Im gonna be a senior in high school this fall, my current GPA is 4.0 weighted/3.7 unweighted, my current SAT score is 1780 but im taking it again this fall, I have not taken ACT yet but my practice score was 27, i have some but not too many ECs and both my mom and uncle have gone to UMD so I have legacy. What are my chances? Thanks in advance.

@calimary2011 Great GPA! I think UMD only counts CR+M but obviously your score is on the lower side – I know you’re going to retake it.

What are your ECs like?

CR+M I’d be at a 1230… ECs are mostly volunteer work & jobs… not many clubs and I’m not allowed to play sports

I would say you’re absolutely fine. A 1230 CR + M is not bad at all and even if you didn’t retake them I would say you still have a very strong chance of getting in. Best of luck.

@MJBross28 thank you so much for your help!!
