Great question! Kudos to you for asking that, as I’ve seen so many people make assumptions about admissions to Clark that are incorrect. Understanding that it is a LEP (limited enrollment program), the Clark School of Engineering has declined direct admission to many stellar students that have great stats. Excellent students often are surprised and confused that they are admitted to honors college at Maryland, but not to engineering. Clearly, the fact that you have posed the question indicates you are already aware of this, so I am responding not just for you, but for others to understand as well.
So, yes, your daughter has “the stats” per se (fyi, they only consider M and CR, not writing portion), but you are correct that having the stats alone is no guarantee to admission to Clark. There are definitely other factors for Clark…please understand my comments are personal opinions only. I cannot speak for the school, and I have no insider knowledge of the specifics of what they actually do consider (just a mom of a senior (!) MechE student).
However, I’m fairly confident that some of the things they consider would be what classes has she taken that are related to engineering/does she have any activities that are related to engineering/has she demonstrated interest in engineering in any way. So, the fact that you mentioned she is president of her school’s Model UN and Mock Trial specifically, I personally think that’s great but not relevant for engineering. It shows leadership, yes, and good verbal/public speaking skills, but not sure how that translates to an interest in engineering. Of course, if her school does not have any activities that are related to engineering, that’s something to consider also. Being female will help, but not compensate. Understand I am not making a guess as to her chances, just trying to give my opinion/insight into the admissions for engineering from my perspective.
The best thing she can do is make sure she applies by the priority deadline of Nov. 1. It’s not a commitment, but it gives her the best shot, without question.
Best of luck
