I’m a senior in high school, white male, currently residing in Maryland and planning to apply priority to UMD.
Here are my stats, best for each section (old SAT):
Math: 600
Reading: 580
Writing: 670
GPA: 3.56 (unweighted) - 4.09 (weighted)
Subject Tests:
Spanish - 760
Biology - 680
AP’s I’ve taken:
AP Biology, AP Spanish, AP Lang & Comp, AP Programming
AP’s I’m currently taking:
AP Physics, AP Literature, AP Calculus, Advanced Programming
I’ve taken 7 Honors classes, currently taking 1.
I’ve also taken 4 classes with a certificate of merit label.
Extracurriculars & Activities:
- Varsity soccer Sophomore & Junior year.
- Volunteered at a Hospital over the summer.
- English and Spanish honors societies.
- Music (part of a production club for 3 years).
- Participation and awards in various programming and entrepreneurial competitions.
Recommendations:
Counselor and teacher (both known for writing very good recommendations, built a solid relationship with both)
- a letter from the hospital I volunteered for.
I know that Maryland has recently become very competitive and I believe that it may be difficult for me to get in based on my stats but I’d like to know what others think.
Thanks!
