<p>Wow, Maryland is like a low match/ high safety for you. Seriously, think about better colleges, I have friends who go to Maryland and they had (3.4’s out of 4.6!) and they still got in. He also had legacy and a 30 ACT.</p>

<p>You’ll get in to Maryland, I know tons of people people with much lower scores than you who have been accepted.</p>

<p>I am not sure that is the norm. I know people who had much higher stats than that and did not get in.</p>

<p>For the Fall of 2011, students admitted to the University of Maryland have an average (weighted) GPA of 4.05 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>
