What are the stats of students/types of students who get into the Spring Semester at UMD College Par
@mdamd2017 - I would recommend looking at last year’s decision thread to see the stats of students offered a Spring admit. In general, I would guess that they are students at the lower end of the freshman profile range.
My personal interpretation is that the spring admits are those that have proven themselves in the classroom (strong GPA, letters of rec, essays, EC’s) but whose standardized test scores are not in the preferred range.
Per their website: (https://www.admissions.umd.edu/apply/freshman.php)
For the Fall 2016 freshmen class, we received nearly 30,200 applications for a class of 4,075. For students admitted for the Fall 2016 semester, the middle 50% of SAT scores ranged from 1260 to 1420, and 29-33 on the ACT. As a result 25% of the admitted students scored below a 1260 on the SAT and 25% scored above a 1420. Admitted freshmen also earned an average weighted GPA of 4.21.
My daughter got a 32 on her ACTs and got Spring semester it was her gpa that was a little lower than the average
