<p>RD chances are significantly lower than the Priority ones (even for IS), simply because so many take advantage of the Priority deadline. </p>

<p>Your stats are on par for admission, although I’m not sure if a 2010 SAT will get you into Honors.</p>

<p>Agreed with previous poster, though I must say I got into Honors with lower SATs (well ACT equivalent) than that… But I thought you have to apply priority in order to be considered for honors?</p>

<p>Thank you, guys. Oh yeah, they reserve Honors for Priority applicants only, I believe. I was wondering about just my chances of getting in, in general.</p>

5

<p>I recall reading on the website that Honors and Scholars are only offered if one applied by the priority deadline.</p>

<p>Which school are you applying to? I’m also an Asian girl and I got into the Philip Merrill College of Journalism. My SAT total is lower than yours (1950), but I think UMCP only looks at the Math and Critical Reading sections.</p>
