D got accepted for Spring. If she ends up at UMD, she’ll do FC for Fall.

So, from what we’re reading:

1. Housing is guaranteed if she applies before May 1

2. However, classes are "First Come" starting March 1.

3. Applying and getting classes would involve ~$600 in non-refundable deposits.

She’s still waiting to hear back from several schools (some of which may not notify until as late as April 1), so we’d rather wait to hear from the rest of the schools she applied to before signing up for classes.

Is there a risk in waiting? Do FC classes tend to fill up in that first month or so?

Thanks!
