just got an application fee refund????

hey everyone!
i was hoping someone who knows about UMD could help explain this letter i just got. it’s an invoice from the office of the bursar, and is a $65 credit for “prior balance/undergraduate application fee.” there’s no explanation and i’m worried they think i withdrew my application or something?? i applied early and am in-state.
thanks!

Are u a national merit scholar? No worries about school thinking u withdrew…mostly likely u earned/qualified for a rebate of your application fee. You can call the bursur and they can give u specifics of why u got refund.

Just call them. It wont jeopardize your application.

I applied to UMD out of HS (for fall 2015) and got accepted. I got a similar letter after I was accepted. I think if you’re accepted they credit you the money back! Hopefully thats your case! Good Luck!

called the office and it was because of national merit! thanks for the advice everyone :slight_smile:

Congratulations!
