I really want to go to University of Maryland College Park but i have to have a backup and i was wondering if i have a chance of getting in the honrors program at UMBC. am a african american. I have a g.p.a of 3.50 currently and i am in my senior year. My sat’s are pretty low, 1300/2400 and i am planning to take it again before applying. I have taken all honor classes from 10th grade on. I have more math credits then they reccomended because i was in a special math program and i had to do geometry/algebra 2/trig in one year. I am currently taking 3 A.P. classes, A.P. biology, A.P. English/lit, A.P. calculus and because i don’t have space on my schedule, i am taking A.P psychology on the side. I am involved in the Interact/Rotary club in which i am vice president, in the National Honor Society, and i participated in the chemathon, a chemistry competiton in University of Maryland in which me and 5 others were the first to represent our high school in this competition. I have currently over 150 hours of community service but that should go up to 400-500 before i apply. I am also in the science fair club, where me and my partner will compete locally and hopefully beyond even that. I am volunteering for the public library and i have already volunteered for the school library. I am also volunteering at the Washington Hospital Center in the department of Radiology. I should get major hours and have a great experience. I have also attended the student leadership program in which they give us necessary skills on how to be a great leader and we also recieve a certificate. I forgot, i also was a part of the Computer video club, but our supervisor left so it is no more. I plan on having many reccommendations from teachers and the hospital. Hopefully i would have a great Essay, i am working on it with my A.P. English/lit teacher and if she can’t help me then no one can(just kidding). I want anyone’s honest opinion on if i have a good shot, and i heard that i could get into the honor program if i get my SAT’s up. Really i just want to know if i can just get in and then you can tell me if i have a shot at the honor program. Thank you to anyone who answered
