@SoofDad ahh thank you! So excited!!
What are the number of students admitted to honors and scholars programs approximately?
I got admitted spring can someone explain this and the freshman acceptance program
So i got into FIRE (for computer science) but didn’t get into scholars or honors. I’m OOS so I was wondering if FIRE is worth it. Does anyone know how selective it is or if there are any positives to the program (besides the research opportunities they briefly mentioned). Also is it possible to become an honors student later on?
@Blakerose55 - Here is a thread from last year. I hope it helps.
@student312 My OOS son is in CS and got offered FIRE as well. Surprised that he didn’t get Honors or Scholars based on the stats reported by those who got in. His main stats: GPA 3.97 and ACT 34.
Mind sharing yours?
Wahoo! Rejected today!
So I’m wondering if it’s worth continually refreshing the page and getting nothing but application submitted. I doubt they are posting anything this late.
The application status does not change. If you scroll down, there is a new link at the bottom of the freshman application section. That is where you decision is.
@durna01
WGPA: 4.1
ACT: 35
Essay + recs were really good and my ECs were very CS oriented
@student312 Seems to me you should’ve got Honors or Scholars. I wonder if those programs are heavily slanted towards in-state students.
If you got accepted into scholars, do you have to accept the invitation? If so, by when?
Accepted with Honors College Invite! OOS 108/100 WGPA, 35 ACT, 1540 SAT, 11 APs
I checked every page on my application portal. There’s no decision. Is anyone else STILL having difficulties like I am?
Got accepted into computer science. No mention of any other programs, though. Does anyone know when merit scholarship decisions come out?
Is there a chance of being invited to Honors or Scholars after 1-May, if students who were offered now didn’t join UMD?
@Mcris1027 and @powerrangers20 … are you sure your are scrolling down far enough because the application status still says submitted but farther down on the page underneath the other supporting documents sections there is a line with a link that says your application decision is ready for review and you have to click on it.
There is no link at the bottom of my page. The application was completed on 10/25. I’m really frustrated
@kraw44 there is definitely not a link.
Four years ago I was a NewHokieMom, now I’m a NewTerpMom! Son accepted and invited to FIRE program. I had never heard of it. For those of you wondering what it is, check it out. It’s VERY cool if you have a bent toward research. They accept 450 freshmen into the program. You can also apply, but only after those extended the invitation accept or not - that is in May. My son is very excited about it!
