<p>Hello everyone!
So I heard a rumor that Maryland takes almost all of their kids from their priority applications in November, and only like 10 percent in January-so it would be like REALLY heard to get in if you apply in January.
Is that true?
I want to apply in January and already missed the November deadline, so I'm wondering if it's worth it at all.</p>
<p>I doubt that’s the statistic it actually is, but the priority application is used by everyone because there’s no restriction like ED and the benefits are so much more. </p>
<p>Remember, College Park, like any other college, has a limited slot for the class of 2015. If they’re looking at your application from the January pool, chances, are, there aren’t many spots left.</p>
<p>so is it still worth applying since I can’t make the Nov deadline?</p>
<p>eafp668 - what you have said is true - I heard it from a Maryland rep last year. Still - if you missed November 1 - go ahead and apply RD. You still have a chance - if you don’t apply you will never know.</p>
<p>grr! Is this same statistic true with most colleges?</p>
<p>I don’t think it is. Maryland is kind of unique in its priority application. “Most colleges” offer ED and EA if not rolling admissions, so that statistic may not apply.</p>
