<p>I am currently a junior in high school and want to attend the University of Maryland and major in Criminal justice. I was just wondering what you think my chances of getting in are based on this:</p>
<p>GPA:
unweighted: 3.7
weighted: 4.75</p>
<p>SAT:
I haven't taken the real SAT yet, but on the PSAT as a sophomore I got about 1700. I just took the PSAT this year, but I also took a diagnostic test online and got a 1920, but I think I did better on the actual thing. I'm hoping by the time I officially take the SAT, to bring my score up to at least a 2000, which I think is very possible.</p>
<p>ACT:
I haven't taken the real ACT either but last year on a practice one I got a 30. I took another one this year, but haven't gotten the scores back yet, but I imagine my final score will be somewhere in the lowish 30s.</p>
<p>SCHOOL:
I live in Chicago and go to the best public school in the state of Illinois, so hopefully that shows the type of education I've received and the type of work I have had to put in.</p>
<p>RANK:
Our school does not do class ranking.</p>
<p>CLASSES:
All honors classes, except for AP's
Last year I took AP US History
This year I am taking:
1) AP Chemistry
2) AP Language and Composition
3) AP Psychology
4) AP Latin
Next year, I think that I will probably take 3-4 more AP classes (AP Biology, AP Government, etc.)</p>
<p>EXTRACURRICULAR:
-I am involved in the Latin Club and have one a few awards at the state level and a few at the National level (ex. Gold medal on the National Latin Exam)
-I am in the National Latin Honor Society
-Freshman and Sophomore year, I managed the girls varsity basketball team (will not be doing again)
-Red Cross club freshman year
-I am doing model UN this year and next year
-Soccer all 4 year (junior varsity 2 yrs. and varsity 2 yrs.)</p>
<p>OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL:
-I attend youth group at church every week
-I volunteer at a nursing home once a week</p>
<p>And that's about all I can think of right now. If you guys could give me your opinions, that would be much appreciated. Especially if you have experience with the University of Maryland. Thank you!</p>
<p>Oh, also I should add that a year ago I went on a mission trip with my youth group to help in New Orleans. I also took an educational trip to Greece with my Latin class last Spring break. And over the summer, I worked in an office of a piping company, scanning, filing organizing, etc. I will also be working there over my breaks this year (Winter, spring)</p>
