Maryland Regular Decision concerns
I wasn't able to apply to Maryland early action, and am applying regular decision.
I have a 3.75w/4.75 uw. 1470 SAT, and 34 ACT. I've been reading that Maryland is way more selective regular decision. I realize that the RD acceptance rate is way lower, can I do anything to increase my chances?
I also played soccer on a nationally ranked team for all 4 years of highschool (Traveling almost every week) , am a We The People constitutional law competition State Champ, and nationals finalist (4th), and coached a little kids team for my senior year.

Besides doing your best to write stellar essays, I also recommend adding some extracurriculars to your list to build a spike. Your spike should relate to your major interest and career ideas.
The best ECs to add will involve a high level of leadership and real-world impact. Many of them can be done independently or online, and they do not necessarily need to be multi-year commitments to be impressive. Here is a list of just some of the possibilities.
Hope this helps!
