Hello,
I’m a senior looking forward to apply to UMD College Park. This is my only school that doesn’t use Common App but requires a letter of recommendation. While the common app lets me submit the application and still lets my recommenders submit afterwards, I could not find any information on UMD’s application. Earlier this week I have sent their admissions office an email, but I haven’t received a reply yet. Please let me know if I can submit my application first, or if I should wait until all letters are in. Thank you!
@shiftdev - The order in which UMD receives application material is not important, as long as everything is received. The following link provides information about submitting application documents, including LORs
http://www.admissions.umd.edu/apply/submittingdocuments.php.
You should also use UMD’s Document Tracker to verify that all required documents were received…
I strongly encourage you to have all application material submitted by the Priority Deadline (Nov 1) for the reasons spelled out by @maryversity in the following thread.
