<p>SO.... I know a lot of people applied to transfer to UMD for Fall 2012.</p>

<p>We're all anxious to know whether we'll be terps this fall. It's a waiting game, so why not share with each other and ease the process. </p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>Hello there!</p>
<p>I also happen to know A LOT of people applying for Fall 2012 transfer admission to UMD. It is going to be very competitive this time around.</p>

<h2>2nd Semester should be 3.8-4.0. Hopefully would help with an appeal.</h2>
<p>I am well aware that I am a long shot. I was denied last year so I am preparing myself for rejection #2. You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take though! </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Hey everyone. I just reapplied to the UMD CP this past February. I was denied admission the first time I believe due to not having enough credits to be considered as a transfer. However, I have now completed 37 credits in my current institution (including transfer credits: 50). I am now working on an additional 18 credits, so I will leave my Sophomore year with 55 credits (68 including transfer credits). My cumulative GPA is pretty low at a 3.39. However, it would be higher because certain classes are weighted more than others. I have not received any grade below a B. </p>
<p>I’m hoping that I will have a much better chance of getting in since I have completed more hours and have been involved in many extra curricular activities over the past few semesters. Has anyone received an admissions decision yet? I know last year they released them before mid-April. </p>
<p>Good luck! </p>
<p>P.S. Let me know if you receive an acceptance letter.</p>
<p>Hi guys,</p>
<p>Has anyone heard back yet? I’m graduating from a community college in Maryland this Spring with 70 credits and a 3.4 GPA. Should I be expecting to hear back the first week of April?</p>
<p>Im glad some people are sharing with us on this thread!!</p>
<p>But no, i havent heard back yet.
They say decisions will be known towards the end of April!</p>
<p>Good luck guys!!!</p>
<p>Do you guys think I have a good chance.
I don’t have my full stats:
3.18 GPA in high school.
3 in AP Chem took 4 AP classes total.
Plenty of Honor classes.
1560 SAT (My math was high, but my writing score brought me down.)
For CC:
3.8 GPA first semester with Dean’s list.</p>
<p>I taught just having a 3.8 GPA in CC would definitely get me in, but looking at the recent posts it does not appear like I have that great of a chance.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I hope I have a chance at getting in. </p>

<p>I have a whole bunch of credit hours. Didn’t count them lol
GPA: 3.7 UW</p>
<p>UMD is my top choice. I hope to get in the mechanical engineering program. </p>
<p>Guys, I wish we all got accepted and then laughed at how nervous we were. 
Good luck, everyone!</p>
<p>I was accepted as a transfer to the UMD for Fall 2012. I received the email today. I am extremely excited because I was so nervous after seeing the stellar stats of some of you guys!!!</p>
<p>congrats what were your stas melacholy?</p>
<p>Female</p>
<p>Michigan State GPA: 2.9 (Upward Trend. Freshman Year was not my best) I’m originally from NYC and went to MSU for two years. Then I got an internship with Dept of Vet Affairs last summer. They offered me a year round position but I was already planning not to return to MSU because of the cost. Plus I fell in love with D.C. I applied to Montgomery CC because my job required that I was a student for my appointment. GPA from MCC 3.0 (classes- not hard at all) I was working full time.</p>
<p>Why I was accepted? IDK…It was the only school I wanted to go to and applied to in the area because I don’t like colleges in the city and I wanted a school similar to MSU because I love that school. </p>
<p>I had my 2 profs from MSU write me letters of rec
My employer who is an alum wrote me a rec as well and my mentor
Essay: Spoke about education and the importance and why I messed up freshman year</p>
<p>Founder of women empowerment club on MSU campus
Held a position with Student Gov</p>
<p>I have so much more to add but that’s about it for me! I think they def noticed that I am more than a GPA and Test score, which was exactly what I wanted my essay, resume, and recommendations to show. Maybe being a student at MC helped!! Who knows!</p>
<p>Well I was not as lucky, and I was rejected. I really wanted to get accepted and UMD was the only school I applied to. Do you guys think I should appeal the decision; I mailed them about it awhile ago.</p>
<p>Thanks melancholy!</p>
<p>@syed its worth a shot. What were your stats? Transfer?</p>
<p>Hey Guys!</p>
<p>Where do i check to see if i was accepted or not??</p>
<p>Hello Bluemoon89, To check your admission decision please visit the following website: </p>
<p>[University</a> of Maryland - New Online Application](<a href=“http://www.admissions.umd.edu/apply/hobsons.cfm]University”>http://www.admissions.umd.edu/apply/hobsons.cfm)</p>
<p>You can view the decision through the application portal. I hope this helps. Thank you.</p>
<p>They would have sent an email regarding about the decision.</p>
<p>I got accepted!</p>
<p>In-state
3.35 GPA Community College
3.74 GPA High School Unweighted
1210 SAT
28 ACT
Wrote a very emotional essay (This essay got me scholarships before)
Wish everyone who is stilling waiting for their decisions the best and congrats to those who also got accepted!</p>
<p>nice! How many credits did you had, Dukefool? What was the emotional essay you wrote about? I hope that it was relevant in what UMD was asking in the application regarding the transfer essay.</p>
<p>I had 17 credits with 1 AP credit. I wrote about how my parents came to the US and how I want to excel academically to repay the sacrifices they made. I know that its very emotional because everyone that has read it said it was very deep.</p>
<p>Awesome. Again, Dukefool, congrats on your acceptance to the University of Maryland.</p>
