<p>My D was admitted for Spring '08 at University of Maryland College Park. They have a program called Freshman Connection where spring '08 admits can still take classes on campus (after 3PM ) with other kids in the same program. They have all of the rights and privileges as a fall admit except no housing.
D will live in a great apt for a semester - or longer if she likes it- but she has the option to move onto campus in the spring.
At first she was upset - but now she realizes that this is much better than being waitlisted or rejected.
The people who work in the Freshman connection office are fantastic - they estimate 400 kids will take part in the program so instead of being part of an incoming class of 4000 - she'll be part of a class of 400.
All in all - it works for us.</p>
