What do you think my chances are

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Okay so I'm a junior from NJ and I really want to go to UMD, plus I have 2 already graduated first cousins who went their.</p>

<p>However I am also applying to
-University of Pittsburgh (second favorite)
-University of Delaware
-University of Virgina
-NC State
-TCNJ
-Rutgers (safety)</p>

<p>and here is my info</p>

<p>-I have a 3.85 weighted GPA (I know not great)
-1890 SAT score (taking it again next week for the second time hoping to rise above 2000 by the time I'm done with SATs)
-I have worked since freshman year so over 5000 hours
-4 years of soccer (2 years JV captain)
-3 years of indoor track
-4 years of club soccer
-1 year of baseball
-4 years of FBLA (future business leaders of america..club)
-4 years of DECA (another club
-NHS (nation honors society)
-130 hours of community service (approximate)
-in the top 25% of my class of about 290 kids</p>

<p>Thats pretty much it however my rank is low only because my class is sooo smart the top 20 kids all have a gpa above 4.55 so I barely stood a chance, but they don't have the same EC's as me. So I wanna know what else I can do to improve my chances and what my chances are. (If there are any other suggestions for similar type colleges where I would have a good chance ill gladly take opinions) Please and thanks!</p>

<p>Just in case…I’m talking about University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) just to save any confusion…</p>

<p>What is your unweighted GPA, approximately? It’s hard to tell when schools do weighted GPAs differently.</p>

4

<p>I am thinking…approximately 3.5</p>

<p>That GPA and those test scores definitely put you in a good spot for Rutgers, TCNJ, NC State, and UD. Your scores are a bit low for UMD and UPitt but with your ECs and good letters of recommendation and good essays, you should have a good shot at getting in. As for UVA, that school is a bit more competitive. I think its safe to stay your scores and GPA don’t give you a very competitive shot at getting in.</p>
