<p>In state or out of state?</p>

<p>Most of the local (Maryland) kids I know who are attending College Park had nearly perfect GPAs. UMCP seems to be very numbers driven. It also does a spring admit program for kids who are just below what they are looking for.</p>

<p>Normally their gpa is a little higher but I think you will get in. Best of luck!</p>

<p>Your ACT is good enough. Your GPA might hurt you a bit. It helps that you are URM and from Illinois. You should apply.</p>

<p>Thanks for the replies!! I know my gpa is low but I’m hoping they will notice the trend. Also im hoping I can get it up to a 3.6 by end of first semester next year.
Should I retake the act in the fall?</p>
