Do international students get merit scholarships?
Son applied CS, accepted to L&S. Invited to Carillon. I think I understand what the program is, but does anyone know if itâs competitive to get invited to?
Daughter got into Clark school of engineering, Comp Science. OOS. It didnât say he has honors . When we will find out. So any idea when we will know about merit scholarships?

He got an email to check his School of Music portal and there was a decision there.
In that email, they told him he will start the University in Fall 2023 so we got excited because he performs with the Baltimore Symphony Youth Orchestra and we knew of former players who got into the music school but NOT the university which meant they couldnât go.
Then, he went to his UMD portal and got a decision letter in there.
Did your son apply to the Music school directly. It has a separate application and process.

My daughters decision say she got accepted to Clark school of Engineering Comp sci thatâs it. Nothing else is mentioned.
I am answering my own question! Looks like Clark school of engineering has honors program available only for top twenty five percent of their classes available in 3rd year.
So my question is where do they live in first two years?

do you guys know what it means when your major has a star next to it in the acceptance letter? mine says âMajor: Government & Politics* (22070)â and I just canât seem to figure out why the star is there.
Does anyone know what was this yearâs EA acceptance rate?? I feel like I got accepted even tho I have a â â â â â â â â profile than most of those who got accepted lol. Maybe cuz I didnât apply for CS idk?
There is only so many spots, spring admits have the option to do freshman connection where they can live on campus in the fall and take classes they need. These classes are usually smaller and are later in the day. My son knows a lot of kids who were in FC and they all said it was great just because they could sleep in and just get acclimated earlier.

Did you check the portal as opposed to expecting an email?
Did you confirm that everything was received by 11/1, including test scores and any letters of recommendation?

Do the squares mean you think your profile was not as good as others?
Could be due to your county. I assume you donât live in the MCPS district.
Could be due to something they wanted to fill the classâgender, youâre a tuba player, you had an amazing story or essayâŠ
Two years ago my sons had a * and it meant nothing. I think itâs just the way it is in the system.
Congrats!

LLPs generally live in specific dorms but everyone else can live in any of those dorms as well. Itâs all randomly assigned although you minimize your change at triples if you apply for housing earlier. Housing is guaranteed for Freshman so you will get a dorm.
For sophomore year they get an appointment time, if they are in an LLP they get first pick in the dorm that houses their LLP (but not other dorms) otherwise they pick from available housing spots at the time of their appointment.
My son was not in LLP, lived in an honors dorm with an honors roommate freshman year. Lives in an on campus dorm thatâs an apartment this year.
