<p>I really want to go to UMD & I'll be upset if im denied acceptance. Im somewhat confident in my application but, I have a few blemishes in my academic history that are causing me to lose ALOT of sleep. I earned a 4.0 this year, my freshman year in school but when averaged with my previous transcript, it brings down my cumulative gpa considerably. Below is my profile...do you think I have a shot????</p>
<ul>
<li>21 y/o</li>
<li>Sophomore (This Fall)</li>
<li>African-American Male</li>
<li>Maryland Resident</li>
<li>Community College - 12 Credits, 2.0 GPA (Bad time in my life) (2006-2007)</li>
<li>Delaware State University - 30 Credits, 4.0 GPA (Summa Cum Laude, President's List, Freshman Honors) (2009-2010)</li>
<li>Cumulative Grade Point Average - 3.42 GPA (Weight Avg / Both Schools)</li>
<li>SAT - Haven't taken since High School. University of Maryland website says Transfers dont have to submit scores.</li>
<li>ECs - Too many to list</li>
<li>Work Experience - Held various jobs since 14.</li>
</ul>
<p>you will get in bro easily
take a deep breathe and relax</p>
<p>u will get into UMD like no tomorrow
first off, u maintained a 4.0 with 30 credits at an actual university
what u did in community college have no significant weight
the point is you improved and enhanced yourself intellectually
you’ve progressed
and your African American which will help you stand out
and your EC’s and work experience will help</p>
<p>most schools these days are looking for people who’ve been out there in the work force, not spoiled kids who get in due to mommy and daddy’s connections and rich profits, not to mention a nerd who sits at home all day and studies</p>
<p>your good
don’t worry
and when u get in
message me</p>
<p>I spent a few years working after graduating from High School & during that time, I took a few junior college courses. I was a completely different individual & had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. I guess, Im just a bit nervous that this carelessness would hurt my application eventhough I’ve turned things around since.</p>
<p>You’re in bro. Like he said above, don’t sweat it!</p>
