I got invited to the selection weekend at Meyerhoff and I have no idea what to expect.
What happens during the selection weekend and what is expected of me?
I also have a question about placement tests. I didn’t do so well on the algebra portion, but I did very well on the calculus. If I got a 5 on the calculus portion, does that cancel out my score for the algebra? Do I still place in to calculus?
Selection weekend is a weekend at either end of February or beginning of March where you will come to UMBC.
You will live with freshmen Meyerhoffs and participate in social activities/interviews. This is the chance for Meyerhoff staff to evaluate the student’s personality, not necessarily their academic power (that is what got them the invitation to Selection Weekend.)
The placement test does not have Calculus section. If you got 5 on AP Calculus you do not need to take Math placement, and similar as get 5 in AP Lang, not need to take English Placement.
If you get a 5 on the calculus portion I think you still place into algebra. Maybe call them to see how your scores determine where you’re placed.
Rookie56 it might have changed since you took it, you can only be exempted from the reading section now. Math now has a calculus section, and there is no way to test out from math and English
Sorry didn’t quite tag you, but what I said above
Have you heard from them yet?
