Does it look bad to NOT apply/respond to Honors College Invitation?

You were selected to be part of Honor automatically but then you had to write essay and rank the ones you were interested.

Yes. After you are accepted and have been offered an honors invitation. Not at the time of application, which is what I was referring to.

@COMom3

I believe UMD is by invitation after you get your acceptance, where the majority of the other schools are asking for essays and another application before he even finds out if he’s been admitted.

Correct.
