son’s school(NYC) were accepted(stats a little above average). But only a few (15%) attend UMD.</p>
<p>UMD does take a lot of students from NY/NJ, but so many apply that the percentage accepted does take a bit of a hit. It’s just more competetitive to get in from those states.</p>
