University of Maryland-College Park Class of 2021 Discussion

Digsarethebest I tried to reply but I couldn’t due to your settings

I haven’t received my admissions decision yet. My portal says my app was “submitted” and it’s complete. Is anyone else having this problem?!?!?!?

Yes, getting frustrated!!! What do we do

@powerrangers20 i am having the same problem

Are you both out of state? @collegee1234 @hif123

Pagirl.my daughter is a criminology major. She was able to take the 4 classes needed to get accepted into her LEP. She got a 3.85 gpa and is officially in. There are students who were regular fall admits who couldn’t get into these 4 classes so are now behind her

Do you think my application will get rescinded? I got a C in Honors Trig first quarter, and a C in AP Bio and Honors Physics for second.

My daughter did too! Will you be attending UMD? My daughter is waiting for wake forest, UVA, Tulane, Villanova and william and Mary. How competitive is this FIRE program?@shadyrai

Admissions to a LEP and Admissions to Honors or Scholars are Completely separate decisions, made by different Admission Committees.

Well, Deferred here. At least it’s not an outright rejection, but I hate to wait 2 more months for an actual decision. The wait had already been excruciating.
Can’t say I’m surprised they want to see my Senior year grades though, due to:
3.13 UW GPA
3.71 W GPA
But I was hoping I would just slide right in. Damn you Freshman Year (;-:wink:
I guess I’ll ask this now

Sat - 1470
In state student
3.75 UW GPA and 4.25 W GPA my first semester of senior year (As has been the trend since Freshman year)
Good essay and Great recommendations (thinking about getting another one just for a little extra since I got deferred)

Do you guys think I have a chance for my deferred decision?

@powerrangers20 yes from NJ

@powerrangers20 I am in state :confused:

@collegee1234 @hif123 Were your teacher recommendations submitted as "official supporting documents"on your portal?

Accepted to Freshman Connection/Spring 2018 semester as a OOS, priority applicant! I submitted my application on October 27th.

What constitutes a Spring 2018 acceptance / Freshman Connection offer? Is it due to being undecided or having stats that are on the weaker side?

Oh yeah. I got accepted with a 3.39, in-state

Jozuko…you would take the CS FC classes. Try checking out fall 2016 classes for UMD. The FC classes are listed at the end. They are just open to FC students and are smaller number wise. The classes run from 3pm to 845. There are Friday classes that run all day. My daughter didn’t feel any different at all and absolutely loved not getting up until noon every day. The dinning hall and gym are going strong late at night. Her whole floor was FC so it was very quiet in the morning. Kids on her floor Rushed, went to games and did everything the other students did exept ay D1 sports

@powerrangers20 Nope. A lot of my friends have heard back that are from my school, so I do not understand why I haven’t.

When does scholarship info come out???

For those of you who were offered Spring admission and Freshman Connection, FRESHMAN CONNECTION is a no brainer. My son did it and loved it. The program makes it so easy to transition – and the difference between FC students and regular Fall students is that your classes are in the afternoon. The classes tend to be smaller which is a good thing. You can do everything everyone else can do except play D1 sports. You live in the dorms, eat in the cafeteria, have the same professors, graduate the same time. If you want to go to UMD, FC is the best possible thing to do!

Any abnormalities with your application at all? I can’t think of any for mine @hif123
