Does anyone know if Maryland gives merit to OOS admitted students? And if so, what is the general criteria?
Yes, UMD gives merit scholarships to OOS admitted students and no one on here knows what their criteria are. In past years numerous OOS students have reported, on here, that they got scholarships.
They definitely do give merit scholarships to OOS students. I have no idea what their criteria are. But, if you think in terms of an admissions officer trying to lure a student towards UMD and away from other schools that the student may have also gotten into that might make them change their mind about coming to UMD, I’m sure you can theorize what they may be looking for.
How and when do you find out about merit?
Notices are sent out by mail and will probably start in another week or so.
thanks!
