I assumed they mailed the letters on Monday, since that’s when the emails went out. But they may not have gotten them into the mail until Tuesday. I checked D2’s envelope, and it says it was mailed first class, but it doesn’t have a postmark.
I’m also in central MD and haven’t received anything
D received the package today. We are a less than 10 miles from CP.
Was wondering, what is better, Honors or Scholars?
Yea I got the email
Ok, I got accepted into UMD as a Computer Science major, and I got into the Honors College (I’m going for ACES), but I’m wondering about the scholarship? Would I have heard back online at the same time about the scholarship or not? I haven’t gotten my thing in the mail yet, would it be in that instead? I’m out of state. Would that disqualify me for the scholarship?
@Tiger528 Out of state students are eligible for some scholarships and not others. Fortunately, Banneker-Key is one of the scholarships they’re eligible for.
You’ll find much more information here:

Last year, Banneker-Key semi-finalists received emails on February 10th telling them to look out for something special in the mail. To my understanding, the email didn’t actually tell the students it was about B-K. The packet they received in the mail a few days later had the interview information, etc. Best of luck!
Admitted: girl OOS (California)
Major: Poly Sci
Invited to Honors.
SAT: 2120 CR:750 M:650 W:720
Cum. GPA: 4.28
Definitely one of my top choices, but still considering. Congratulations to everyone else accepted!!
what’s in the package they mail you? im all the way in california so i probably have to wait a while before it comes
Thanks, Arimom2! I’m in Georgia so it may be a little bit longer. The wait on all these colleges is really getting to me!
I live about 45 minutes away from the school and I still have not received anything in the mail; hoping it comes on Monday! :!!
We live 45 mins away, too, but son received his package on Weds. However, it said nothing about admission to Smith. Online acceptance letter did indicate Smith as advising college, so we assume he’s in Smith. Maybe LEP admission comes in a separate letter?
@himymlover, the package includes a copy of your acceptance letter, a terp magnet, and an open house invite.
@Senior333 Anyone can do study abroad the summer before first semester:

Theres info about during the first semester as well…
Anyone get the mail from MA yet??
@Arlmom2 by email did you mean email saying decisions were up on the portal? My decision was on the portal only
Yes, @r1111j I meant the email saying that the decisions were up on the portal. D2 received that on Monday, but didn’t receive her packet until yesterday (Friday). And we’re “OOS”, but only about 20 miles away from College Park.
Nothing in MA today. Which town r1111j?
Just got envelope yesterday (Saturday) and I’m in Georgia.
also is it true that if you accept now, you won’t be considered for scholarships?
