2

Applying Early Action since I know that there is a big difference between EA and RD for UMD

3

First Choice Major is Business: Finance which is a Limited Space Program if it makes any difference with Economics being the second choice major

4

Safety.

But you are correct, don’t miss the EA deadline - because if you do, then it’s unlikely.

Good luck. And congrats on your wonderful accomplishments.

5

What are my chances for Honors College and Merit Scholarships?

6

I think you have a good chance about both honors and merit, or at least scholars and merit.

7

You will likely get Honors. If not Honors, Scholars which is great but I think Honors.

Merit at UMD is tough - so you might get a little.

Short of the top prize, I don’t believe there’s much - but being in state, you’ll get a great deal at a great school either way.

If you get merit or Banneker Key, it’s a bonus.

8

question - anyone out here know when UMD is releasing transfer decisions for spring 2022 - can’t find any forums on it.
