[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are some rejections that are 75th percentile for UMCP. Why would they be rejected? Any insights from the counselors posting here? UMCP does say it considers gender, so with female applicants outweighing male applicants everywhere, I assume it's harder to get in if you are female.[/quote]

There are only so many slots available. If you are above 75% and didn’t get in, then it’s because something in your stats didn’t warrant a spot, whether that is demographics or other important aspect to creating a well-rounded class.  It’s not plug and play. If you are a top student who submits top test scores then you are in at UMD. If not, then to it entire application is up against those others in your group who may or may not help with the well rounded news of the class. It’s pretty simple folks…[/quote]

If you don’t have a hook, then you need to differentiate yourself!  Whether it’s outstanding (not just very good) grades and tough courses, or high test scores, or both!  But one isn’t always enough in this age of gpa inflation. High gpa is expected and no longer differentiates like it used to.[/quote]
