1. As for your first question you will receive a decision around mid December since you applied after the early action deadline...
2. @ColleenC18... UMD’s admissions is split up into 2 parts:
1. Admission to the University itself
2. Admission into major if it is (LEP)
Admissions run off of a (major blind process) meaning your classes aren’t really looked at and compared with your major until you are admitted to the university itself and go through the second part to get into your (LEP) major
So I’m applying for the information science major...
My stats:
(Out of state)
32 credits
Both math & English classes transfer
Cumulative GPA 3.7
Honor roll award
4 recommendations
Good college essay
Good extra curricular activities
MTAP would probably help if you were in state
If you did well in high school that would probably help out
And we will see! 🤞
I’m pretty sure UMD admissions twitter account will announce when the decisions come out...
Also I think having the math and English requirements will help you out a lot... from what I’ve seen in past forums and talking to advisors it seems to be a very important part of what makes an applicant competitive
No I have not seen any others... so either these applicants are very quiet or there aren’t as many
