<p>Jewels, I don’t think UMD had that question this year.</p>
<p>@jomass, the spiel I got from UMD was that Scholars was for people who leaned more towards Extra Curriculars and Honors for those that seemed more intellectual (their words not mine). But after a while they accepted that Stats have a lot to do with it - those with higher stats get into Honors, pretty high stats get into Scholars. They also told me the new essay questions and the short answer questions have a decent deal to do with the placement as well.</p>
<p>Disclaimer: I got into Scholars.</p>
