<p>Pre med, probably not b/c you are OOS, your class rank is low and the Math SAT is very low. Pre-med will involve a lot of Sci. and the Math part would give them red flags that you don’t have it under your belt which you will need for classes like organic chem.</p>

<p>Again no honors or AP Math would be another red-flag.</p>

<p>You have a good chance to get in under general, but I would really advise looking at the curriculum for Pre-Med</p>

<p>Take a gander it the courses that you are REQUIRED to take

<p>That is alot of Math you will need to endure.</p>

<p>Choose another major in the BA field and I would say yes…i.e Major in Foreign Language</p>

<p>I don’t know, I wouldn’t say your chances are low, but they certainly aren’t high. Maybe 50%?? Your SAT is out of the mid 50%, and your class rank isn’t too impressive. Once more… you’re not very geographically diverse, most OOS applications do come from NY/NJ/PA. However, your ECs are strong, so… you do have a chance.</p>

<p>the pre-med thing looks like it would be the only like setback because thats intense and everyone with a 3.9 is basically applying to that.</p>

<p>thanks guys…I would rather have a general idea that my chances aren’t that great than get my hopes up and think that I`m a shoe-in at UMDCP…unlike most chance threads where kids have rediulously high SATs/GPAs and ask for chances when they know them. This is helping me put my chances in perspective, as is the point of a CHANCE thread.</p>

<p>I would say you have a 20 percent chance.</p>

<p>I forgot to mention in my first post, I applied with the Priorty Application (basically maryland’s version of Early Action). Don’t exactly know how that would affect my chances.</p>
