Recently got accepted. I received an email from MHEC about a scholarship yesterday. Had to sign up and choose UMD as the school I would attend to accept the offer. It surprised me and I did not know about it but I assume it has something to do with a 3.5+ GPA so they should be sending emails to others
@jgresh have you heard anything from umd yet? Have all my stuff, everything was confirmed twice by the counselors, and still no decision.
Yes, I went to the admissions office and talked to one of the transfer counselors. They told me it would take 7 to 10 business days to get a result. However, the next day I got the email saying I was admitted.
Does anyone know how to check which credits transfer? I got accepted last week and I’m still deciding whether or not I should transfer to UMD.
Any international student accepted into CS?
@jgresh ugh so frustrated. As of today still no word and am out of state. I guess I’ll go in as soon as I land. Thanks for the reply and congratulations!
@climbk2 I am international and didnt get their decision yet. Did you transfer from another country? I think you are waiting for purdue and umdcp both schools just like me.
@dtaaaa I am currently studying in the us, would you like to share your contact? Yes i am waiting for both the decisions
did you get admitted?
Yes
The umd website says we need an SID (for international students) to create a directory ID. How do we know our SID?
After going in to talk to a counselor, I got my acceptance letter a few hours later. I will be majoring in computer science. For future applicants here are my stats:
HS
GPA: 2.91
SAT: 1160
tons of exra curriculars
internship with cyber security company
Anne Arundel Community College
MTAP(not guaranteed admission because i have less than 30 credits)
19 credits completed (14 in progress)
great application essay
GPA: 3.65
Applied for priority decision but did not receive a decision when everyone else did, after numerous phone calls I went to campus to talk to a transfer counselor. They submitted it for review and just got my decision and got admitted. If you are still waiting for a decision I highly encourage you to visit the campus and speak to a counselor to expedite the process.
has anyone gotten their letter in the mail yet?
Hey guys, I’ve been accepted into UMD College Park! I was asking the same questions you guys were about when they would get to me. I’ve heard from friends who attend UMD that their responses are very slow because of their pool of applicants and other issues. If you haven’t heard, call incessantly. That’s what I did and they changed their response depending on who i asked from mid-April to late April. I received my decision letter on the 24th of April. Did anyone else get theirs around the same time?
Congratulations to all those who have been accepted and those who applied!
I was emailed my letter. It never came in the mail, I’m not sure if they do letters anymore?
how do we know if we get any scholarship money?
@pccolunga Hey, I think that you’d have to ask financial aid depending on the scholarship you applied for.
@Marpi123 Oh. I thought we were given automatic consideration for aid becaue we applied by priority.
