What are my chances?

[kpTIGE6]

<p>In-state
GPA: 3.98
Class Rank: Top 5%
SAT: 1820 (I know it's low, but I'm planning on retaking)
ACT: 28
APs: US History, Literature, Calculus, Economics. (My school has a policy that you can't take more than 2 APs a year)
Honors math and english courses.
Extracurriculars: Varsity Sports, active in clubs, community service, and Model UN.
My brother just graduated, and my sister is going to be a sophomore. Does that give me bonus points or anything?
Also, my dad works for the State Department and I plan on writing my essay about my experience living in 6 different countries. Do you think this helps my chances at all? I know UMd values diversity.</p>

<p>I'm planning on applying to the Smith School of Business and majoring in international business.
What do you think my chances are? Any hope for scholars? Thanks for any help!</p>

<p>Unless things have changed admissions is going to be looking at SATI CR and Math only along with GPA, etc. You may be a bit low on the SATs for the Smith school. They want to see mid 1300s for just those two sections. You GPA and class rank are outstanding. Write a good essay (compelling and revealing) and pick up those SATs and you’re very likely to be accepted. Good Luck.</p>

<p>Your siblings do not make you a legacy, only the folks do.</p>

<p>Yor GPA will get you in, but the low SAT/ACT will probably keep you from getting any program like Scholars, Gemstone or Honors. I also doubt Smith since it is ranked 18 internationally by USNWR.</p>
