<p>All were resent brand new ones from all way back when. She has choices, and some she is waiting on. She has gotten into the most difficult of our state schools so all is not lost.
She has moved on it is more the admins issue with UMDs lack of response at this point, just the principle of it. Non of us really care only for UMD did tell her to resend everything.Yeah my thoughts exactly, if she did have a problem how responsive would they be if this is a product they are trying to sell, they are not doing a great job of PR, my OOS $ is a tick on the wall.</p>
<p>That's good to hear. It seems that UMD was very unprofessional in handling your daughter's case. With those stats, your D was way out of the ballpark for UMD anyways.</p>

No question the PR stinks, but be careful in generalizing admissions offices to the rest of the school. Remember that now, admissions offices are the most important places in the world. Come September, unless working or volunteering, your student will never set foot there again.</p>
<p>A disorganized admissions department doesn't necessarily mean a disorganized or unresponsive administration for students already there.</p>
<p>That is a good point, Chedva. </p>
<p>It can also be the reverse. We've had dealings with two departments at the local university over the years. Both of them blew off my S and me repeatedly: not returning phone calls and emails for weeks--or ever, in the case of one professor--making a commitment then breaking it at the last minute, changing their story, etc, etc. The administrative offices, on the other hand, were professional and prompt in their communications.</p>
<p>CBK, do give a final update when D decides. Unfortunately your story is not unique. There was another CC thread by a young person last year who was rejected by all colleges on the basis of a transcript mess-up at HS. After reading that, and knowing what can go wrong at D's HS, I got real involved in her apps. GC's get sick, get involved with troublemaking kids, go out on leave for before major college deadlines (speaking from experience here too). Transcripts say Spanish instead of French and F instead of A. To get an official transcript, we paid for one in case we needed to FedEx it to the ED school. Disaster almost struck when ACT scores were lost in the mail, fortunately, act.org had proof of sending and we had an official copy, ED school allowed it to be faxed from HS but not from our fax. D had a substitute GC who knew her not at all. It could have been a disaster right there, but I told the GC there were special things he would not know so I wrote them for him to use in his rec. He wanted me to see what he wrote, since he didn't know the kids in his charge and wanted to help them get into college. One more thing we did- we gave the teachers envelopes to seal with D's name on them but no college address; that way we made sure we sent them to ED college, with delivery confirmation. Parents of juniors: just a few things you might want to do next year to help your child.
(yes, D did get into ED school).</p>
<p>Also want to echo that UMD is a pretty campus and PG County is not the inner city, seriously! Am from Murlin' too, Bawlmer to be exact.</p>
<p>NJ_mother, you left out a "hon." :-)</p>
<p>Oh gee!!!!!!!</p>
