I learned something new today from our college counselor. For students admitted to spring, their gpa and test scores are not factored in the fall admission data. This information goes into the common data set. Roughly 4,000 offers are for spring.
I havent and i live about 30 minutes away from UMD @katmac1998
We didn’t get anything yet
what is maryland admissions office number
Normally I would suggest that you use Google to find it, but I know from experience that it’s difficult to locate on their website. (It’s in tiny print on the bottom of the main undergraduate admissions page.)
301.314.8385/ 800.422.5867
When will RD decisions start coming up?
No snail mail admissions letter received here yet. We live in Maryland. I keep expecting it!
Do you have to have committed to Maryland to fill out the Program Preference Program for Scholars? I’ve heard rumors that you don’t have to, but I want to be sure before I do it (still choosing between UMD and another school). Is there anywhere on the Scholars website that indicates that you do not have to commit before doing the form?
@yourstrulyjune - You do not have to commit to UMD to complete the Scholars Preference form. Committing to UMD involves the payment of a $400 enrollment fee. There is NO fee required for the Preferenc , nor for the Housing form.
Curious: My son still hasn’t received anything via snail mail from UMD regarding his acceptance. He is accepted, he saw that online, but I guess I thought he would also be receiving something in the mail.
Am I wrong?
We are MD residents.
@vandygrad87 We are OOS and having gotten anything either. They were releasing priority decisions throughout all of last week, so I am simply assuming that letters will go out some time this week.
Thank you @Nerdmom88!
I’m in state as well and I’m still waiting. Very excited to have the actual letter. @vandygrad87
We are in state and my daughter hasn’t received a letter either. One friend has but the rest have not.
@gtb1 do you know when her friend received a letter? I’m waiting on mine.
Guess we are all in good company, huh? My DS made Honors College but to my knowledge did not receive an email about the BK scholarship. He is very excited either way. I wonder if you all will be classmates? So exciting!
As I recall, the snail mail that you get is just an exact duplicate of what you saw online. There may have been a sticker included.
@vandygrad87 Congrats on your son making Honors! I got admitted into my selected major CS as well as into the FIRE program. Hope to see your son at UMD soon!!! Hopefully, I can get some decent $$ from merit scholarships lol
Yoohoo- I hope you get the money too! Congrats on your acceptance and the FIRE program. It sounds amazing.
Thanks! :). Good luck!
