<p>someone told me i have a slim chance at getting into
UMD college park</p>

<p>others have told me i might get in</p>

<p>1970 SAT
3.78 UW GPA
all honors and 3 AP's</p>

<p>Your SAT is about right, and your GPA is fairly strong.</p>

<p>I wonder what your weighted GPA looks like.</p>

<p>I say you have a very fair shot. What's the average GPA for admittance?</p>

3

<p>im not sure
weighted mine is like a 4.2-4.3ish i guess, my school does not weight</p>

<p>ahhhhhh</p>

<p>im probably not going to get in as a lotta people said i have a slim chance at admission</p>

<p>o well, i just wanted to get into a college but looks difficult</p>

<p>EC's were good
essay was amazing IMHO, but BC thought it sucked
so im not sure about that</p>

<p>idk</p>

<p>My stats were similar to yours and my guidance counselor also told me that UMD was a 'reach,' but I ended up getting admitted.
It will depend also though on your essay, EC+resume, recomendations, etc.</p>

<p>Admission is about 1 in 2, but it sounds like you've got a decent chance. It'd be better if you were a Maryland resident. Good luck, man.</p>

<p>You have a solid chance at UMD. I'd say you're in.</p>
