Just my humble opinion, but for 30K delta on an accredited degree from two big ten schools, and the smaller feel and great support from Schreyer, this would be a no brainer to me!
In a way it is our situation too (though no Schreyer here) - DS is in for engineering at Penn State (In state) and UMD (OOS no merit), amoung others. I showed him those same numbers you have, and he already declined his UMD acceptance lol. Still looking at others in the ballpark of Penn State with and without merit, but 30K delta didnât make and sense given the schools for us.
Now that youâve been admitted to UMD, we hope youâll join us for a celebratory get-together hosted in your community! During one of our Terps on Tour receptions, youâll have the opportunity to:
meet representatives from UMD
hear from esteemed alumni speakers
tune in to a live student panel and hear first-hand Terp experiences
learn more about your next steps as an admitted student
Youâll also have a chance to confirm your enrollment and celebrate in-person with other newly admitted students! Light refreshments will be served.
Iâve read a lot of posts about meeting gateway requirements and transferring into CS with no problems. Does anyone know if it is the same for aerospace engineering or is this a competitive application after meeting gateway requirements? Thanks!!
When my D started at UMD inthe Fall of 2014, CS was not a LEP. The big question at her orientation was about being able to get into Engineering from L&S.
They assured everyone that doing an internal transfer was not a problem, as long as the gateway requirements were met.
I have not seen anything since then that would indicate issues with transferring into Engineering. My D did an internal transfer into a LEP (not engineering) and the guy who became her husband, did an internal transfer from L&S into Engineering.
From what I can tell, the sub-specialty does not matter. You transfer from L&S into the Clark School of Engineering
Is admission to the School of Engineering competitive?
As a Limited Enrollment Program (LEP), admission to the School of Engineering is indeed competitive.
However, in general, space permitting, if you complete the required gateway courses for the School of Engineering, you can expect to transfer into this college.
Do I need to know what major I will be within the School of Engineering before I apply?
Yes, you must apply for a specific major within Engineering. You will not be accepted as an undecided
engineering student. Visit the following websites to learn more about the different fields and specialties within Engineering: http://www.eng.umd.edu/advising/majors OR http://www.onetonline.org/
Quick Inquiry if anyone knows the answerâŠ.does UMD offer any type of scholarships to Spring Freshman admitted students and if so, when is that awarded ( for those that applied EA). Thanks in advance for response.
Wow, thanks for posting this. This is very interesting. Also, the subjects of those kidsâ essays (alcoholism, dadâs affair with a prostitute) are subjects my D22âs guidance counselor says are off limits.
I would recommend speaking with admissions. In 2020 it was not on the web site and another parent told me about receiving the stacked scholarship. Admissions confirmed this and my terp has received it each semester.
