If your major is listed as Computer Science in the decision letter, you’re a direct admit. Else it’ll say Letters & Sciences.

Admitted, and invited to Honors College.

Congratulations, you’re #NowATerp! I’m thrilled to offer you admission to the University of Maryland (UMD) and
invite you to the Honors College for the Fall 2023 semester. Your academic achievements, talents and experiences set
you apart from a particularly impressive group of applicants.

My first choice was CS and second was Information Science. Since the decision does not mention anything, does it mean that i got into CS?

Look all the way at the bottom of the letter. It’ll state the major you’re admitted into.

Since you got the honors invite I’m pretty sure you’re a direct admit.

Congratulations!
