University of Maryland Transfer Questions

<p>@hanna935 @FlyFlydos That is some serious BS. I sent my transcript in before I applied too and the online app confirmed it reached before March 1st. Not only that but any mailed material – like transcripts – is usually dated by the postmark for admissions purposes. Even Virginia Tech took my transcript when they got it two days late. [bureaucratic facepalm] Maryland better be worth my troubles.</p>

<p>I’m not sure if my question can be answered here, but I figure it’s worth asking because the advisors at Maryland have been quiet on the matter so far.</p>

<p>I am a student at Montgomery College intending to transfer to Maryland to get a BS in physics. However, the information at <a href=“http://www.tce.umd.edu/tclookup.html[/url]”>http://www.tce.umd.edu/tclookup.html&lt;/a&gt; seems to indicate that MC’s physics courses transfer only as physics for engineers courses and aren’t a part of Maryland’s requirements for a physics major.</p>

<p>Does anyone know if this is the case? If it is, does anyone know if there’s a way to bypass Maryland’s freshman and sophomore physics classes so that I would be able to enter as a junior? Alternatively, does anyone know who I would talk to at Maryland about getting this sorted out?</p>

<p>I appreciate any information that can be provided. Thank you.</p>

<p>Hello,
Alright, so my situation is a bit complicated, so I will try to sum it up as quickly as possible.</p>

<p>I am an undergraduate student hoping to be accepted to UMDCP as a transferring sophomore for the fall of 2012.</p>

<p>My statistics are as follows:
–High School
-hs gpa- 3.6 weighted- bad year freshman year (3.3) ended senior year with a 4.3
-took 1 ap senior year (english) and honors english fr-jr year
-Honors concert band
-2 years cheerleading
-4 years marching band
-worked as a waitress and instrument rental
-member of trim music honors society
-member of student council
-class officer
-ran a prom dress donation charity
-1780 sat
-Caucasian
-peer tutor</p>

<p>–College
-Public Relations Major
-4 year private university
-3.66 first semester gpa
-3.95 second semester gpa
-kind of “eh” essay on transfer app
-Quality letter of recommendation from Yale professor</p>

<p>The reason I am still waiting on my decision is because I had to take my required math second semester so they told me I would be receiving a decision late june early July.</p>

<p>What do you guys think? Do I have any chance?</p>

<p>If I transfer from Anne Arundel Community college with a degree and over 70 credits ( certificate too) does that consider guaranteed in because I’m instate and theres a plan?</p>

<p>Ok, So I just applied to UMCP as a transfer from a University in Pennsylvania, where I am from. I have 68 Credits, and my GPA is a 3.38 but it should be over a 3.4 by the end of this semester. I re-took some classes, but I have all As and Bs now, and I am Hispanic. What are the chances of me getting in?</p>

<p>I am an instate student with a 3.2 and 60 credits completed. I’m told that my gpa/credit combination basically guarantees acceptance, but my issue is that I applied after the priority deadline for spring. Sadly, I feel that the date my application processed will be the only factor in my acceptance, not my actual merits. I’m just wondering whether I am incorrect about the impact of applying after the priority deadline?</p>

<p>they should’ve sent out acceptance letters yesterday by 5pm. Did you get yours yet?</p>

<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>I’m a student at an in-state Community College whose reading these posts with mixed emotions (I’ll read one post and think I’m sure to be rejected, but then I’ll read another post and think that I might not be so boned). Basically I was wondering if someone could gauge my chances (honestly, please don’t hold anything back, and be as brutal as you can).</p>

<p>Stats:
Maryland Community College GPA: 3.41 w/ 15 credits
-9 credits in the summer of 2012
-6 credits in the fall of 2012
-12 planned credits for the spring of 2013
GPA had an upward trend from about a 3.1 to a 3.5
Nuclear family all graduated College Park
SAT: 1910 w/ 660 Math, 650 Reading, and a 600 Writing
Essay: Confident in the essay’s ability to capture me
E.C.: Lots of community service, Eagle scout, some drama in High School
Residence: Maryland resident of course!</p>

<p>P.S. I took 10 credits at the same Community College I now attend, senior year (2011-12) with jumpstart program</p>

<p>Thanks so much for any help, good luck to everyone whose applying, FEAR THE TURTLE!</p>

<p>I would be surprise if you never get into UMCP. It might not happen until you get your AA but I be surprised if you don’t get accepted at some point. I would apply for sure.</p>

<p>I posted awhile back because I have been wondering if I will get accepted or not. It has been two months since I applied. I applied on Nov. 15, and I have sent my transcript twice now. I have called and emailed the university twice each, and I check everyday to see if I got accepted or not, but my application is still pending they say. I have a 3.4 GPA and I have 84 credits as of now, and I am Hispanic, but I am trying to get into their Speech Pathology program. Will I get accepted? Why is it taking them so long to reply back to my emails, and make a decision? I asked them to switch my application to Fall now too…but they have not said anything about that either…</p>

<p>Hey Leila23, did you get in?</p>
