I’m thinking about going to University of Maryland College Park or University of Maryland Baltimore Campus.
Issue is my parents don’t think I have a chance of getting in at all.
I’m currently a sophomore. I’m also Asian and I know for a fact that is a factor for college acceptance.
My unweighted is 3.45, weighted is 4.0 and my PSAT score was 1180/1520. (Pretty bad. Probably should have actually tried.)
My weighted/unweighted will definitely rise due to MOCO’s new grading policy where there are no semester exams and if you go AB or BA still counts as an A. I will need need to raise my SAT score just a little bit more.
Should I really be that worried that I’m not going to get in?
Anyway recommendations for prepping for SAT/ACT on my own?
Thanks in advance!
