University of Maryland Transfer Questions

<p>I am an instate student with a 3.2 and 60 credits completed. I’m told that my gpa/credit combination basically guarantees acceptance, but my issue is that I applied after the priority deadline for spring. Sadly, I feel that the date my application processed will be the only factor in my acceptance, not my actual merits. I’m just wondering whether I am incorrect about the impact of applying after the priority deadline?</p>
