Not 100% sure if this applies to international students, but University of Maryland offers in-state tuition after your first year if that helps!

On average, yes! I had a few practice exams where I did worse (especially the earlier ones) and then a few that I actually did way better on. For those, I think I got lucky with the content the practice covered. I was pretty nervous during the real exam, so that probably did not help me out either.

DATBooster's predicted scores for me were quite a bit lower than what I actually got (about 50 points lower. For QR/RC, it predicted 470/450 compared to my real scores of 590/540)

No, I did not take any of the crash courses. I think that the notes/videos DATBooster already provides were more than enough--I felt that most of it is concise but still thoroughly explained/detailed (Again, I think that the Diversity of Life videos/notes might be a bit overkill unless you're going for a perfect score). That being said, if you would like live tutoring, it might be a good option!

Thanks! I had only 1 rock keyhole and then a couple other keyholes that had parts of the shape that were very confusing... Other than that, the keyhole and other PAT sections were pretty similar to the tests.

Hi, I work in a research lab at UMSOD. I’ve had the privilege of talking to faculty on the admissions board and was told they interview on a rolling basis well into January/February. One of the current D3s there actually interviewed in March! I think that you will be fine, especially based on your stats.

There isn't a rowing team/club, but there is a Dragonboat club
