Spring 2016 Transfer Requirements

[mdpeezy]

alrighty so i was on the umd website, and on the side of the application page and this is what i read "Due to the high volume of applications and supporting materials submitted to our office we ask for your patience in allowing documents to be matched. Receipt of documents can be confirmed on the document tracking area of the application page. Documents will be matched as soon as possible but no later than November 24th. As long as your documents are submitted by November 1st, your application will be considered for priority consideration. "

so the ending of that about the documents- does this actually mean that i could possibly send in my transcript after the august 1st deadline and i would still be in the clear for priority?

im mostly asking because im taking a summer class that could bring up my gpa, and it would be great if i could include it in my application.

Unfortunately from what I have been told from calling the admissions office is that all supporting documents such as a transcript must be submitted and received by the priority deadline in order to be considered for priority. I had the same issue for the fall transfer deadline and had to apply regular. Keisha Bates is a transfer counselor at UMD and she was very helpful through the application process for me. I would recommend emailing her and maybe explaining to her your situation and see if they can make an exception. Her email is kbates2@umd.edu. Good luck!
