Worked hard, good grades, leadership in extra-curriculars, community service awards, top SATs.

If you've got the grades and SATs, it's not a hard school to get into. Just be enthusiastic about what you do and have that reflect in your application.

I got into the University because it had a distant learning program that is approved by my military. Unfortunately they do not trust their students at all, so I have to work three times as hard and get unfair grading.
Stay away from this place!

Don't work too hard in high school. It'll be a waste of time. This school is not that hard to get into. I know someone who didn't take any enriched/honors courses, had no AP credits, and only a mediocre SAT score and GPA, and he still got in.

Had a real good GPA, I graduated second in my class, so I had no trouble getting in. If you do well in school, Maryland does recognize your talents ans rewards you accordingly.

I did absolutely nothing. I just got lucky with going to a crappy high school where I made 3/500+ in my class with no effort! But once you're here, believe me, you HAVE to put in work towards school, especially if you're in a competitive program like engineering.

I had a lot of activities. I played 3 sports in High School, I was in 2 4-H clubs and held office positions in the clubs, and I was a girl scout for awhile. I wasn't in any of the school clubs but I guess they would help too. I think SAT's really helped but I didn't go crazy with them I just bought one of those books to refresh my memory on math I hadn't done since Freshman year. My GPA was a low A and my class rank was in the top 30%.

The key to getting into Maryland is realizing that it is no longer an easy prospect. You will need to earn fairly high grades and the best thing is to take advantage of the opportunities to take Advanced Placement courses and exams. Find something unique about yourself and figure out how you can nuture that quality at Maryland and that will go a long way towards getting you in.
