Hello,
If there is a separate place that these types of posts are meant for, I apologize, I just started using this site.
I am a high school senior applying to UMD, and the Robert H. Smith school of business.

I am instate and this is the last school I haven’t heard from. I go to a relatively small private school in Maryland. I applied priority decision. I visited if that counts for something (probably doesn’t matter).

GPA- ~3.67 (W). ~3.5 (UW) My GPA has trended upwards since freshman year and my first semester of senior year I earned a 4.03 (W) GPA. I know my school submits our first semester grades on January 15, but I don’t know if UMD looks at them.

SAT- 1350. 750 Reading. 600 Math.

APs. Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Latin, English Literature

Roughly 100 community service hours.

Sports:
Cross Country (4 years)
Indoor Track (4 years)
Lacrosse (3 years)
Outdoor Track (1 year)

Clubs:
National Honor Society
Red Cross Club
American Politics Club
Model UN
Environmental Club
Certamen

Member of Latin Honor Society (not really a club, you just need to have an A in Latin.)

Recommendations: Didn’t read them, two teacher recs and a counselor rec.

Essay- I honestly think my essay could have been better, but it’s too late now.
I applied priority before November 1.

Thank you in advance.
