Rejected for CS. OOS 4.0 and 1470 SAT. 6 APs and all honor classes. NHS and lots of clubs and activities.

We applied for CS but it just says admitted to Carillon Communities and at the bottom the advising college is Letters and Sciences. What does that mean?

For those saying direct admit…does it say anything beyond the major?

For my daughter it says:
Major: Education: Elementary Education (Pre) (0802L)
Advising College: Education

Does this mean direct admit?

Direct admit only applies to limited enrollment programs like CS, business, neuroscience, etc. where some students have to pass gateway requirements to get into the major in the 2nd year.

That means you did not receive a direct admission into your (LEP) major. You will need to meet gateway requirements to get into the major later. Details are available on UMD’s website.

I’m working with a student who got in for spring (freshman connection), OOS. Has anyone had any luck appealing this decision with updated grades and test scores after being offered for spring? She is trying to walk on to an athletic team and timing of freshman connection classes may not work well. TIA

You may have been deferred.

Good luck! And let us know.
