Went to new orleans for a habiatat for humanity trip, visited old age homes bunch of times, worked with special needs children, babysat a lot. I also plan on retaking sats to boost my math ( i know i can get high 600 low 700) and i am taking ACT in october. Also took honors courses for all my studies except for a few hebrew courses, and i am taking AP stat senior year. I want to apply to school of engineering. Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>You need to make sure you get higher SAT scores to have a better chance at being accepted into University of Maryland.</p>

<p>If My scores do go up, however, to a superscored 1300 (out of 1600), do you think I’d be able to get in? I also forgot to mention i have experience in the engineering field, as i am working for my township as well (as we speak, even)</p>

<p>Your GPA is a bit on the low side, and your ECs are a bit lacking. All I can say is maybe.</p>

<p>Maybe. UMD likes academics and test scores over extracurriculars, so work on that SAT! </p>

<p>Chance me too:</p>

<p>While a math score of 640 is certainly above average for all test takers and may even be above the average for all students admitted to the University of Maryland, it is very marginal for engineering students at Maryland. Getting accepted as an engineering major is going to be a reach and if you are accepted you better be prepared to work very hard because most of your engineering classmates are going to have Math SAT scores in the 700 and above range.</p>

<p>I think because your cumulative GPA is low, your chances of getting into the school of engineering are slim to none. If you could get your CR+M score up to 1400, then you may have a chance of just getting accepted, but not into the school of engineering.</p>
