University of Maryland-College Park Class of 2021 Discussion

Accepted Scholars Biological Sciences 3.74 UW, 4.35 W, 1380/1600

Accepted to Scholars Program as an Engineering Major!
OOS NJ
ACT 34 GPA 4.3
Congrats to everyone!!

For those that got into FIRE what are your stats?

@collegegal2 @pagirl2017 if you applied for an LEP (Limited Enrollment Program) major, it’s pretty limited and they accept a certain amount of people for it. So if you didn’t get your major, they automatically put you in Letters and Sciences (undecided)

Accepted !!
In-state
WGPA: 4.26
UW GPA: 3.6
ACT: 33C 33E 33M 29R 36S

How do I know if I got into a scholars program?

letters and science is liberal arts.
mine is still not showing up??? help anyone

Letters & Sciences = Undecided. If you did not select undecided and chose an LEP, this comes up because you did not get admitted into it.

You’ll know if you got into Scholars / Honors if directly says in your letter (“You got into scholars / honors!” etc.)
You’ll also know if you got into an LEP (if you applied to one) by looking at the bottom of the letter

My daughter was accepted!!
OOS… African American
4.7 W GPA…AP and honors classes… 4 years of language, and all core classes
1150 SAT
An excessive amount of Leadership, extracurricular and volunteer activities

ACCEPTED AND IN HONORS!
35 ACT
1580 SAT
Whatever uw gpa is if you get one B+ and the rest A’s; at my school it’s 4.1. Congrats to everyone admitted!

Is there a difference between the scholars and honors program?

So so upset for my daughter. She has a 3.6 GPA, has taken 8 AP classes, two college course at the community college to compensate for her being a magnet program, where they prioritize the prime over academic classes, got a 1250 (I think) on the new SAT’s, (she’d have to confirm, upset and blanking now) has a volunteer gig at St. Joseph’s University of Maryland and got almost a full ride at UMBC. And she has a friend that got in for the spring semester with a 3.0. Way to congratulate and encourage hard work UMD. If she did not stress out on tests her GPA would be higher.

Got in to Honors College! OOS 33 ACT, 95.2/100 GPA
