Why you think you were accepted/rejected:
Honors, Gemstone : NONE (not even scholars)
Going to attend: Doubtful, Particularly since she got a $15K/year scholarship from UM- Baltimore County. </p>
<p>Based on what the websit for honors statistics says (WGPA 4.25 and SAT 1370-1460), thought will get into Honors. No invitation to Scholars even. Surprise, surprise!</p>
<p>Update. D's guidance office called UMD about her not having been asked to Honors. They looked into it and she's now been asked. It's not clear to me if there was an error the first time around or if they reviewed her file again. Either way, she's happy.</p>
<p>That's great. They probably don't know how it happened either. It was clear, though, that your daughter certainly qualified, based on her stats. I'm glad they did the right thing!!!! Thanks for the update!</p>
<p>same thing happened with my friend. prolly the smartest kid I know. 2/594 1470, and he didn't get in honors, so he sent in a letter, and they let him in.</p>
