Looking to transfer to UMD in the Spring from Chesapeake College. I am taking the required college level math class this summer, unfortunately the class doesn’t end until 8/3, does this mean I cannot apply for priority decision Spring 2018? If not, how much lower are my chances when applying for regular decision? I will have 54 credits completed by the end of the summer and I will have another 6 credits by the end of Fall 2017. My GPA will be a 3.2 by the end of the summer.
Correction** 3.3 GPA by the end of the summer semester (8/3).
Also, does anyone know if college level statistics (STAT100 at UMD) will satisfy the math requirement for transfer students?
@brooke4998 - You can use the following link to enter your Community College and see what courses will transfer to UMD for credit.

I don’t know much about the Transfer application process, but it seems to me that you can apply by the priority deadline of August 1. You should call UMD admissions soon, since school ends for the summer next Friday and you can discuss your specific situation.
In another thread, you mentioned majoring in finance At UMD, the Smith School is the most competitive LEP that they have.
Good Luck
Cool I am also applying for the Spring 2018, we’ll see what happens
Chance me, please?
Stats:
School: Highline Community College (Washington State)
College GPA: 3.96
Major: Biology
Intended Major at UMD: General Biology
PTK member (not even sure if that will help me)
I have taken Chem and Bio series. For Math, I only took PreCalculus I (I did not take the PreCalc II, which is a prereq for Calculus in Washington)
I do not have SAT/ACT since I have more than 30 credits (I have 80 credits) and I graduated from high school in different country.
I am an Out-of-State transfer applicant. I just moved in to Maryland last first week of July.
EC: I do not have any extracurricular activities and/or job experiences because of personal reasons(not medical), making me just stay at home after school. But now I am motivated to do things related to medical field.
Awards: Outstanding Performance in Biology (I’m not sure how and why the science department selected me to receive that award among my other classmates)
I plan to complete my application for Spring 2018 on August 1 (last day for priority consideration) and I worry that I have a little chance of getting accepted since they prioritize Maryland residents coming from Maryland community college
