<p>Since I am out of state, and my SAT scores are not too high, I was wondering what my chances are for Fall admit vs. Spring admit! Thanks :slight_smile: (Also does me being Asian help in any way…?)</p>

<p>You will get in. You have a great GPA and have taken challenging classes. Being Asian doesn’t give you a higher chance at UMD, since 14% of student body are Asian.</p>
