You certainly need to talk to someone in admissions to ask your questions regarding how they look at GPA’s, etc. An option (though it may not sound attractive to you?) is to transfer to a MD CC to take your next semester classes… UMD seems to give people the benefit of the doubt in transfer situations, and the key is getting them to consider your first semester an anomaly. Taking classes pass/fail IMO doesn’t show that you’re any more serious about academics. If you can show that you’re really turned things around and are making all A’s and B’s, you’d be in much better shape.

That said, you def need to talk to someone at UMD, not here on CC.
