<p>You have an alright chance.</p>

<p>I’d rate your chance as better than “alright.” We don’t have much experience with transfers coming back to tell us how they fared but it looks to me like your HS stats and college stats are both well in range for acceptance.</p>

<p>IT seems like they consider college stats first, then look at hs stats. You are in good shape there. However, what is their timing? Are they still accepting transfer applications for the Spring?</p>

<p>Well they’re deadline is Nov. 15. However, my first semester isn’t over until mid December. Because of this, my school will have to send my transcripts to UMD, and UMD won’t read them until January. I’ll most likely get a decision right before spring semester. Hopefully I get in!</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
