<p>You just got it today? Did you apply regular decision or early action? I didn’t know they were still giving those out. Did you call them? Sorry for the abundance of question but I was also looking to receive a scholarship from UMD, but have not received anything.</p>
<p>BK scholarships just went out. The rest of the scholarships (besides departmental) pretty much all went out.</p>
<p>Ok thanks. If you didn’t get any general scholarships, do you think there is any chance that you will get departmental scholarships?</p>
<p>I don’t really know, but it does depend on the department.</p>
<p>So…I’ll very possibly be a Terp next year.
I was just awarded the full scholarship.</p>
<p>Gina…CONGRATULATIONS!!! WOW!!! YOU MUST BE THRILLED!!!</p>
<p>Thank you so much. Yeah, I still can’t believe it.

<p>12k/yr for me. Got the letter today. A disappointing end to a really crappy week for me.</p>
<p>rschlegel420…why disappointed to get $12K/yr??<br>
Below is what got me admission to Honors/Gemstone AND a nifty merit of $1500 for just a single year, which comes out annualized to $375/yr. WOO-HOO…still unsure of how to spend it all!</p>

<p>Ds received his letter and certificate today…</p>
<p>~~~~FULL BANNEKER/KEY SCHOLARSHIP
<p>Awesome! Congratulations!</p>
<p>Congrats!!!</p>
<p>Thanks! We are so excited for him!</p>
<p>Nice Jewels!
Mind if I ask for stats? In or OOS? Heritage, etc?</p>
<p>Yeah, got the full ride!!!</p>
<p>Congratulations Collegebound!!! Still doin’ the happy dance here!!</p>
<p>jomass,</p>
<p>We are OOS, fantastic stats, great heritage!! Hate to be vague, but DS finds requests for stats and heritage invasive. </p>
<p>Congratulations to everyone receiving B/K awards!!</p>
<p>S1 got a full ride. But, we are sure 99% that we will decline it. I hope this allows another really deserving excellent candidate to get this wonderful opportunity.</p>
<p>Congrats to all!!</p>
<p>I can certainly understand your frustration, jomass, believe me. I got invited to the B/K for UMd, to give you an idea of my stats, and got a paltry $1200/yr from ohio st (i’m from ohio). It can be upsetting to see people from OOS get the $7200/yr national buckeye scholarship when i got next to nothing. But at the same time, the 12k from maryland doesn’t even offset OOS tuition, which could be a problem for me. </p>
<p>Had I recieved the full scholarship, I was almost definitely attending UMd. But now, needless to say, I’ve got alot more to consider before I make any decision. </p>
<p>And ginab591, I am a he. I appreciate your insightful and p.c. post. lol</p>
<p>Haha sorry about that. I saw your name and thought ‘Rachel’ for some reason. </p>
<p>Congrats to collegebound and hyeonjee!</p>
<p>So, anybody now having to choose between UMD for free and a big name school for definitely not free?</p>
