UMaine won’t reconsider your application unless you have a “compelling” reason for admission, i.e. better grades. I highly recommend applying to a community college and getting your gen-eds out of the way there and then applying for UMaine after you have established your grades and academic choices with the community college. You’ll save some money, too!
