<p>If you are talking about financial aid, as in based on need and not merit, I don’t believe that would be different for IS and OOS other than cost of attendance and personal income, so expected family contribution, per FAFSA submission. Priority is given to those that submit the FAFSA by the priority deadline, so the sooner you submit, the more likely you will get money. If you submit late, the money will likely have been allocated and you won’t get that much.

<p>@md1960, As for IS v OOS admissions standards, I don’t believe that info is published. It is just the average freshman profile, that incorporates IS and OOS students, which is published here [Office</a> of Undergraduate Admissions · University of Maryland » Freshman Profile](<a href=“http://www.admissions.umd.edu/counselor/FreshmanProfile.php]Office”>http://www.admissions.umd.edu/counselor/FreshmanProfile.php)
Are you IS or OOS?</p>
