@Goldendaisies7 What should we do now?

Can anyone explain why aerospace engineering as a major has an *? Does that mean conditional acceptance? Or does it mean that it’s a limited program? Thanks!

In state, accepted into Letters and Sciences, not Computer Science, but also accepted into College Park Scholars. Not sure what the message is there…

@BigDawgDoodImABigDawg - My daughter said that although her counselor posted her transcript to the Coalition website, it still showed that her application was incomplete. She emailed her admissions counselor and he told her that she had to go on coalition and add the transcript to her application. I’m assuming that documents posted by counselors are not automatically added to the application (which is idiotic). So now, as far as UMD is concerned, daughter didn’t get all of her application materials in on time.
