[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think she has a chance at UMD, honestly, OP. But please DO apply early action, by Nov 1st! My son had the same GPA coming out of MCPS, with top AP exam and ACT scores, and he was admitted to an Honors college at UMD. Have her really brainstorm her essays: something about finding her identity in dance, and how that's connected to the other things she wants to study. Universities do read personal statements. [/quote] Me again. BTW, she is wise to prioritize her GPA over test scores, and she needs to maintain that in the first semester of senior year. If you can't do both, that's the way to go. I happen to know of students in my son's year (last year) who were rejected from UMD with a slightly lower GPA but more APs, or good AP exam scores. Apparently UMD cares about high GPA![/quote]
