<p>I’m going into my Junior year of highschool. I’ve visited some schools and UMDCP is my favorite so far. However, I worry about being good enough to get accpeted so I’d like to know how some of you were accepted. If you have friends who were accepted or you got accpeted may you please tell me what they did to get accepted. I’m looking for GPA, SAT scores, awards, jobs, community service, extracurriculars, etc. Also does applying by November 1st really make a difference? Thank you!</p>
<p>definitely apply by november first, I made that mistake, but im still going there, even though I got no honors program and/or scholarships. I feel like UMD fits me perfectly, so im willing to go into debt for it, although I do have a chance to get scholarships next year… I had like a 3.4ish gpa from high school, with a really strong upward trend, like few As/mostly Bs freshman and sophomore year, to getting all As/A+s junior and senior year. 2110 SAT, 690 cr, 770 Math, 650 wr. I was a varsity swimmer for four years, although I dont plan on swimming in college(maryland is d1 anyway, im not that good). Some volunteer work at habitat for humanity, but no major awards or anything. Out of state as well. Also no job, until after I got accepted anyway</p>
