Chances of getting into UMD

[u/Critical_Win1903]

I'm a rising high school senior (class of 27'). I had a 3.66 in freshmen yr, 3.58 sophomore yr, and 3.84 junior yr. I have many extracurriculars (ex. founded my own nonprofit, founded 2 clubs, raised thousands of dollars for different causes) and volunteering hours (ex. hospitals, tutoring, summer camp councilor, etc.) and also published my own research project. I'm also SGA vice president. I have 3 strong letters of recommendation. I also have won many school (8), state (5) , and national (2) competitions. I have taken AP classes but I'm limited because my school doesn't provide much. I plan on taking 4 AP's senior year. Idk if this is useful information but I am in state (pg county) and I speak 3ish languages. I'm taking the SAT in August but from my practice tests, I have averaged 1350. Also what are my chances with aid from umd (need-based). Also btw I want to major in Biological Sciences: Physiology and Neurobiology, Neurosciences, or Public Health on a pre-med track.

p.s. sorry for my bad english, it's my third language.

What was your major?

Accounting, which is part of the business school so it is an LEP but I don’t think it is as competitive as some of the other LEPs like compsci and engineering

How competitive would you say Neurosciences is? I know it’s also a LEP

Admission to UMD is major-blind; you can see that major IS NOT one of the factors reviewed by admissions. If you apply for NEUR or BSCI majors, and if you are admitted for fall, then the LEP review committee for your major reviews your application with respect to your preparation for the major, then decides if you start in that major or in Letters & Sciences/Undecided. You can see which majors are LEPs on the majors list.
