<p>have talk to many people and i am getting mixed results. Currently i have a 3.50 and if i do early decision, it can't go up but my sat score(which is horrible, 1300/2400) will look bad. I have taken extremely rigorous classes, A.P. Bio,A.P Calculus,A.P English/lit, A.P Psych, and all honors throughout high school. i haven't tooken the ACT but hopefully i would do better on that and i have excellent EC's(Extarciriculars) like Volunteering in hospital,library, etc. Nominated for awards like Who's Who Among highschool students, 400-500 community service hours, National honor society, many other clubs. Should have a great essay and great reccommendations. Also the chemathon at UMCP, just to name a few. Just wondering if i should apply early decision with some of the stats before you, i heard miniorty status counts and if you are in state. I want to ED because i really want to go to UMCP and i was wondering if i do apply to ED, do i have a good chance to get in and if i do it during regular decision, do i have a good chance.</p>
<p>UMCP does not have early decision. They have Priority Consideration, where Part I of the application is due by Nov. 1 and Part II is due by Dec. 1. A decision letter will go out March 1. Or they have Regular Application where both parts are due by Jan. 20 and a decision is made by April 1.</p>
