Maryland Admissions Question - Notification and Selectivity

Hmm…unfortunately, I don’t. I do recall them stating (at an admissions event on campus several years ago) that since every school uses their own version of gpa, they recalculate everyone’s gpa based on their own scale. My memory is a bit fuzzy whether they said their scale was 4.5 or 5, but I’m leaning towards thinking they said 4.5. So, for example, my kids went to a high school that used a 7.0 for their weighted scale so obviously their gpa was very different also. I really don’t know how that translates on a 100 point scale, but suffice it to say it’s equivalent to a solid A average for engineering.

They do look at honors and AP designations in general, but engineering primarily cares about challenging yourself in math and sciences. If it helps to know, my son only took honors/AP in math and science classes (he has no interest in history or English) but was a direct admit to engineering.
