<p>Update: </p>

<p>October SAT Results:</p>

<p>Congrats, yes it does. The GPA may still affect your chances at merit $, but you’ll most likely get accepted w/ no problems.</p>

<p>The best prediction is from your school’s Naviance data. Our school’s data matched very closely to the UMD’s Freshman Profile last year.</p>

<p>“For Fall 2012, students admitted to the University of Maryland have an average (weighted) GPA of 4.11 and the middle 50% of SAT scores ranged from 1250 to 1400, and between 28-32 on the ACT. As a result 25% of the admitted students scored below a 1250 on the SAT and 25% scored above a 1400.”</p>

<p>Your GPA could be a concern for the fall admits.</p>

<p>I think you are in. I think your GPA may hold you back from getting into Honors.</p>

<p>OP - After reread your post, I might have been too harsh. I know someone who had similar stats (2100+ SAT & 3.8 WGPA) was accepted into the Freshman Connection program three years ago. But you do have great AP scores which will place you out of many required gateway courses. So, your AP scores should give you a big boost.</p>

<p>By the way, your GPA should have been so much higher based on your AP abilities. :(</p>
