<p>I want to know my chances of getting into Colege Park, my stats are:</p>

<p>White female
In-State</p>

<p>SAT: CR=670
Math=640
GPA: unweighted is 3.23
weighted is 3.7
Extracurricular: *Played tennis and soccer
*Have good charity work – led and organized various fairs for the mentally disabled/ neonatal intensive care unit - along with other things
*Have won a ton of awards for my painting and photography - don’t feel like listing

  • am in National arts honor society
    *and did Mica Pre-college
    ---- and some other things but those are the highlights</p>

<p>All of my classes have been either G/T or AP and my letter of recommendations put me in a very good light. My mom is an alumni.
And to account for my low GPA: My counselor mentioned extenuating circumstances during 9th/10th grade years. And in application I elaborated - explaining my mothers debilitating/undiagnosed illness.</p>

<p>And my junior year I got a B in Physics G/T but A’s in all my other classes
And senior 1st quarter I got 1 B in Calc G/T with A’s in all the others</p>

<p>Please Chance :)</p>

<p>I don’t think there’s any question…you should be in, with no problem. The GPA may keep you out of an initial invite to any special programs or merit $$, but in terms of acceptance, I don’t see any issues?? Congrats for all the arts awards…are you going to major in something art-related?</p>

3

<p>No, I’m planning on double majoring in psychology and criminology and criminal justice. The art was to help me get in – but since MD doesn’t allow a portfolio submission it was kind of moot. I did base my essay around it though.</p>

<p>Since you aren’t applying to a LEP, the GPA won’t impact that either. Good luck!</p>
