<p>Extracurriculars:</p>

<p>Peer mentoring (Help developmentally challenged students in their classes during my free period)
Math peer tutor
Science Olympiad
I'm on the staff of my school's art and literary magazine
Basketball for the first three years of high school (not varsity)
About 150 hours of community service</p>

<p>Also, i was recently admitted into the engineering colleges for Purdue and UIUC, but I applied as a Nuclear Engineering major, not ChE. I know it is harder to get into UIUC, but i'm still a little nervous about UMD, so if anyone could tell me my chances it would be appreciated.</p>

<p>What’s your home state?</p>

3

<p>I believe UMD is actually more selective. In any case, seems like a Match due to your GPA.</p>

4

<p>my home state is RI, so OOS</p>

<p>Bump…</p>

<p>Overall I think you have a good chance. UMD is holistic in their decisions and it seems that you also have a good score on your SAT along with some nice ECs. Your UW GPA is a little low, but the other things should help. Have you taken Foreign Language? They like to see at least 2 years but prefer 3 or more. </p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>Yeah i took three years of foreign language</p>

8

<p>Anyone else?</p>

<p>I’d be shocked if you weren’t admitted. Good luck.</p>

<p>Oh wow thank you that’s very reassuring</p>
