<p>Hey all, i was just wondering how much of a disadvantage not doing EA to Maryland is… I got shockingly denied by my school that was tied for my second choice with UMD, and assuming I don’t get into my top, I’d love to go to Maryland. However, I’ve heard that not doing EA makes it very difficult to get in. I’m OOS also. This was also said at Maryland Day when I went in 2010, but I’m hoping that’s not entirely true. Please let me know!</p>
<p>What are your stats and it’s definitely going to be significantly harder to get in if you missed the priority date especially since your OOS.</p>
<p>Yes.
You cannot get into any living learning/honors programs. You will not be considered for scholarship money.
My friends and I were actually among the people telling prospective students to apply by the priority date. (Some of my friends ended up spring admits because of it)</p>
<p>Yes, that was definitely a mistake if you’re OOS of state especially. Obviously theres no guarantee that you’ll get rejected but I’ve heard of plenty of qualified instate applicants getting “spring semestered” because they didnt apply early action. I pretty much had to nag one of my friends to emphasize that she needed to apply first deadline and she ended up getting honors( an opportunity not open to second deadline applicants)</p>
<p>ugh dammit… well my stats are 3.3 UW, 2190 superscore, 2130 one sitting, 670 mathII, 730 Chem…</p>
<p>I don’t know how competitive your school is, but that seems like a rather low gpa assuming its on a scale of 4</p>
<p>we’re top 10 in MA, and usually send a kid to (almost) every ivy (princeton and dartmouth seem to have something against us) and lots of little ivies. my class especially is full of ridiculous people. not trying to turn this into a chance thread or anything, im done with those, but thanks for the notification, i’ve already begun the process of crossing off yet another fall-back haha</p>
