Wow… I’m not sure what to say about this one. I was an in-state applicant with a lower unweighted but higher weighted GPA, and certainly fewer AP’s, about the same EC’s, and was accepted, however lucky I feel about that. However, there are a few things working against you.

Stats like yours would give you a decent shot from in-state. However, it is much more difficult to get accepted from out of state, and your ACT scores, while good all around, isn’t quite Maryland-caliber. I also notice the difference between your unweighted and weighted GPA’s, which is only .3. I don’t know if you have a different means of weighing GPA’s from where I’m from, but if it could be a sign of a less than challenging high school curriculum. Then again, 5 AP’s in one year amazes me(you couldn’t pay me to pull THAT off).

I’m not going to sugarcoat this: It’s a long shot; it’s probably not going to happen. I can’t read your essays, of course, so maybe they’re better than what you described as “decent.” I’m sure that you’ll get in somewhere and have a great time doing whatever you’re doing, wherever you go.

By the way, don’t be “SUPER NERVOUS about all of [your schools]”, as I’m very confident that you’ll get into UConn, as I did from out of state with a scholarship offer. Best of luck, and do pray for Maryland, because it is a wonderful school! :)
