does anyone know when will i be able to see my financial aid reward?
Hi Guys I am non-resident n just got my acceptance letter today. How do we know if we are accepted to our first choice major though? My first choice was chemical engineering with physics being second.
@nikkijoon Same here. Except I applied to Smith School of Business. Kinda of hard to believe none of us are getting into our desired programs. I am going to give admissions a call tomorrow to see if there is a second decision from the colleges after reviewing students transcripts
@Tanasta at the bottom of your acceptance letter it should say your advising college. If it’s Clark school of engineering, you got into chemical engineering
Who should I contact if I want to change my major?
UMD said they want to see my mid-semester grades before I get in–SO, not accepted YET.
I have been at a Virginia CC for 2 full semesters and I am in my third. I have had all A’s-- a straight 4.0 throughout. 2 of my classes ended so far (1st half semester classes) I got A’s in both, so the new transcript will have 2 new grades.
I applied as an international student. Do you guys think I’ll get in?
@JmColeman09 and @nikkijoon have you heard back on anything? I also applied to the Smith School and was placed in LTSC but have all the gateways completed and a 3.85 GPA. Not sure if this means I will have a greater chance of being accepted if i applied as an internal transfer again for Spring if they placed all Fall 2016 transfers who applied for LEPs in LTSC.
@terps4life I fired off an email last night to the Smith school and I also tried calling admissions this morning but the lines were busy. I will call again later today before their offices close. However, I did ask around on reddit and a few students said when they transferred they also got placed in LTSC and didn’t know if they were in Smith until July/August. In a couple of their cases they were in the process of completing a gateway course and had to send an end of semester transcript, so their situation is different from ours. But, this does mean that there is a course evaluation process that occurs after general admissions which is good to know.
Just checked again and my admission decision was updated. It now says Accounting - Smith School of Business! So I advise everyone who’s looking to get into their LEP to keep checking. Good luck!
@JmColeman09 was it updated on your acceptance letter online where it previous read LTSC? When you sent them the e-mail last night, could you share what you told/asked them?
I’m hoping my decision get updated as well but want to ensure our situations are somewhat similar in that i completed all the gateway courses with As and have a GPA of 3.85?
@terms4life Yes it was updated on my acceptance letter online where it previously stated LTSC. I also completed all the gateway courses. In addition I am transferring from a MD CC with a 4.0 and an Associates. I believe it will be very likely you will get acceptance. I also asked yesterday over Twitter and they replied today saying Smith decisions will be out within the next few days. So keep checking your online acceptance because I didn’t receive an email notifying me it changed.
@JmColeman09 I see, our situations are very similar then. I will definitely have to keep checking then! Hopefully I’ll get good news just like you did, but strange that you didn’t get an email letting you know it changed, seems like it’s important enough to disclose. I wouldn’t have known Smith decisions weren’t out otherwise without checking this page. Since yours changed already, and they said it will be released within the next few days, hoping it’s a steady stream of releases.
Anyone having trouble setting passwords for their directory ID to check financial aid?
They told me that no ones financial aid has been downloaded yet and that we should wait at least 1-2 more weeks
Did anyone attend the Admitted Student Open House today?
Other than @JmColeman09 has anyone else gotten a Smith Business School decision or seen their status change?
Does anyone here know if were supposed to get physical copies of our acceptance letter in the mail?
@LustinJack12 Yes, I got mine in the mail today.
@Rluna25520 weird I didn’t get mines, do you live in maryland and if so which city? Also does the letter contain anything else other than the acceptance letter?
@cammiekohl hmm it says letter and science… this is really weird. I emailed the admission for clarification a couple days ago… but they haven’t responded yet. I hate them. They are super slow to respond. Well I got accepted to a better engineering school anyway so no worries so far…
