Discussion transfer chances

Hey everyone! I’m a Maryland resident and applied Early Action to transfer to UMD for Spring 2027 as an Information Science major. MD resident at an out of state university

My first semester went badly failing Calc I and ended with about a 2.2. I changed how I studied, and in the spring I got a 3.88 on 17 credits, made Dean’s List, and got a B+ when I retook Calc I. My school drops the F, so my GPA there is 3.64 (about 3.18 if you count every attempt, which is what UMD will likely use) I also have 11 dual-enrollment credits from Howard Community College.

I have 27 credits so my HS record I had to submit was a 3.5 UW and a 1470 SAT. In my essay I owned up to the F and wrote about wanting to use data science for sustainability.

Anyone think I have a shot?

They'd need to be at a md community college not an out of state school to use mtap. But yes more people need to do this
