Hi lolwutmhm,

Congrats on your acceptance into UMD! I just got mine as well :)


Here’s a thread about differences: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-maryland-college-park/716271-college-park-scholars-honors-gemstone.html
This could be the result of either of these:
It could mean that you applied as an LEP (Limited Enrollment Program major, where there is a limit on the # who can major in the school’s most popular ones): ex: business, architecture. Full list: [University of Maryland - Limited Enrollment Progams](http://www.lep.umd.edu/) The admiss counselors may not have seen you as a perfect fit for the major (or maybe it was just super competitive this year), but they saw you as a fit for UMD in general, so they admitted you, but now want you to pick a different major.
OR
Maybe you entered something wrong in you app by accident? You could try contacting them. I think you may also be allowed to apply for a certain major (after a semester of work) if you decided to attend UMD. (correct me if I’m wrong about this step though because I’m not sure).
