<p>What are my chances of getting in and what should I improve? Also will taking stat instead of calc look really bad? I want to go into either chem or bio major at CP which one do you recommend?</p>

<p>You are in good shape for UMD. If you can get your math and CR SAT scores up (you don’t say what they are individually), you may be a candidate for some merit aid (but probably not Banneker/Key)…closer to 700+ the better for each. With your community service, you may be a good candidate for the Scholars program. Good luck…just make sure to meet the priority deadline.</p>

<p>Try to stick with AP Calculus if you can because UMD won’t see your senior grades on your priority application.</p>
