<p>Why did I get accepted out of state for William & Mary, but my admission to the University of Maryland as an in state resident was delayed until the spring semester? University of Maryland was my top choice by the way.</p>
<p>Play soccer and basketball
National Honor Society
Student government
30 hours of community service/year
Worked two jobs during the summer</p>
<p>-Although my teacher recommendations were incredible, I will be the first to admit that I did not take much time on the UMD essay, but would that be the difference?</p>
<p>That could be it. By slacking off on the essay, maybe the figured that you considered them to be your safety, and thus, had no qualms deferring you.</p>
<p>call them up, see if there was a mistake somehow on your app. Somewhere on this board someone advised saying you knew someone with lower stats getting in but i don't know if that would help. as bad as it sounds just go to a community college for one semester and tranfer. UMCP is getting harder for OOS students. Also your decision could be based on the major but i don't see why they would do that....</p>
<p>University of Maryland was not my top choice though, I was saying that the day after I got my letter and I was somewhat upset. I thought that if I didn't get into MD in state, then some of the other colleges I applied to would have been even harder for me to get into.</p>
