UMD-College Park TRANSFER CHANCES!!!!

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Maryland - College Park

<p>I was curious as to what my chances would be for transferring to the University of Maryland--College Park. I am currently a 1st year student at Virginia Tech, and am enrolled in the College of Engineering. I have found that Engineering is not for me---not to say that I'm "failing out" because Im actually doing quite well--I made the Dean's List last semester
I was accepted to UMD-College Park out of high school, however, not for the Fall semester, but for the Spring. Here are some of my stats..</p>

<p>-High School GPA: 3.81
-Top 10% of Class
-SAT: 1120, 600M 520V ---Let me know if you think that I HAVE to retake them again....I took them during my 11th grade year..and never took them again. I am POSITIVE that I could do better, but am wondering if I can get in without a retake.
-College GPA @ Virginia Tech: 3.44
-Im instate--Resident of Maryland</p>

<p>-Also, in high school I had a TON of EC's....including..Varsity Soccer 4years, All-Academic A Team 2years, Tons of volunteering, food pantry at church, Engineering Internship at Reagan Naitonal Airport, SGA, FBLA, FCA--President, ect.</p>

<p>I would appreciate some feedback....Its a pretty stressful time right now just trying to decide what I want to do....I figure that UMD-College Park is a wonderful place to do that. Please let me know if you think that I even have a remote chance.</p>

<p>i think you have a pretty good chance, especially since you're instate. even though your SATs aren't too hot, if your GPA is really good now then maybe it's not necessary that you take them again.</p>

<p>Yeah...I mean my GPA now is decent--3.44. It could be a bit better but its still pretty strong for an Engineering curriculum. Thank you very much for you response...its greatly appreciated. </p>
