University of Maryland???!!!!

<p>University of Maryland is my dream school. I live out-of state and I know that makes my chances much slimmer. But here are my credentials- let me know what you think!</p>

<p>GPA- 4.0 unweighted
SATs- 1220 CR 590 Math 630
Classes- Honors 3 APs
4 on Psych AP</p>

<p>EC:
Editor in chief- school newspaper
Tennis- 7 years
Piano- 9 years
Volunteer Experience</p>

<p>Internship with psychologist last summer</p>

<p>You have decent chance of getting in.</p>

<p>Reach. Up those SATs 50 points on Math & CR, and it's a match.</p>

<p>If you were in state youd be in for sure. Even so, you have a good chance. UMD has to accept 70% of its applicants from in state.</p>

<p>Do you really think I will have a problem getting in? Do the SATs count for a lot? It is so frustrating for me because I do so well in school and have such an impressive activities resume, but the SATs hold me back.
Thanks</p>

<p>Its a slight reach for you. i live in maryland and have met the ad com's for this region tons of times. A good gpa will make up for par or sub par sat's. Decent ec's and some ap's are good. The fact hurting you is you are out of state. Curious, why dont you live penn state</p>

<p>i think that it might be a little too late to start considering new school, but thanks for the advice</p>
