Maryland you always want to apply EA, it gives you the benefit of getting scholarships and into their honors/scholars/etc programs. I don’t think 90% gets filled in EA, but it is more like 65%/35%

Maryland says they decide to admit you or not, THEN it goes to your college. So if CS doesn’t accept you, you get admitted into Letters & Sciences and can transfer into CS. There are some gateway classes you need to take to transfer, but it isn’t as hard for CS as it is for say Business.

Maryland doesn’t defer anyone that I’ve ever seen.

Good luck for your child! And when I say EA, that means every single thing confirmed there by 11/1. If ANYTHING comes past that? They push you into RD. Including test scores. So make sure those scores get sent and check your checklist often to make sure they have everything. Submit it well before the deadline to be able to make sure they have all of it (we submitted like 10/18 I think).
