<p>Your scores are very low for JHU and I can't speak for the other schools. Sorry.</p>

<p>JHU is near impossible. chance me?</p>

<p>hmm why not college park?</p>

<p>I need reasons!!!
and... I wrote a killer essay for JHU as said by 10 english teachers in my school</p>

<p>Probably everything except for Johns Hopkins (SAT is way too low) and College Park.</p>

<p>i need reasons about why i may not be admitted to college park</p>

<p>hmm anybody who IS a student of college park, please comment on my chances
please</p>

<p>Hey snowy. I live in Towson and will try to help you understand why College Park is hard to get into. </p>

<p>First of all, due to the economic state we are in, more people are applying to state schools (especially if they live in that state). Ergo, the application pool is a lot tougher.</p>

<p>Regardless, University of Maryland has always been fairly difficult to get into, even from instate. According to USNews, the Fall 2007 acceptance rate was 47%. That's actually higher than some years. </p>

<p>Link: University</a> of Maryland--College Park - Best Colleges - Education - US News and World Report </p>

<p>Furthermore, the average GPA and SAT of accepted students is known to be much higher than your scores. </p>

<p>"Average freshman high school GPA: 3.86
Average freshman SAT verbal score: 628
Average freshman SAT math score: 655"</p>

<p>Almost four years ago, my sister, who had an A- average at a well-known private school, a 1300/1600, and some decent ECs, was wait listed from out of state (underrepresented state too). A colleague of my stepfather had a daughter that was rejected from Maryland, and her dad was a head of a department there. </p>

<p>Based on this information, your chances are slim. But GL~!</p>

<p>p.s. I also applied there with a tad higher stats in some areas and my counselor says my chances aren't great :D.</p>

<p>towson is prolly your best choice. No way your getting into College Park with a 3.2 and a 1670.</p>

<p>hmm could there be luck??</p>
