UMD Transfer Spring 2016

Hello Everyone.

I know a lot of people will apply to transfer to University Of Maryland College Park for Spring 2016.

Use this thread to tell as your stats, where you are transferring from, and later, whether you were accepted or denied.

We’re all anxious to know whether we’ll be terps in the spring. Goodluck to ALL!

I think it’s a tad bit too early for this but thanks for making the thread I’ve been waiting for something like this!

@mdpeezy The priority deadline is August 1st so its not too far off.

@mdpeezy I guess its only me on this site…

@ewskater haha i just turned in my application like 2 weeks ago. and my transcript last week and the site still says they dont have my transcript yet which worries me a bit

@mdpeezy Hopefully they receive it in the next two days! What’s your stats looking like- if you don’t mind sharing?

@ewskater 3.44 gpa, 36 credits, and then this fall im still in school so itll be 51 credits. and i have some volunteering and a job on my resume. how long did it take for your transcript to get there?
also i made a post about this earlier this month, but there is that thing on the application website that says things will be considered priority as long as they are sent by november 1st or something?

oh also im in state and i have the fund. english requirement and i think i have a fund. math done as well i dont have calc ((taking it in the fall)) but im pretty sure the math i have taken counts.

@mdpeezy we have very similar stats except I don’t have the fundamental math completed- I’m taking it in fall. And my transcript took about a week and a half to show up in the website. Also about the NOV 1st, I’m pretty sure that only pertains to freshman priority applications.

@ewskater hm its been exactly a week and the website still says not received so im thinking im going to drive down and just hand the transcript to the office in person.
haha it honestly seems like were the only two people applying this spring

@mdpeezy Yea, better safe than sorry- because the prority deadline can defintley be a dealbreaker for acceptance!
Hopefully we can both pull through this haha

@mdpeezy also you could try calling up there first to see if they received it and just didn’t update it yet online?

Did any of you guys receive a decision??? But I think it’s too early???

@dreamadream gotta wait until October unfortunately.

guys, need help with scholarships and grants!! where can I find them??

@gunnerforlife umd based scholarships or any scholarship??

Guys, looking to find off campus/on campus housing on the cheaper side. what do you guys suggest? Anyone need a roommate or willing to find something super cheap for the spring semester?

@gunnerforlife I have been looking for reasonable housing myself. I looked a little into parkside apartments for an off campus choice. But of course, this only matters if I actually get accepted to the school…

@gunnerforlife Your best bet for cheap housing is probably renting a room in a house off campus (that’s what I am doing now). Most of the apartment complexes (like the Varsity, View, Parkside, etc.) charge like 700-800 a month (or more) plus you have to pay to park there plus you have to pay to do laundry and such. I pay $450 a month and i get free parking and an in house washer/dryer. if you go to umd’s och website you can search a database to find a lot of great options!

good luck with applying/transferring!! I’m happy to help if you have any questions

Can anyone chance me, Im nervous about my decision.
